What is a key component of the Protocol Report within Zscaler?

The Protocol Report within Zscaler provides a summary of protocol usage and performance. This report is integral for organizations seeking to gain insights into how various protocols are utilized in their network. By analyzing protocol usage, administrators can understand which protocols are generating the most traffic, how effectively they are performing, and where potential bottlenecks may exist. This information is crucial for optimizing network performance and ensuring that the right protocols are being supported, especially in a cloud-based security environment.

The focus of this report on summarizing usage and performance distinguishes it from other aspects of security monitoring, such as virus detections or user browsing patterns, which are typically covered in separate reports. Understanding protocol performance can lead to better decision-making regarding bandwidth allocation, security measures, and potential upgrades to infrastructure.
