What capability within ZIA protects users against phishing attacks?

The capability within Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) that protects users against phishing attacks is Advanced Threat Protection. This feature is designed to enhance security by detecting and blocking potential threats, including phishing attempts, that may come through web traffic or emails.

Advanced Threat Protection utilizes a combination of machine learning, threat intelligence, and behavioral analysis to identify malicious URLs and websites that attempt to deceive users into providing sensitive information. By analyzing the reputation of websites in real-time, it can effectively block access to known phishing sites before users even have a chance to interact with them.

In contrast, while content filtering focuses on controlling access to certain categories of internet content and can help block access to malicious sites, it does not provide the same level of targeted detection and protection against evolving phishing threats. Data Loss Prevention primarily aims to safeguard sensitive data from being exfiltrated or compromised, and network performance optimization is more about enhancing the efficiency and speed of network services rather than addressing security threats. Therefore, Advanced Threat Protection stands out as the dedicated capability for safeguarding users against phishing attacks within the ZIA framework.
