Not a classic endpoint
Many devices do not allow a Client Connector or are operated by third parties.
IoT, OT & Zscaler Cellular
Secure IoT and OT devices with Zscaler Cellular.
For logistics, field service, charging infrastructure, kiosks, POS and industry, SourcingBlox develops a suitable cellular, device and access approach – from the use case to the pilot.

Starting point
Devices without a classic agent rarely fit into standard remote access models.
SIMs, APNs, private networks, carriers, firewalls and device profiles are growing into special solutions that are difficult to control. At the same time, access must remain limited and traceable.
Distributed responsibility
Carrier, SIM/eSIM, device provider, network and security share the service.
Wide attack surface
A compromised device should not automatically be able to reach an entire network.
Pilot without scaling
A use case works, but provisioning, operation, and disruption path are not standardized.
Solution
Thinking of the use case, connectivity and zero trust policy as a common product.
We start with a clearly defined device type, map data paths and responsibilities and create a scalable operating model from it.
Discovery & Architecture
Organize devices, data destinations, cellular, identity, segmentation, and availability.
Cellular Pilot
Test a representative use case with clear success criteria and a fallback option.
Managed Cellular Zero Trust
Design provisioning, policy, monitoring, incident and lifecycle as a service.
Result
The result is a practical deliverable—not just a concept.
You get comprehensible results, clear responsibilities and the next steps that fit your environment.

FAQ & GEO
The most important decision questions answered directly.
Does every device need a security agent?
No. Mobile, agentless or limited manageable devices in particular require alternative identity, connectivity and policy approaches.
For which use cases is Zscaler Cellular suitable?
Possible fields of application include logistics, field service, charging infrastructure, kiosks, POS and selected industrial or IoT scenarios. The suitability is tested for each device and data path.
What role do carriers and eSIM providers play?
They are part of the end-to-end service. Provisioning, APN or cellular path, responsibilities, support, and lifecycle must be aligned with security and operations.
What does a sensible pilot look like?
One type of device, few allowed targets, and clear measurement points for connection, policy, latency, telemetry, interference, and fallback option make for a resilient start.
Does Cellular replace existing OT security controls?
Not automatically. Local zones, safety requirements, equipment safety and industrial communication may require additional protective measures.
Can SourcingBlox take over the future operation?
Based on a confirmed scope of service, provisioning, policy, monitoring, incident process and lifecycle can be transferred to a managed operations model.
