Zscaler Client Connector Deployment via Microsoft Intune for Windows Devices

Introduction

As organizations adopt hybrid and remote work models, ensuring consistent security for users wherever they are has become critical. Zscaler Client Connector (formerly Zscaler App) provides secure, always-on connectivity to the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, protecting users from threats and ensuring policy enforcement without requiring them to be connected to a corporate network.

Deploying the Zscaler Client Connector via Microsoft Intune streamlines installation, policy application, and updates across your environment, eliminating manual setup and reducing administrative overhead.
