The market for cloud-based secure web gateway (SWG) services continues to grow more quickly than the market for appliance-based SWGs.
“We’re proud of our position in the 2018 report and grateful to our customers who share our vision and have helped make Zscaler a recognized leader and innovator in cloud-delivered security.”
Jay Chaudhry, Founder and CEO of ZscalerThe Zscaler Cloud Security Platform delivers the complete security stack as a cloud service, eliminating the cost and complexity of traditional secure web gateway appliances. By moving security to a globally distributed cloud, Zscaler brings the internet and web gateway closer to the user for a faster experience—and organizations can easily scale protection to all mobile users or offices via local internet breakouts.
As a purpose-built security cloud, Zscaler processes about 60 billion transactions and blocks over 100 million threats per day, including botnets, malware callbacks, and zero-days. To protect our customers against the onslaught of these threats, we perform 120,000 unique security updates each day.
What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant?
Gartner Magic Quadrant is a culmination of research in a specific market, giving you a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the market’s competitors. By applying a graphical treatment and a uniform set of evaluation criteria, a Magic Quadrant helps you quickly ascertain how well technology providers are executing their stated visions and how well they are performing against Gartner’s market view.
What determines a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways?
Leaders are high-momentum vendors (based on sales and mind share growth) with established track records in SWGs, as well as vision and business investments indicating that they are well positioned for the future. In addition to offering strong SWG products and/or services, Leaders have built effective sales and distribution channels for their entire product portfolios. Leaders that offer on-premises and cloud services have recognized the strategic importance of a two-pronged sales and distribution channel. They have established a traditional value-added reseller (VAR) channel to sell on-premises appliances. They have also developed partnerships with ISPs and carriers to sell cloud services, often as an add-on to bandwidth contracts.
