Which types of content does Zscaler block?

Zscaler focuses on blocking specific types of content that are deemed high-risk or non-compliant to maintain security and ensure regulatory adherence. High-risk URL categories typically include content associated with malware, phishing, and other malicious activities that could compromise networks or data integrity. Non-compliant web traffic refers to any web usage that violates company policies or regulatory requirements, such as accessing prohibited sites or engaging in activities that could lead to data breaches.

The distinction in Zscaler's approach is important; it does not indiscriminately block all website traffic, which allows for legitimate business operations and user access to necessary resources while still maintaining strict security protocols. Blocking only certain categories ensures that users can work efficiently without unnecessary restrictions. This targeted approach helps organizations mitigate risks while supporting their digital transformation efforts.
