What is Zscaler's response to identifying malicious content?

Zscaler's approach to identifying malicious content involves triggering a quarantine action. This process is critical as it allows the organization to isolate the identified threat from the rest of the network to prevent any potential harm or data loss. Quarantine provides a controlled environment where security teams can analyze the threat further without the risk of it spreading or causing damage.

By quarantining potentially harmful content, Zscaler ensures that users can continue to operate safely while the threat is evaluated. This approach is preferred over simply deleting the content or moving it to a separate server, which might risk inadvertent loss of essential files or data. Additionally, flagging malicious content for review is a less immediate response compared to quarantining, which prioritizes immediate containment of the threat.

In summary, triggering a quarantine action aligns with best practices in cybersecurity, allowing for both immediate protective measures and thorough investigation of the malicious content.
