ziggiz, a cybersecurity infrastructure company specializing in security analytics at scale, announces the availability of private endpoint integration for customers on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in beta. The feature enables organizations to establish private connections for security telemetry collection without exposing sensitive networks to internet egress, addressing a systemic issue in enterprise security architecture that has persisted since legacy vendors began requiring broad firewall rules for log collection.

The announcement responds to a pattern identified across enterprise deployments: organizations forced to choose between monitoring critical systems and maintaining proper network isolation. Security teams have routinely opened HTTPS and other protocols from sensitive internal networks, including payment systems, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environments, and Active Directory infrastructure, creating security exceptions they must justify during regulatory audits.

"This is not innovation. It is the application of well-understood solutions to improve customer security," said Ryan Faircloth, head of product. "No major vendor offers this today, but we believe it should be industry standard. Organizations should not have to compromise the isolation of their sensitive systems to achieve monitoring goals."

The Architecture Problem

Traditional security telemetry systems require customers to allow outbound internet connectivity from isolated networks to transmit logs to vendor platforms. This architectural decision transfers risk from vendor to customer, forcing security teams to create firewall exceptions that contradict their own security policies. When self-hosted SIEM vendors exited the market for the cloud, these exceptions became normalized industry practice.

The impact extends beyond technical risk. Security teams lose credibility when their own monitoring solutions violate network isolation policies they enforce elsewhere. Organizations with legal and regulatory obligations cannot opt out of monitoring, leaving them to continuously justify security exceptions that architectural review processes flag as unacceptable.

"When your rules always have exceptions, are they really rules?" Ryan Faircloth noted. "If the security system itself breaks policy, enforcement becomes significantly harder across other systems."

Private Endpoint Implementation

ziggiz's private endpoint integration supports both agent-based and agentless security telemetry collection using HTTP(S) protocols. The feature allows customers to establish connectivity within their cloud provider's private network fabric, eliminating the need for broad firewall rules or internet egress from sensitive environments.

The company built its infrastructure from the ground up to align with modern cloud-native architecture requirements, defining a security perimeter closer to customer systems. This architectural approach reduces friction in secure deployment while maintaining the isolation that legacy vendor platforms cannot provide due to infrastructure constraints.

Democratizing Security Capabilities

Historically, proper network segmentation for security telemetry required complex middleware infrastructure accessible only to organizations with substantial budgets. ziggiz's approach makes robust isolation accessible to organizations of all sizes, eliminating what Ryan describes as the "firewall tax" that has prevented smaller teams from implementing security best practices.

The feature addresses the operational reality facing SOC teams, security architects, and investigation units who manage firewall rules they know compromise their security posture. With private endpoints, these teams can maintain both visibility and isolation without architectural compromises.

Industry Impact

Ryan positions the capability as raising the baseline for security telemetry infrastructure rather than competitive differentiation. "Our example raises the bar," he said.

The private endpoint integration is available now in beta for ziggiz customers operating on Azure and AWS cloud platforms.
