Zscaler and CrowdStrike have announced a series of integrations that deliver end-to-end security protection from the endpoint to the application.

These integrations for joint customers strengthen security by providing an identity-centric and data-centric zero trust approach that encompasses data, people, devices, workloads, and networks.

Zscaler is CrowdStrike’s first cloud security partner to leverage CrowdStrike Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA) in general availability to enable secure access to applications from any endpoint, regardless of the user or location.

Utilizing the expansive telemetry of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform that processes over 5 trillion events a week, ZTA grants conditional access based on continuous real-time security posture assessments of device health and compliance checks.

Through the integration with Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), access to private applications can be automatically adapted based on the ZTA assessment score and updated access policies from Zscaler.

This collaboration provides joint customers with adaptive, risk-based access control to private applications, enabling improved defense for people working from anywhere.

The integration also enables automated workflow between the two platforms through threat intelligence and telemetry data sharing, providing zero-day malware protection, automatic update of inline custom blocklists, and faster data correlation and impact assessment.
