Case Study: California Dairies achieves secure, cloud-based privileged remote access with Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange

California Dairies Enables Privileged Remote Access with the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange

California Dairies, a Visalia‑based cooperative founded in 1999 and owned by nearly 300 dairy families operating 400 farms and shipping to 50 countries, needed to move its operations from on‑premises systems to the cloud to improve accessibility, flexibility, and security—especially across its operational technology (OT) environments.

By deploying the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange (including ZIA and ZPA) for privileged remote access, the company moved to a primarily cloud‑based posture, tightened access control, eliminated reliance on perimeter hardware, and reduced manual IT/OT configurations—delivering greater flexibility, security, and operational efficiency.
