# Enhancing Zero Trust Network Access with Zscaler and CrowdStrike

[ Ozan Ogur ](https://rheintec.io/en/it-security-blog/author/ozan-ogur)  - Feb 19, 2025 11:03:56 AM

In this blog post, we’ll explain how CrowdStrike and Zscaler work together to enhance security dynamically when accessing your most critical applications. 

## Why is Zero Trust Network Access important today?

In today's digital world, the traditional perimeter-based security model is no longer sufficient. The rise of cloud computing, remote work, and sophisticated cyber threats demands a more robust approach to protecting sensitive data and applications. This is where the Zero Trust model comes into play.

Zero Trust is a security concept that assumes no user or device, whether inside or outside the network, can be trusted by default (Never trust, always verify.). Instead, every access request must be verified, authenticated, and authorized before granting access. This approach significantly reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, making it a critical component of modern IT security strategies. 

Remember, Zero Trust isn’t just a product—it’s a way of thinking. Shifting to that mindset means using integrated, well-designed solutions.

## Overview of Zscaler and CrowdStrike

Zscaler and CrowdStrike are two leading cybersecurity solutions that offer comprehensive protection for modern enterprises. Zscaler, a cloud-native security platform, provides secure internet access and private application access through its Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) services. These services ensure fast, secure connections between users and applications, regardless of device, location, or network.

CrowdStrike, on the other hand, is renowned for its cloud-native endpoint protection platform, CrowdStrike Falcon. It leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver real-time protection and visibility across the enterprise, preventing attacks on endpoints and workloads both on and off the network. The platform's Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA) feature provides real-time security posture assessments, ensuring that only compliant endpoints gain access to sensitive data and corporate assets.

## Seamless Integration: Zscaler and CrowdStrike 

The integration of Zscaler and CrowdStrike represents a significant leap forward in securing professional service firms. By combining the strengths of both platforms, organizations can achieve a seamless, end-to-end security solution that enhances their Zero Trust network access capabilities.

Through API-based integrations, Zscaler and CrowdStrike enable dynamic evaluation of device security postures and real-time threat intelligence sharing. This ensures that only devices with a strong security posture, as determined by CrowdStrike's ZTA scores, are granted access to applications protected by Zscaler's ZIA and ZPA services.

## Dynamic Evaluation with CrowdStrike Posture Profiles

One of the key benefit of integrating Zscaler with CrowdStrike is the ability to leverage CrowdStrike's posture profiles for dynamic evaluation. CrowdStrike calculates a ZTA security score for each endpoint, which Zscaler uses to enforce conditional access policies.

CrowdStrike calculates a ZTA security score from 1 to 100 for each host. A higher score indicates a better security posture for the host. 

In the example shown below, the trust score has been set to 75 to indicate "High Trust Clients" and then this defined profile can be used in the Zero Trust access policies.

![](https://rheintec.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-3.png?width=865&height=218&name=image-png-3.png)

For example, ZPA can reference CrowdStrike's ZTA scores to allow only compliant endpoints to access specific applications. This integration ensures that endpoints must meet a minimum security threshold before being granted access, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches.

## Enhanced Threat Intelligence and Quick Actions Across Platforms

The integration of Zscaler and CrowdStrike also facilitates enhanced threat intelligence sharing and quick actions across platforms. By correlating endpoint data from CrowdStrike with network data from Zscaler, organizations gain a comprehensive view of their security posture.

By expanding Zero Trust beyond authentication and including device security, CrowdStrike ZTA helps organizations maintain a holistic cybersecurity approach that protects their data and users from the sophisticated tactics of cyber adversaries.
