SUNNYVALE, California, June 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- European manufacturing company benefits from powerful Web 2.0 security
controls and saves MPLS bandwidth

Zscaler, Inc., the market leader in cloud-delivered multi-tenant Security
as a Service (SaaS), today announced that API Group -- a manufacturer of
specialized packaging materials with businesses located in the United
Kingdom, Continental Europe, USA and Asia-Pacific -- has selected it for
powerful Web 2.0 security protection. Zscaler will enforce Internet business
policies, manage employee Web usage, and protect API Group globally against
online threats and risk.

Before choosing Zscaler's cloud-based approach, API Group's IT department
was backhauling Internet traffic from all international offices to two
central gateways in the UK and US, where URL and anti-virus filtering was
handled using a traditional on-premise Web proxy-based solution. The company
had recently purchased a new Multi Packet Label Switching (MPLS) network and
the backhauling of Internet traffic was wasting valuable bandwidth.

Global Infrastructure Manager of API Group, Patrick Kittle, said:
"Reducing the Internet traffic running across our MPLS network was paramount
for us, and traditional on-premise solutions simply could not do this without
introducing additional hardware or software. Beyond that, Zscaler was much
more in tune with the advanced threats we're starting to see on the
Internet-even providing scanning of SSL traffic."

He continued: "Before Zscaler, we were spending time and money managing
an on-premise proxy server with a URL filter plug-in and an antivirus
plug-in. All three of these controls were bypassed by our remote workers. We
feel like Zscaler has doubled our Web security and management capabilities
while halving the cost and complexity."

The Zscaler security service protects API Group against a range of
advanced security threats, such as malicious active code, botnets, cookie
theft and phishing attacks. The service also enforces granular user-based
policies for Web 2.0 applications, provides URL filtering (including Dynamic
Content Classification) and allows management of Internet bandwidth. The
service additionally gives API Group full visibility of their security
posture through a visual dashboard and powerful, real-time consolidated
logging and reporting. Zscaler's distributed cloud nodes enable mobile users
to enjoy the same protection as office-based users without experiencing
increased latency. And for API Group, as with other customers, Zscaler means
no additional hardware or software is needed at the gateway; they can simply
forward Internet-bound traffic to the Zscaler cloud directly from existing
workstations or gateways within their network.

"With the rise of MPLS networks, Zscaler is well-positioned to complement
the new architecture these deployments create," said Jay Chaudhry, CEO of
Zscaler. "We are pleased to add API Group to our growing customer base, and
offer the industry such a rich portfolio of integrated security capabilities
at an attractive price and low total cost of ownership (TCO)."
