| Feature | Zscaler's Approach | CrowdStrike's Complementary Role |
|---|---|---|
| Secure Web Gateway (SWG) | Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) is core to their offering; it is a market-leading SWG. It inspects all web traffic, blocking malicious content and enforcing corporate policies, securing web access. | CrowdStrike's Falcon platform detects and responds to threats that may bypass network controls. It can identify malware and other threats on the endpoint itself, providing an essential final layer of defence against web-based attacks missed by an SWG. |
| Threat Intelligence & Visibility | Zscaler's threat intelligence is deeply focused on web and internet traffic, providing detailed analytics on user behaviour and threats detected within its cloud. | CrowdStrike provides the critical endpoint context. By correlating network data from Zscaler or Cloudflare with its own rich endpoint telemetry, you can gain a full, end-to-end view of a security incident, identifying the root cause and the full scope of an attack. |
| Platform and Architecture | Zscaler is built as a security-first cloud platform. Its services are designed for market leading deep-level traffic inspection. | CrowdStrike's sensor and cloud-native architecture integrate seamlessly with either platform, ensuring minimal friction and high performance. It provides the crucial "last metre" of security, securing the device regardless of which network platform it is connecting through. |
