The Women’s Tennis Association will enlist the cloud protection firm Zscaler and the company’s Zero Trust Exchange platform to secure the tennis tour’s userbase, data and infrastructure.
The WTA Tour — comprised of roughly 1,600 players and over 50 events across six continents — was looking for safer Internet experience for its players, staff, media and global audience. According to Paul Sheth, the head of information security at the WTA, the well-established Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange enables the tour to "move away from third party VPN solutions, thus minimizing the attack surface and eliminating additional point product purchases while also reducing operational overhead."
The collaboration with Zscaler accelerates the tour’s digital transformation initiatives. It gives WTA staff and authorized entities secure and fast SaaS access in private and public clouds, as well as Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) encrypted traffic and critical threat security. Zscalar should also enhance the digital capabilities of the tour’s large hybrid workforce and protect its work-from-anywhere business model.
