Modernize Privileged Access with Zero Trust
Enable secure, clientless, least-privileged access to enterprise IT and OT systems while replacing VPNs, improving operational efficiencies, and reducing cyber risk.
Redefine privileged access for employees, contractors, and third parties
Secure access to IT and OT for all internal and external users. Easily enforce granular zero trust policies, simplify credential management, and adhere to compliance standards.
Eliminate legacy VPNs, agents, and VDI farms
Drastically reduce cyber risk with zero trust
Improve uptime and plant safety
The Problem
Legacy PAM exposes you to ransomware, governance gaps, and third-party risk
VPNs and traditional PAM solutions grant broad network access, often connecting untrusted administrator and third-party devices to critical IT/OT systems. This “all or nothing” model undermines least-privileged access and creates opportunities for ransomware attacks, credential abuse, and lateral movement.
To reduce third-party risk and improve productivity, your organization needs a solution that provides precise, task-based access without implicit trust.
Product Details
Zscaler Privileged Remote Access delivers zero trust remote privileged access management (RPAM), enabling secure access to systems and devices anywhere.
Zero trust RPAM provides clientless browser-based access with complete session monitoring, governance controls, sandboxed file transfers, and centralized access across cloud, on-premises, and OT environments.
- Eliminate the risk of malware infections from unmanaged endpoints
- Protect system uptime, data integrity, and operational safety
- Avoid the frustration of VPNs and endpoint agents
Clientless Browser-Based Access
Enable secure RDP/SSH/VNC access, directly through any browser, with no need for endpoint agents.
Sandboxed File Transfers
Protect critical IT-OT systems against zero-day threats and APTs with Zscaler Cloud Sandbox.
Audit and Governance Controls
Strengthen privileged access governance with detailed session audits and recording.
Credential Vault and Mapping
Store and manage credentials securely in a cloud vault with tailored credential policies.
Time-Bound and Just-in-Time Access
Grant temporary role-based access during maintenance windows or for critical needs.
Clipboard Controls
Restrict copy and paste actions to protect sensitive data in line with zero trust policies.
Privileged Desktop
Allow access to a secure, isolated, and automatically resetting environment that eliminates persistence risks.

FAQ
Zscaler PRA brokers application-specific connections, preventing lateral movement, reducing the attack surface, and eliminating the need for VPNs. Unlike traditional PAM that requires VPNs or bastion hosts, Zscaler PRA employs zero trust network access to keep assets hidden until explicit access is granted. As a cloud-based solution designed for hybrid environments, Zscaler PRA is also easier to deploy than legacy PAM. Its clientless, frictionless access and just-in-time session brokering allow authorized third parties and contractors access while ensuring complete audit and session recording capabilities.
Zscaler PRA integrates with identity providers such as Okta and Microsoft Azure AD, using SAML/OIDC and SCIM for authentication and user management. The identity provider handles authentication, enabling passwordless and single sign-on workflows with tailored conditional access controls based on user attributes. This integration enforces identity-centric security, allowing for automatic deprovisioning and adaptable policy management as user statuses or groups change.
Zscaler PRA supports a wide variety of compliance requirements, such as ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC 2, FedRAMP, and GovRAMP. It also aligns with the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, making it ideal for regulated and governmental environments. The platform includes features such as granular session auditing and recording, vaulting, and separation of duties, all of which help meet essential compliance controls in critical infrastructure, OT, and IT.
Zscaler PRA implements zero trust controls for OT networks, making OT and industrial internet of things (IIoT) assets invisible to threats. This is achieved by eliminating open ports and removing the need for direct network connectivity between users and OT assets. The solution offers granular, role-based access, session monitoring, tamper-proof audit logs, and secure credential injection for RDP, SSH, and VNC. Additionally, it ensures deep isolation between IT and OT segments.
