What is the primary focus of Zscaler's malware protection configuration?

The primary focus of Zscaler's malware protection configuration is to block spyware, adware, and viruses. This aspect is fundamental to Zscaler's mission to secure corporate networks by providing robust protection against various types of malware that can threaten sensitive data and system integrity. By effectively blocking these malicious entities, Zscaler ensures that endpoints remain secure and helps organizations mitigate the risks associated with malware infections.

In aligning with this focus, Zscaler's architecture leverages cloud-based security models that inspect and filter web traffic in real-time, identifying and neutralizing threats before they can cause harm. This proactive approach to malware protection is critical in today’s environment, where cyber threats are pervasive and constantly evolving.

Enhancing software performance, blocking unauthorized network access, or improving user productivity, while important, are not the primary functions of Zscaler's malware protection configuration. Instead, those aspects might be secondary benefits that arise from implementing effective malware protection but do not reflect the core objective of this specific configuration.
