We are proud to announce the launch of the Zscaler Deployment Advisor GPT—a specialized AI resource designed to guide organizations through every phase of their Zscaler deployment journey with confidence, clarity, and speed.
At SecureDynamics, we are proud to be Zscaler’s only partner in North America authorized for Delivery, Education, and Managed Services. Our team of elite Zero Trust Success Managers (ZTSMs) represents the zenith of professional services deployments.
We built this GPT because we want to share that expertise broadly—so that Zscaler customers and partners everywhere can benefit from the same knowledge, frameworks, and leading practices that drive the most successful enterprise rollouts.
One of the most common frustrations we hear from customers is the “gap between meetings” problem. Too often, after hanging up with a deployment engineer, customers feel like their best option is to wait until the next scheduled session to get answers. That delay slows down momentum, creates frustration, and can stall a deployment.
This GPT fixes that. It provides on-demand answers, context, and guidance—so you can keep moving forward confidently without waiting for the next meeting.
In addition to the great public Zscaler content, our team regularly augments that knowledge with our own delivery services best practices. If there’s a gap, we fix it. That means you’ll always have access to a complete, battle-tested approach—not just theory.
It is all part of our unique ZTSM approach, which replaces the outdated deployment engineer model with a higher-value, lifecycle-driven methodology. Learn more here: Why We Retired the Deployment Engineer.
This GPT is structured to walk you through every deployment phase—from kickoff to closeout:
Kickoff: Learn what to do when your tenant activation email arrives and how to align stakeholders.
Phase 1 (Planning & Design): Review existing configurations, run design workshops, and build High- and Low-Level Design Documents (HLD/LLD).
Phase 2 (Initial Configuration): Get guidance on traffic forwarding, policy structures, pilot testing (1 site, 10 users), and rollout planning.
Phase 3 (Traffic Rollout): Execute a full production rollout while ensuring operational excellence through the Zscaler Mission Critical Audit.
Closeout: Transition smoothly with a project summary and the first scheduled quarterly health check.
Additionally, it provides best-practice design considerations on critical areas such as TLS/SSL inspection, DNS security, user provisioning and authentication, client connector deployment, and Zero Trust segmentation.
The Zscaler Deployment Advisor GPT is ideal for:
IT project managers driving Zscaler rollouts
Security architects designing Zero Trust architectures
Network and endpoint administrators configuring Zscaler Client Connector, App Connectors, and traffic forwarding
Support and operations teams managing ZIA, ZPA, and ZDX post-deployment
| Customer Pain Point | How Zscaler Deployment Advisor GPT Fixes It |
|---|---|
| Waiting between meetings for answers | Provides on-demand, 24/7 guidance so you can move forward without waiting for the next session. |
| Overwhelmed by complex documentation | Summarizes public Zscaler content and augments it with delivery services best practices from SecureDynamics. |
| Not sure where to start | Follows a structured deployment methodology (Kickoff → Design → Configuration → Rollout → Closeout). |
| Fear of misconfigurations | Offers step-by-step best practice recommendations for traffic forwarding, authentication, Client Connector, ZPA/ZIA policies, and more. |
| Limited access to experts | Built by SecureDynamics’ ZTSMs, who represent the zenith of Zscaler deployment expertise, ensuring customers get proven answers. |
| Gaps in official content | If there’s a gap, we fix it—filling in missing details with real-world deployment knowledge. |
This GPT can almost surely help you complete a full Zscaler deployment without outside help. However, organizations that adopt the SecureDynamics ZTSM (Zero Trust Success Manager) approach significantly increase their chances of success and long-term adoption.
