How to build resilience in the event of extreme cloud outages

With widespread IT outages over the summer, many organizations are evaluating their critical tech vendors’ strategies for resilience and disaster recovery.

We received a flurry of calls following these summer incidents from concerned customers who wanted to understand whether Zscaler is exposed to similar risk. We advised our customers and prospects at length in an oversubscribed series of CXO briefings and a public Preventing Cloud Outages webinar.

While no cloud vendor is immune to issues, Zscaler has multiple safeguards in place that dramatically lower risk. With Zscaler:

• Customers initiate their own upgrades

• Most updates are done in the cloud—not on the endpoint agent

• Zscaler tests updates in our own environment first

Check out our full blog post detailing how Zscaler has built in resilience against outages.
