I am not using AWS Backup anymore since we spoke almost two years ago. I have a backup solution managed by another team, and there's a discussion about AWS for backup. I am responsible for the IT security part only. I do not work with popular vendors such as Palo Alto or Fortinet, as my primary domain is Check Point, and it's all about security. I use Check Point for this purpose. I do not work with the product ZoneAlarm. We use only a specific firewall from Check Point and utilize only the firewall. We are not using Check Point CloudGuard Web Application Firewall; we are using a normal firewall, the Firewall as a gateway. The name of the product is Check Point Firewall Gateway. I am not using a web gateway. We do not use products such as Harmony or Harmony Browse. I am using a VPN from Cisco for endpoint protection. I am not using the cloud firewall from Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). I am not working with Zscaler B2B or ZTNA as a service. From a troubleshooting perspective, we face an issue with iPhones affecting about 10% of users. Even when we provide logs, they are not able to figure out what exactly is happening. It's not possible for users to collect logs each time, and this is a peculiar problem happening with 10 to 15 users. The operational flexibility is very effective; there are no problems, and I did not have any issues with that. The solution is affordable, but there are other parts that could add much more information, which may not be useful for us at the moment, making it a bit expensive. There is also a China-specific solution, which is really expensive. I agree to share my details with the Zscaler vendor. I do not want to be a reference for Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 9.

It operates without VPN, effectively addressing security challenges and enhancing productivity by connecting users directly to applications.ZPA is designed for secure access, eliminating the need for network access with its zero-trust model, which restricts users to applications they are authorized to access. By moving away from VPN dependencies, businesses can ensure improved security with less...
