Case Study: Cisalfa Sport strengthens its security posture with Zscaler

Cisalfa Sport Strengthens Its Security Posture by Fast-Tracking Zscaler Deployment in Less Than Three Months

Cisalfa Sport, a sports retailer with more than 160 stores and an online business, needed to modernize its IT architecture as it expanded into cloud platforms while reducing ransomware risk and replacing legacy VPNs that lacked visibility, segmentation, and centralized control. The company wanted a better way for employees, third-party partners, and contractors to securely access private applications, and its initial zero-trust-style VPN alternative failed, delaying the project by six months.

Zscaler implemented the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, including ZPA, and Cisalfa Sport completed the company-wide deployment in less than three months. Zscaler also onboarded users within two weeks, enabling faster and more secure app access without VPNs, reducing attack surface and supporting future rollout of Zscaler Internet Access for web and SaaS security.
