Story
Inside Build-A-Bear, cloud security review used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. Cloud security engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Build-A-Bear uses Zero Trust Exchange from Zscaler as the working layer for cloud misconfigurations. Zscaler delivers cloud-native zero trust networking so users connect to applications without a traditional VPN or castle-and-moat network. The practical change is simple: cloud security review has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Build-A-Bear gets from Zscaler is a durable place to run cloud security review and a way for cloud security engineers to see the same cloud misconfigurations at the same time.
