Zscaler Client Connector

Zscaler Client Connector secures your Android device with enterprise-grade network protection, delivering consistent security across all apps and traffic—whether you're using corporate-owned or personal devices.

Mobile work brings flexibility but also complexity. Apps on your device generate the vast majority of traffic, yet traditional security tools struggle to monitor and protect app-based threats. This connector bridges that gap by routing all network activity through Zscaler's cloud security platform, inspecting traffic at the source before threats reach your device. The lightweight encrypted tunnel works silently in the background, requiring no manual setup of proxy settings, PAC files, or authentication cookies.

Enrollment takes one step. Simply authenticate using your organization's identity provider—Zscaler Client Connector supports multifactor authentication via SAML, so your IT team controls access without adding friction. Once active, the app applies security policies automatically to every connection, from web browsing to app-to-app communication. You gain visibility into traffic that traditional firewalls miss, and threats are blocked before they can propagate.

The connector uses VpnService to establish an encrypted tunnel between your endpoint and Zscaler's cloud infrastructure. This zero-touch architecture means IT administrators configure policies once in the cloud, and your device enforces them instantly—no local configuration files, no manual updates. Whether you're on Wi-Fi, mobile data, or switching between networks, protection stays consistent.

Zscaler Client Connector is designed for enterprise environments and requires an active subscription to Zscaler's Mobile Security service. Your IT organization will provide enrollment instructions and manage permissions from their admin console. The app requests device administrator permissions and uses special package-query permissions to apply security rules accurately across your installed apps.

Download Zscaler Client Connector to extend your organization's security posture to every device in your mobile workforce—protecting productivity without compromising speed or usability.
