With Zscaler, Deutsche Telekom is able to offer its customers a cloud-based security solution that includes the following key capabilities:

Advanced Security

• Web security, next generation cloud firewall and sandboxing that ensures that businesses are protected from inbound threats including traditional malware, botnet attacks and advanced persistent threats (APT)
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to monitor and block core intellectual property from leaving a company
• Enforcement of a company’s Internet access policy to prevent the unauthorized access to locations or applications that could compromise a company’s security posture

Comprehensive Protection Across Locations, Users and Devices

With Zscaler’s cloud based security, Deutsche Telekom is able to offer its business customers a high level of security for all their employees no matter where they are – headquarters, branch offices or working remotely from their homes – and irrespective of the device they use to access the Internet (PC, mobile phone or tablet).

Simple, Cost-Effective Deployment and Management
