She's responsible for moving custom orders from request to delivery across continents, systems, branches, and clouds. It's additional landscape full of threats and bad actors. But she's in good hands. She's got Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. The most secure cyber platform in the world. Zscaler filters it all behind the scenes. Blocking what's risky and delivering what's real. Never trust, always verify. Like the legitimate B2B order that just landed in her inbox from a partner, Jordan scans the specs and provides design tweaks to her B2B design partner, Kenzo, in Tokyo. Zscaler inspects the file for threats in real time. Kenzo is able to access the file without using a VPN, update the design, and send it back to Jordan. Access is fast and secure. Zscaler securely connects Jordan with the manufacturing factory, not through a network, but through policy-based access through the Zero Trust Exchange. The production manager, Amir, gets secure access to design files in SAP and nothing more. To make it work, Amir needs to find efficiencies. So he asks for help from a public Gen-AI application that lives outside the company's control. But Zscaler knows this file contains confidential financial data and guides it to a Gen-AI application approved by the organization. Data protected, efficiencies unlocked, let the manufacturing begin. Attackers scan factory networks, searching for vulnerable devices. They find an IoT camera, but before they can act, it is segmented and isolated by Zscaler. No access to robots, no lateral movement, no exposure, thanks to Zscaler. Same goes for third-party vendors who only get access to the systems they need, not the entire infrastructure. Every user protected, every branch and cloud connection secured. Zscaler ensures tablets and any cellular device has secure access to production orders and shipping details. Nothing compromised, and no one having to worry about Zero Trust or the billions of threats that never reach them. With your data protected at every step, Jordan, Kenzo, Amir and their entire workforce can focus on doing their job and doing it well. Zscaler. Zero Trust Everywhere. Your trusted partner to use AI securely.

TL;DR

Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange secures global supply chain operations through policy-based access that eliminates VPN requirements while protecting B2B collaboration, manufacturing coordination, and IoT devices across continents.
The platform automatically inspects files for threats in real time, redirects Gen AI queries containing confidential data to approved applications, and segments compromised IoT devices to prevent lateral movement.
Zero trust architecture ensures third-party vendors and manufacturing partners receive access only to necessary systems, not entire infrastructure, while maintaining transparent security that doesn't impede productivity.

Summary

This demonstration follows a fictional global supply chain manager named Jordan as she coordinates a custom manufacturing order across multiple continents, partners, and systems. The narrative showcases how Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange platform secures each step of the supply chain workflow without requiring traditional VPN connections. The video illustrates policy-based access controls that allow B2B partners in Tokyo to collaborate on design files, manufacturing teams to access only necessary SAP data, and factory IoT devices to be automatically segmented when vulnerabilities are detected. Zscaler positions its platform as enabling secure Gen AI usage by redirecting queries containing confidential data to approved applications, while maintaining zero-trust principles that prevent lateral movement from compromised devices. The demonstration emphasizes that security operates transparently in the background, allowing workers to focus on productivity while the platform filters billions of threats and enforces granular access policies across users, branches, clouds, and third-party vendors throughout the entire supply chain ecosystem.

FAQ

How does Zscaler enable secure collaboration without VPNs?

Zscaler uses policy-based access through the Zero Trust Exchange to connect users directly to specific applications and resources rather than providing network-level access. This allows partners like the Tokyo-based designer to access only the files they need without VPN connections, while the platform inspects all traffic for threats in real time.

What happens when employees try to use public Gen AI applications with confidential data?

Zscaler detects when files contain confidential or sensitive information and automatically redirects Gen AI queries to organization-approved applications instead of allowing data to reach public AI services. This prevents data leakage while still enabling employees to leverage AI for productivity improvements.
