Zscaler Private Access excels for enterprises eliminating VPN sprawl in favor of direct-to-application connectivity. It enforces least-privilege access by default, preventing lateral movement while simplifying remote work security. Best suited for organizations with cloud-first strategies and strict compliance mandates.
