Fortify Private Application Security to Stop Critical Threats
Ensure robust security against web and identity-based threats.
Analyze organizational security, reduce risk, and minimize operational disruption
The Problem
Private apps are vulnerable to web, API, and AD attacks
Misconfigurations, insecure designs, and unpatched components sharply increase enterprise risk. Organizations need to mitigate these risks—particularly web app and API risks as highlighted in the OWASP Top 10—before they turn into breaches.
At the same time, vulnerabilities in core network services like Kerberos, LDAP, and SMB are driving the need for advanced monitoring, enhanced encryption, and strict access controls. To defend against critical CVEs and zero-day attacks, organizations need to prioritize real-time threat detection and proactive security strategies.
Solution Overview
Zscaler AppProtection, an integral component of Zscaler Private Access™ (ZPA), guards against web and identity-based threats with comprehensive inline inspection of app traffic (Layer 7). This advanced solution strengthens security measures, enhances threat detection, and aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Block malicious traffic
Identify and block traffic aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities or changing application logic.
Guard against CVEs
Protect against the latest CVEs with timely signatures and virtual patching from Zscaler ThreatLabz.
Unify point solutions
Consolidate multiple solutions into one, reducing misconfiguration and incompatibility risks.
Align with MITRE ATT&CK
Evaluate your security posture and assess cyber risks based on known attacker behaviors.
Benefits
Improve security posture through simplicity
Get layered protection
Minimize the attack surface and inspect each web request to block malicious users.
Reduce risk
Stop web-based threats and CVEs with timely signatures and virtual patching.
Simplify compliance
Align with MITRE ATT&CK and get audit details as well as real-time threat detection.
Streamline policy
Eliminate misconfigurations and unify management through a single console.
Solution Details
Reduce threats with inline traffic inspection
Analyze every HTTP/S, Kerberos, LDAP, and SMB transaction between users and private apps, providing visibility into app traffic (Layer 7) and blocking malicious activity—impossible with traditional network security controls at Layer 4.
Detect and respond to the latest CVEs with virtual patching
Protect against the latest zero-day threats using predefined signatures from the Zscaler ThreatLabz security research team.
Detect and report suspicious browser-based activity
Identify high-risk users by examining unique fingerprints generated by browser activity and flagging users with anomalous access patterns.
Integrated for effortless deployment
Easily deploy and scale with centralized management from the ZPA console, with no new components to install in your environment.
Use Cases
Deliver safe access for users anywhere
Ensure robust security for private apps with a comprehensive approach, including OWASP Top 10 protection and reporting of suspicious browser-based activities. Aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, protect against third-party web threats such as browser session hijacking.
Understand domain and path access for all users of web applications and APIs. Monitor the logging details of every user accessing a private application. Detailed visibility into every user transaction and response code can help detect malicious activity.
Inspect and monitor all users accessing apps for web threats, including the OWASP Top 10 risks. Protect against Active Directory attacks such as kerberoasting, LDAP, and SMB enumeration while stopping malicious insiders. This is crucial when integrating networks and apps with different credentials and authentication systems.

FAQ
Web app security protects browser-based software applications from security issues and vulnerabilities that could compromise data, functions, or user privacy. Web app security solutions work to prevent cross-site scripting, SQL injection, denial-of-service (DoS), and more by supporting practices like secure coding, multi-factor authentication, encryption, and testing.
Kerberoasting is a cyberattack that targets the Kerberos authentication protocol in Windows. Attackers exploit Kerberos service tickets to obtain password hashes, enabling them to gain unauthorized access to privileged service accounts. It can be a highly stealthy way to escalate privileges—without proper security measures in place, any domain user can perform a kerberoasting attack without triggering alarms.
The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a globally accessible knowledge base of threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Security teams use it to assess vulnerabilities, improve detection and response strategies, and better defend against cyberthreats by aligning their efforts with known attacker behaviors.
