AlcoaAlcoa Extends Zero Trust Exchange Across Cloud Security Review
Alcoa, a materials organization in the United States, uses Zero Trust Exchange from Zscaler to support cloud security review for cloud security engineers.
Materials teams at Alcoa treat Zscaler as the working layer for cloud security review.
“In the United States, cloud security engineers already knew where cloud misconfigurations went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“Zscaler delivers cloud-native zero trust networking so users connect to applications without a traditional VPN or castle-and-moat network.”

Story
Alcoa did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed cloud security review to move. In the United States, cloud security engineers already knew where cloud misconfigurations went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Zero Trust Exchange from Zscaler is now in that path. Zscaler delivers cloud-native zero trust networking so users connect to applications without a traditional VPN or castle-and-moat network. The company treats it as production tooling for cloud security review, which is why cloud security engineers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Alcoa can show how cloud misconfigurations is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run cloud security review on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
