Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) integration with MaaS360

MaaS360 has partnered with Zscaler to enhance phishing detection and enforcement capabilities on mobile devices.

Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) integration benefits

The Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) integration with MaaS360 provides the following benefits to users:
  • Enhanced phishing detection

    MaaS360 can warn users ahead of time that they have received malicious links in an SMS text or in an email message. With Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), users can block malicious links at the time of access. Phishing detection and enforcement also applies to all apps that are installed on a device.

  • Unified dashboard that displays threat events that occur on a device

    MaaS360 administrators can view threat detections that occur across both Zscaler and MaaS360 in a common dashboard. All phishing events are labeled with the Malicious URLs Accessed risk name. Administrators can access each risk incident to view the devices and users that are affected by the phishing event.

  • Aggregated device risk score

    When a risk score is computed for a device, the risk score now includes the new Malicious URLs Accessed risk type. The device risk score is not only based on events that are generated from MaaS360, but also includes threat detections from Zscaler. By correlating data from multiple systems, this computed risk score is a more accurate representation of device security posture. This value is a significant indicator to identify risky devices and apply stricter policies.

  • Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) device context for all threat events that originate from mobile devices

    Most XDR platforms are limited to what actions can be taken on mobile devices since they lack the information that is needed to uniquely identify the device. Due to privacy restrictions, most OS vendors prevent applications from accessing device information that is needed to accurately identify a device.

    By enabling the Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) integration with MaaS360, all Zscaler threat events include additional information that is needed to uniquely identify a device. These events also provide additional information that accurately represents device security posture such as device risk score and user risk score. Administrators can use this information to automate or manually take actions that improve the security posture of the device.
