Hybrid working, multi-cloud environments and a plethora of connected devices have made the classic network perimeter completely disappear. All the while, cyber threats have become smarter, faster and more sophisticated than ever.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new era poses a difficult question for many <strong>IT managers, CISOs and SME organizations<\/strong>: <strong>How do you ensure secure access to applications and data without limiting the flexibility of your users?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer lies in the powerful partnership between <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensight.nl\/en\/vendor\/zscaler\/\" data-type=\"vendor\" data-id=\"6136\">Zscaler<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensight.nl\/en\/vendor\/crowdstrike\/\" data-type=\"vendor\" data-id=\"6176\">CrowdStrike<\/a><\/strong>. And as a partner of both platforms, <strong>OpenSight<\/strong> helps you deploy this technology to its full potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenge: Too much threat, not enough overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a modern IT environment, there are thousands of potential attack vectors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Employees logging in from unsafe networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Devices whose security status is unknown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legacy tools that do not work well with each other or that duplicate work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Security teams are flooded with signals from dozens of sources. Isolated tools create blind spots. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensight.nl\/en\/services\/overview\/governance-risk-compliance-grc-tooling\/\" data-type=\"dienst\" data-id=\"4831\">compliance requirements<\/a> and incidents that demand immediate action.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is missing? <strong>Coherence. Context. Speed.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution: Zscaler + CrowdStrike integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, Zscaler and CrowdStrike form a <strong>state-of-the-art zero trust solution<\/strong> that drastically simplifies and strengthens your Security Operations Centre (SOC). This is not a standard \u2018tool pairing\u2019. This is a <strong>fully integrated security architecture<\/strong> designed for today&#8217;s hybrid reality.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Contextual Zero Trust Access<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zscaler&#8217;s application access is now powered by real-time device data from CrowdStrike Falcon. Only devices that meet the <strong>Falcon ZTA criteria and show no active incidents<\/strong> are granted access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Holistic risk management with Risk360<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zscaler&#8217;s Risk360 analyzes risk across four attack stages: <em>external surface,<\/em> <em>compromise<\/em>, <em>lateral movement<\/em> and <em>data loss<\/em>. CrowdStrike provides in-depth risk data per asset, user and third party.  The result? Visual insight into your entire threat landscape and clear priorities for recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Unified Vulnerability Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Zscaler&#8217;s Data Fabric, all vulnerabilities from Falcon&#8217;s CVE database are automatically enriched, prioritized and put into context. No more fragmented lists, but real insights that lead to action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Coordination of detection and response<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the ready-to-use <strong>Falcon Foundry Zscaler app<\/strong>, detection, threat sharing and automatic actions are fully orchestrated. Sandbox analytics, SIEM detections and access policies intervene immediately in the event of a threat. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer d-none d-lg-block\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row justify-content-center\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-5\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"h-100 d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opensight.nl\/content\/serious-broker-economist-looking-computer-screen.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opensight.nl\/content\/serious-broker-economist-looking-computer-screen.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.opensight.nl\/content\/serious-broker-economist-looking-computer-screen-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.opensight.nl\/content\/serious-broker-economist-looking-computer-screen-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-6 offset-lg-1\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As an IT manager or CISO, what do you get out of it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Faster threat detection:<\/strong> real-time signals from CrowdStrike and Zscaler provide early recognition of suspicious activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accelerated incident response:<\/strong> threats are automatically isolated and addressed, significantly reducing recovery time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complete visibility:<\/strong> A single view of risks, vulnerabilities and incidents across your entire IT landscape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improved collaboration between IT and SOC<\/strong>: Streamlined workflows and shared insights ensure faster, more aligned actions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More value, less complexity<\/strong>: Integrate existing tools and processes without needlessly expanding your security stack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased confidence in your cyber strategy:<\/strong> You demonstrate a clear grip on risk, which boosts management and board confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row justify-content-center\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-10\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why OpenSight?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At OpenSight, we help organizations <strong>not just understand zero trust, but make it a reality<\/strong>.
