Women’s Tennis Association Selects Zscaler to Accelerate Secure Digital Transformation Initiatives
13 December 2022 - 12:00AM
Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security,
today announced the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) has selected
the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ to protect its users,
data, and infrastructure as they move away from legacy
castle-and-moat security built on firewalls and VPNs to a
cloud-first Zero Trust architecture. As part of this transition,
the world leader in women’s professional sports will be leveraging
Zscaler’s platform powered by the world’s largest security cloud to
secure its hybrid and work-from-anywhere business model.
The WTA is one of the world’s most recognizable and high-profile
sports organizations, consisting of more than 1600 players
representing approximately 87 nations. Comprising more than 50
events and four Grand Slams, the Hologic WTA Tour spans six
continents and nearly 30 countries and regions. To manage all
of these events and meet the demands of players, the media, and its
global audience of over 900 million, the organization requires a
highly mobile workforce with secure access to the internet and a
host of SaaS and internal applications residing in private and
public clouds.
“WTA made Zscaler a focal point of our Zero Trust strategy,”
said Paul Sheth, Head of Information Security at the WTA. “With
Zscaler, we can enable our entire staff to work securely from
anywhere two to three times faster than with competitive solutions.
The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange is more mature than other security
platforms in the market and allows us to move away from third-party
VPN solutions, thus minimizing the attack surface and eliminating
additional point product purchases while also reducing operational
overhead.”
Recognizing the need to transition from a traditional
castle-and-moat security architecture to a more secure, scalable,
and cost-effective infrastructure, the WTA pivoted to a Security
Service Edge (SSE) architecture, of which Zero Trust principles
form the foundation. To accelerate its secure digital
transformation initiatives, the organization then selected Zscaler
as its trusted cloud security partner of choice. The WTA plans to
implement Zscaler for Users, comprised of Zscaler Internet Access™,
Zscaler Private Access™and Zscaler Digital Experience™, fundamental
services on the Zero Trust Exchange platform, as each provides the
association with the following critical capabilities:
- Provide WTA staff and authorized
parties worldwide with fast, secure SaaS access and comprehensive
visibility into internet traffic, including Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) encrypted traffic, and advanced threat protection.
- Supply secure and fast access to the WTA’s private applications
in the private or public clouds.
- Improve the digital experiences for
the hybrid workforce and cloud with a unified view of application,
CloudPath, and endpoint performance metrics.
Zscaler for Users provides the WTA with multilayered cyber
threat protection as well as Zero Trust connectivity, which uses
identity and business policies to control and secure the
organization’s IT environment. The association can automatically
achieve user-to-application segmentation to shrink the WTA’s
attack surface and prevent lateral movement, data compromise, and
loss. Further, more than 150 Zscaler data centers for policy
enforcement reduce latency and ensure an enhanced user
experience for WTA staff.
“By selecting Zscaler, the WTA has not only accelerated its
secure digital transformation but established an extensible and
scalable zero trust foundation for future phases in its
transformation journey,” said Steve House, Senior Vice President,
Product Management at Zscaler. “We look forward to partnering with
the WTA for years to come as it continues to adapt to meet the
demands of its players, the media, and its global audiences.”
