Ensuring Cloud Workload Security for Federal and State Government

By 2025, Gartner estimates that over 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud native platforms, up from 30% in 2021. As federal agencies increasingly migrate their mission-critical applications to the public cloud, securing cloud workloads becomes a critical priority.

In this on-demand webinar, our speakers, Sakthi Chandrasekaran and Franklin Nguyen, will explore Zscaler's advancements to the Zero Trust Exchange™ platform, tailored to meet the stringent security and compliance needs of federal government IT professionals to further simplify zero trust for cloud workload security. These innovations include native integration with AWS user-defined tags, all ports and protocols inspection for cloud-based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and expansion to GovCloud and China regional public clouds.

Key topics covered in this webinar included:

• The significance of securing cloud workloads for federal agencies within the context of digital transformation initiatives, aiming to secure mission-critical applications in the public cloud, eliminate site-to-site VPN, and enhance security for cloud-based Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

• How a Zero Trust Architecture can radically simplify and improve cloud workload security by eliminating lateral movement, reducing operational costs and complexity, and ensuring consistent threat and data protection.

• In-depth exploration of new capabilities related to cloud workload security that are now available to federal agencies.

• Compliance considerations and how Zscaler assists federal government agencies in meeting regulatory requirements.

This webinar provided valuable insights into how Zscaler's zero trust innovations could enhance cloud workload security, ensure compliance, and enable federal government agencies to securely embrace the advantages of the public cloud
