How does Browser Access provide connectivity to users?

Browser Access provides connectivity to users by allowing them to connect through a web browser without the necessity of having the Zscaler Client Connector installed. This feature is particularly beneficial as it simplifies the user experience, enabling access to web applications, regardless of the device or OS. As long as users have a compliant browser, they can establish a secure connection to Zscaler services, facilitating efficient and safe access to internal applications, web content, and other resources.

By not requiring additional software installation, it streamlines the onboarding process for users and enhances accessibility for those who may not have administrative rights to install software on their devices. This approach is critical for organizations looking to support a variety of endpoints while ensuring security and maintaining control over user access.

Other methods, such as installing a VPN client, using mobile applications exclusively, or requiring dedicated software, impose additional steps and potential barriers to user connectivity, which can hinder productivity and user satisfaction. Therefore, for ease of access, the ability to leverage browser functionality aligns perfectly with the core goals of digital transformation initiatives.
