\nB2B Technology Innovation Leader Nokia Selects Zscaler to Enhance Security Posture,\u00a0Simplify IT Operations, and Expedite Cloud-First Initiatives
\n<\/h2>\n

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zscaler, Inc<\/u><\/a>. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today announced that Nokia, a multinational technology leader in pioneering networks, digital services and applications, is deploying the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange\u2122 platform to enhance its security, operational efficiency, and cloud capabilities.<\/p>\n

The Zscaler platform is a cloud-native security solution that connects users directly to applications and workloads without exposing the corporate network, thereby reducing the attack surface and enhancing overall cybersecurity and compliance posture. Zscaler\u2019s platform is built to provide secure, fast connections from any device, anywhere, at any time.<\/p>\n

\n Legacy Challenges Lead to Strategic Modernization<\/strong>
\n
Nokia previously relied on a combination of traditional hardware and virtual firewalls across data centers, offices, and cloud environments. With the traditional IP-based security approach, maintaining uniform security control across all branch offices and across all applications and platforms was complex. \u201cNow we are moving towards identity-based, location-independent, application access, with a zero trust security approach without compromising on user experience,\u201d said Nishant Batra, Chief Strategy & Technology Officer at Nokia. \u201cWith our push towards a cloud-first model, it became evident that we needed a security architecture capable of supporting this evolution efficiently and securely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Traditional firewall solutions lack the agility to deliver true zero-trust security, impacting the optimization of digital and cloud transformation initiatives. Nokia\u2019s adoption of Zscaler\u2019s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution aligns with its goal to streamline operations, reduce latency, and elevate security without the limitations of traditional solutions.<\/p>\n

\n A Future-Focused Approach with Zscaler\u2019s Zero Trust Exchange Platform<\/strong>
\n
Nokia has selected Zscaler due to Zscaler\u2019s robust, multi-cloud SaaS platform, which provides extensive public edge coverage and an application-centric approach to zero-trust. Zscaler\u2019s platform includes more than 160 globally distributed data centers to optimize performance and ensure highly available, seamless and secure access for Nokia\u2019s global workforce.<\/p>\n
