BBIX and BBSakura to Support \u201cZscalerTM<\/sup>\u201d with Open Connectivity eXchange<\/h4>\r\n

Companies enable the use of \u201cZscalerTM<\/sup>\u201d with greater security and higher quality<\/p>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

BBIX, Inc. (\u201cBBIX\u201d), a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp. that operates an Internet Exchange (IX) business, and BBSakura Networks, Inc. (\u201cBBSakura\u201d), a network solutions provider and subsidiary of BBIX, added \u201cZscalerTM<\/sup>,\u201d provided by Zscaler,Inc., as a new destination connection for \u201cSaaS Connection\u201d of Open Connectivity eXchange (\u201cOCX\u201d), a cloud-based network service, on July 16, 2025. In conjunction with the first connection with security services, BBIX and BBSakura renamed \u201cSaaS Connection\u201d to \u201cXaaS Connection\u201d to provide not only SaaS but also new categories of services such as SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

\u201cZscalerTM<\/sup>\u201d is a cloud-based security service that provides a comprehensive, integrated platform enabling zero-trust security and network transformation for all users, workloads, IoT (Internet of Things) \/ OT (Operational Technology) and BtoB partners. It enables local governments and enterprises to enhance security, reduce costs, and improve the user experience.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

\u201cXaaS Connection\u201d provides a connection from the closed OCX network to XaaS (X as a Service) applications without going through the Internet. \u201cXaaS Connection\u201d thereby enables customers to use \u201cZscalerTM<\/sup>\u201d in a secure and high-quality communication environment.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n

BBIX and BBSakura will continue to expand their services to support customers, accelerate DX (Digital Transformation) and grow their businesses in the multi-cloud era.<\/p>\r\n
