With Zscaler, CNA's IT leaders can confidently tell their CFO a rare success story: “We improved the user experience. Security’s gotten better. Here’s some money back.” CNA’s highly credentialed data scientists operate wherever the mission demands—from military bases and battleships to active combat locations. To deliver the critical, boots-on-the-ground insights that government leaders rely on for high-stakes decisions, this distributed workforce requires seamless and secure connectivity. However, relying on costly, high-latency VPNs and legacy architecture created a poor user experience and massive operational overhead. Recognizing that security is everything when maintaining trust with the US Navy and federal sponsors, Riz Jan, VP and Chief Information Officer, and Gregor Goodman, Chief AI Officer, knew they needed a modern approach. By replacing legacy infrastructure with zero trust access, CNA eliminated their VPN and consolidated three firewall vendors into one. This transformation saved the organization multi-six figures annually in support, infrastructure, and manpower costs. Rather than IT being viewed as a financial "black hole," the team reinvested those funds into next-gen technology to further improve the user experience and returned capital directly to the research side of the house.
