Your Zscaler deployment has now entered Phase 3 – Traffic Rollout, where enablement is expanded and production users and traffic are brought onto the platform in a controlled, phased rollout.
Phase 3 builds on the planning, configuration, and pilot validation completed earlier. The goal of this phase is to safely scale usage, validate real-world behavior, and refine configuration as needed before moving toward final close-out.
Best regards, TBD |TBD
What Happens During Phase 3
During the Deployment phase, SecureDynamics focuses on:
Phased User Enablement
Expanding beyond pilot users to additional user groups in planned increments, aligned with your preferred sequencing and change windows.
Production Traffic Validation (ZIA, if in scope)
Enabling and validating production internet and SaaS traffic through Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), confirming policy behavior, inspection outcomes, and overall user experience.
Private Application Rollout (ZPA, if in scope)
Expanding Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) to additional applications and user groups, validating application access and user journeys as coverage increases.
Operational Monitoring and Tuning
Reviewing observed behavior and feedback, then applying targeted updates—such as policy adjustments, bypass refinement where appropriate, or forwarding/profile changes—to maintain stability.
What to Expect During This Phase
As rollout progresses, it is normal to see:
Increased user questions or feedback as new groups are enabled
Application edge cases that require fine-tuning
Short validation cycles between rollout steps
This is expected during controlled deployment and is why access is expanded in stages rather than all at once.
How You Can Help Keep Rollout Moving
To support a smooth Phase 3 rollout, we may request:
Confirmation of the next user groups to enable and preferred timing
Coordination around change windows and internal communications
Specific examples of any issues observed (user, time, application/URL, error message or screenshot) to speed diagnosis.
