The process involves acquiring a digital file that establishes trust between a user’s system and the Zscaler security platform. This file confirms the authenticity of Zscaler’s services, enabling secure communication and preventing potential security breaches. For instance, when accessing websites through Zscaler’s cloud security, the presence of this file allows the browser to verify that the connection is indeed with Zscaler and not a malicious impersonator.
The primary importance of obtaining this file lies in ensuring uninterrupted and secure access to internet resources protected by Zscaler. Its presence eliminates security warnings or connection errors that may arise from untrusted certificates. Historically, organizations have relied on manually distributing and installing these files across all devices to maintain a consistent security posture, particularly vital in environments with sensitive data and stringent compliance requirements. This assures the security infrastructure functions as intended, shielding against potential threats.
