Securing Branch and OT Environments with Agentless Segmentation

Branch offices, remote campuses, and distributed OT/IoT environments have long relied on legacy VPNs, firewalls, and replicated security stacks to stay connected and secure. But these approaches introduce high costs, operational complexity, and leave dangerous gaps—especially around lateral movement within branch networks.

In this SANS First Look webcast, we explore how Zscaler’s Zero Trust Branch (ZTB) introduces a new, streamlined approach to securing branch and OT environments. By eliminating traditional perimeter gear and enforcing microsegmentation without endpoint agents or NAC, ZTB helps enterprises improve security while simplifying operations.

What You Will Learn

The Branch Security Challenge
Why duplicating security stacks or backhauling branch traffic creates cost, complexity, and user experience issues.
How Zero Trust Branch Works
A deep dive into ZTB’s agentless segmentation model, where every endpoint is its own security zone, preventing east-west/lateral movement.
Simplifying Infrastructure
How ZTB can replace firewalls, proxies, VPNs, and NAC systems—reducing capital and operational spend while maintaining strong security.
Operational and User Benefits
Improved user experience for branch employees, built-in integration with Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Private Access (ZPA), and visibility into all branch traffic.
Key Use Cases
From secure remote campuses to IoT and OT deployments, learn where ZTB provides the most immediate security and cost benefits.
