Let ZHERO’s expert analysis engine continuously scan your Zscaler configuration for security gaps, optimization opportunities, and best practice violations — with automatic resolution proposals and one-click remediation for identified issues.

Evergrowing Library ofExpert Knowledge divided in categories

Security Posture
Immediate Threat Detection and Vulnerability Closure

 

Identify and eliminate critical security gaps before they can be exploited like:
  • SSL Inspection Bypass Risks: Detect overly broad SSL exemptions that create blind spots
  • QUIC Traffic Leaks: Identify firewall rules allowing unencrypted QUIC traffic on both UDP/443 and UDP/80
  • Data Protection Holes: Discover unprotected sensitive data paths
  • IdP Certificate Expiry Monitoring: Proactive alerts before authentication certificates expire
Optimization
Streamline Configuration for Maximum Performance

 

Eliminate redundancy and complexity to improve overall policy quality & readability, like:
  • Redundant Policies/Entities: Identify duplicate or overlapping rules that slow processing
  • Unreachable Rules: Detect policies that never get evaluated
  • Unused Entities: Find categories, groups, and rules with no traffic in 30+ days
  • IP/CIDR Containment Detection: Identify redundant or overlapping IP ranges across rules
Compliance
Maintain Continuous Audit Readiness

 

Ensure adherence to industry standards and regulatory requirements, like:
  • TLS Version Compliance: Enforce modern encryption standards (TLS 1.2+)
  • Device Management Standards: Apple KB 101555, Google KB 10513641 compliance
  • Regulatory Alignment & Industry Benchmarks
Best Practices
Expert Configuration Applied Automatically

Implement Zscaler’s recommended settings and industry best practices, like:
  • Malware Protection Settings: Optimal threat prevention configuration
  • ATP Risk Tolerance: Balanced security vs. user experience settings
  • SSL Catch-All Rules: Proper ANY/ANY rule implementation
  • Security Feature Activation: Enable all recommended protection features
Intelligence
Data-Driven Insights from Log Analysis

Leverage log analysis and traffic patterns for proactive optimization, like:
  • Traffic Pattern Analysis: 30-day SSL inspection rates and trends
  • Behavioral Anomalies: Unusual configuration combinations or access patterns
  • Predictive Maintenance: Identify issues before they impact users
  • Usage-Based Recommendations: Optimize based on actual traffic data

ZIA Analysis Templates in Action

A few examples from our growing library of expert-validated ZIA analysis patterns.

Just a few examples of our analysis templates in action:

ZPA Analysis Templates NEW

First-ever analysis templates for ZPA — 14 expert-validated templates that extend ZHERO’s best-practice analysis beyond ZIA, covering access policy security, application segment hygiene, and configuration cleanup.

Access Policy Catch-All

Detect catch-all rules that may bypass intended access controls — overly broad policies that shadow more specific rules below them.

Broad Scope Detection

Flag application segments with overly broad domain or IP configurations that may expose unintended resources.

Unreachable Policies

Identify ZPA access policies that will never trigger because they are shadowed by higher-priority rules — eliminating dead configuration.

Unused Application Segments

Find application segments not referenced by any access policy — reducing attack surface and simplifying your ZPA configuration.
