What happens in Zscaler Private Access after a device is registered?

After a device is registered in Zscaler Private Access, it leads to the generation of certificates and the enrollment of that device into the Zscaler ecosystem. This process is crucial because it enables secure, authenticated, and seamless access to applications and services without exposing the internal network directly to the internet.

The generation of certificates is a key security feature that verifies the device's identity and establishes a trusted connection. By enrolling the device, Zscaler ensures consistent application of security policies and enables secure access to authorized resources, thus maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the data being accessed.

This process not only enhances security by ensuring that only registered and authenticated devices can access specific applications but also simplifies the user experience as users can access applications without having to deal with traditional VPN challenges. In turn, this helps organizations to facilitate a zero-trust security model, where the focus is on verifying each device and its access rights, regardless of its location.
