HDFC Selects Zscaler For Web Security

Home mortgage player HDFC is adopting Zscaler’s security-as-a-service to secure Web traffic for corporate headquarters, branch locations and mobile workers worldwide. The move away from appliance-based and point products provides HDFC with more powerful security and comprehensive reporting at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

“Zscaler enables HDFC to protect its IT infrastructure against newer and dangerous threats arising from botnets, Web 2.0 applications and malicious active content, in addition to traditional anti-virus,” said Arivazhagan, senior general manager of IT, HDFC. “Advanced security technology, mobile user protection, and the ease of administration by not having to deploy and manage appliances were among the most compelling reasons we selected Zscaler.”

HDFC has an established network of branch offices in multiple locations across India, and continues to expand its presence worldwide. Before selecting Zscaler, HDFC had earlier deployed appliance-based solutions at its Internet gateway. Zscaler service is providing rich functionality and consolidated reporting across all locations at an attractive RoI. Zscaler service also covers mobile users and offices connected via Internet VPN with no additional hardware or software, while providing them with complete Web protection.
