Might also want to check out Twingate. As you said, all these companies started from CASB or SWG, but I think the winning architecture is much more like Twingate’s private proxy architecture where routing & security policies are applied locally in the endpoint (without needing to first hit a PoP). Sort of neutralizes the network advantages of folks like ZS, Cloudflare, etc.
