Zscaler is updating the cloud application named Google Cloud Platform on July 6, 2024 and recommends that administrators review their ZIA policies that use cloud applications.
What is changing?
Zscaler is incorporating the following URLs into the Google Cloud Platform application. Consequently, all the URLs listed below will now be classified under Google Cloud Platform. Any existing policies associated with this application will henceforth be applicable to these URLs as well.
Who is impacted?
ZIA customers who use cloud applications as criteria within their policies.
When is the update scheduled?
Deployment is scheduled for July 6, 2024
What are my next steps?
Zscaler does not expect the cloud application changes to negatively impact customer security posture. However as a general security best practice, Zscaler recommends that administrators regularly review and update any policies as required.
After the changes are complete, Zscaler recommends that administrators review the following for accuracy:
- Cloud App Control Policy (under Policy > URL & Cloud App Control)
- Inline Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Policies (under Policy > Data Loss Prevention)
- SSL Inspection Policy (under Policy > SSL Inspection)
- Authentication Exemptions (under Administration > Advanced Settings)
- Kerberos Authentication Exemptions (under Administration > Advanced Settings)
- Bandwidth Classes (under Administration > Bandwidth Classes)
