What does Cloud IPS in Zscaler's Cloud Firewall protect?

Cloud IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) in Zscaler's Cloud Firewall is designed to protect web and non-web applications. This feature focuses on identifying and blocking potential threats and vulnerabilities that may exploit these applications, ensuring that they remain secure from various forms of attacks, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting. By integrating with the firewall, Cloud IPS serves to analyze traffic for any malicious activity targeting these applications, providing an essential layer of security in the cloud environment.

In this context, while other options refer to critical security aspects, they do not directly align with the specific function of Cloud IPS. For instance, protecting cloud storage solutions, endpoints, or client devices involves different security mechanisms and features outside the scope of what Cloud IPS specifically addresses. Thus, the focus on web and non-web applications emphasizes the role of Intrusion Prevention within Zscaler’s security framework.
