Zscaler Remote Browser Access (BYO)

Securely access your company's applications from any device without VDI or VPN.

Overview BYOD Architecture (2)

What is Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)?

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a concept that allows users to securely access company systems using their own personal devices without the need of a company managed device.

Why companies adopt BYOD?

  • Lower costs: no extra hardware or OS licenses

  • Faster onboarding: ideal for consultants and suppliers

  • Simplified access: flexibility without compromising security

Traditionally, BYOD relied on complex VDI setups to meet compliance needs. Today, it's solved with a Zero Trust architecture (agile, scalable, and secure by design).

Why VDI doesn't work for modern BYOD?

In the past, companies used VDI environments to enable BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), but Virtual Desktop Infrastructure wasn’t built for today’s mobile and cloud-first environments.

Expensive to deploy and maintain (hardware, licensing)

Slow user experience due to virtualization overhead

Requires open ports, increasing the attack surface.

No built-in Zero Trust segmentation

Difficult to scale and centrally managed

Traffic backhauling causes latency

Relies on legacy VPNs, NATs, and SD-WAN

Demands skilled staff and constant patching

The modern approach to personal devices (BYOD) is based on an SSE (Security Service Edge) solution

Modern BYOD Architecture with Zscaler SSE-1
Provide secure access to internal applications from any location or unmanaged device
Easily integrate with your authentication system (IdP)
Precisely control who accesses what, from where, and how
Avoid complex backhauls - traffic goes directly to the public or private cloud
Eliminate costs associated with additional Windows or Microsoft licenses

BENEFITS

Benefits with Zscaler (Privilege) Remote Browser Access

Cost Reduction

Cost Reduction

You don`t need additional VDI, Microsoft or Windows licenses anymore. 

BYOD Icon

Simple BYOD

Exposing a application is as simple as you can imagine. Simply click "Expose" and bind a IdP-Group to it.

Build in Security

Build in Security

You don`t have to care for additional segmentation or security controls. All is build in.

Less Infrastructure

Less Infrastructure

You can use your exiting SSE environment. No additional Hardware or VMs needed.

Centralised Access Management

Centralised Access Management

You control the access for BYOD from the same admin-portal like for internal ZTNA Clients.

RBAC Based Access

RBAC Based Access

Enabling external users to applications doesn't require VDIs anymore. Simply add them to the corresponding access group.

Increased Performance

Increased Performance

Get the best possible performance by directly accessing the application instead of backhauling the traffic.
