Twingate vs. Zscaler Private Access

Zscaler was founded before Zero Trust principles were established. Zscaler's approach to network security is based on a vision that the internet is the new corporate network and the cloud is the new data center. The architectural design routes all traffic through proprietary nodes to protect the cloud network perimeter.

Twingate's identity- and device-centric defense posture creates a modern Zero Trust access model. Every request to a resource is verified and users benefit from high-performance peer-to-peer connections.

Faster deployment

Deploys in minutes with no changes to your existing network configuration.

Greater Security

Twingate doesn't decrypt or open network packets to view content data or routing information.

Superior UX & Performance

Keep users happy with low-latency connections and network resilience.
