Case Study: CSM Bakery achieves VPN-free, AD-authenticated secure remote access with Zscaler Private Access

CSM Ingredients Redefines Remote Access with Zscaler Private Access

CSM Ingredients, a leading global supplier of bakery, pastry and industrial food ingredients headquartered in Atlanta with 39 factories across 100 countries, was struggling with control and management issues caused by a legacy VPN. The company needed a cloud-first network redesign to provide predictable, stable, and secure access for employees, vendors and contractors.

CSM implemented Zscaler Private Access as part of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange and moved to Active Directory authentication, ditching the VPN. The solution simplified access and reduced vendor risk, streamlined on- and offboarding through a single authentication dashboard, and cut reliance on hardware- and appliance-based security while improving overall security posture.
