News Summary
Versa, the global leader in unified security and networking, today announced an integration with Zscaler ZIA that eliminates the manual configuration barriers slowing SASE adoption. The new integration connects Versa Secure SD-WAN and Zscaler ZIA to deliver fast, secure, and highly resilient branch and campus connectivity through intelligent PoP selection, automated tunnel creation, and self-healing networking.
As enterprises accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption, they face growing pressure to modernize network and security architectures without adding operational complexity. Many large enterprises have migrated to SD-WAN and adopted cloud security solutions. As leaders in these market categories, Versa SD-WAN and Zscaler ZIA are common choices for enterprises. With this capability, Versa Secure SD-WAN integrates with Zscaler ZIA to bring together leading SD-WAN and cloud security, with automation that streamlines SASE deployment and operations at enterprise scale. The integration between Versa and Zscaler helps organizations deploy comprehensive Zero Trust security across several locations through automated workflows, delivering faster connectivity, stronger security, and higher availability.
Simplifying and Operationalizing SASE at Scale
As organizations embrace a next-generation architecture, evolving it generally begins with a multi-vendor environment, built in isolation resulting in complexity to configure, manage, and operate. Traditional SD-WAN and SSE are statically configured to rely on manual PoP selection, tunnel configuration, and static routing, which can lead to inconsistent performance, configuration drift, and slower troubleshooting.
This integration focuses on making large-scale environments using Versa SD-WAN and Zscaler ZIA easier to operate. Automated workflows intelligently select optimal primary and secondary ZIA PoPs for each site, enable rapid secure tunnel provisioning, and apply consistent application policies across locations.
"Traditional approaches to SASE integration rely on manual processes that fail to scale as enterprises modernize, adding complexity at a time when AI-driven applications are expanding the attack surface," said Rahul Vaidya, senior director of product management at Versa. "By automating how Versa Secure SD-WAN connects to Zscaler Internet Access, we are removing that friction, helping customers reduce complexity, improve performance, and strengthen security while scaling."
“Versa’s automated integration with Zscaler Internet Access helps customers accelerate secure branch connectivity while reducing operational complexity,” said Justin Lau, director of technology ecosystem at Zscaler. “Automation plays a key role in helping organizations deploy and operate Zero Trust architectures more efficiently across distributed environments.”
