Business Description

Overview We are the cybersecurity platform for the AI era. We empower our customers with the cybersecurity solutions necessary to protect their enterprises, drive growth and outpace competitors where success depends on securely adopting the technologies required to operate and compete effectively in an AI world. We were founded in 2007, based on a vision that, with the broad adoption of SaaS applications, the internet would become the new corporate network, the cloud would become the new data center and perimeter-based security would fail to protect users, applications and data. As AI redefines how businesses operate, and powerful AI-enabled cyberthreats proliferate, enterprises must now adopt a zero trust approach to security. We deliver a comprehensive, cloud-native zero trust platform that minimizes the attack surface of an enterprise and eliminates lateral threat movement, enabling security at the scale and speed of AI. As a result, we believe we are the only cybersecurity platform capable of protecting enterprises in the most complex and consequential threat landscape in history. The traditional model of enterprise security built around hub-and-spoke networks, firewalls and virtual private networks, or VPNs, was designed to protect a fixed perimeter. With rapid and increasing cloud adoption, workforce mobility and the emergence of an autonomous agentic workforce, traditional perimeter security fails to completely secure the modern enterprise, is prohibitively expensive and delivers poor user experience. These outdated yet widely-deployed tools are preventing enterprises from safely embracing the digital transformation that is necessary to compete today. Enterprises have moved applications from the data center to the cloud, workforce mobility has dissolved the office perimeter and enterprises must securely access applications and data, wherever they are hosted, from any device, anywhere in the world. The emergence and rapid adoption of AI have accelerated this transformation, with AI agents accessing applications, AI models and data at machine speed and creating new governance and data security challenges that legacy tools were not built to address. Our Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange TM security platform is a cloud-native security solution that is purpose-built to securely connect users, devices, workloads and AI agents to applications, AI models and data based on identity and business policy, rather than network location. Our platform was designed from day one on the principles of never trust and always verify. This approach reflects our consistent, pervasive application of zero trust principles, not just at the network layer, but across every transaction on our platform, based on defined permissions and business policies. Firewalls and VPNs force enterprises to trust traffic, exposing them to unnecessary risk, which is proliferating in the hyper-velocity of our AI world. Frontier AI models are discovering vulnerabilities faster and compressing the time from discovery to exploitation. Securing the AI transformation requires the same zero trust architectural principles that have guided our platform since inception, including inline inspection at scale, hiding applications from the internet and eliminating lateral threat movement. Our Zero Trust Exchange represents a fundamentally different architectural design and approach to networking and security that allows companies to securely accelerate their digital transformation and AI initiatives. As threat actors increasingly leverage AI to develop faster, autonomous and more sophisticated attacks, we harness AI to defend against evolving threats. In addition to protecting companies from the threats created by agentic AI, we're also enabling organizations to safely deploy AI agents and models. Zscaler continuously applies AI and ML to improve and train the Zero Trust Exchange, allowing our platform to detect threats with greater precision, respond to incidents more quickly, adapt to new attack vectors and enable our customers to safely deploy AI agents and models. We believe that our ability to embed AI-driven intelligence throughout our zero trust architecture positions us to deliver the adaptive, proactive and continuously 3 Table of Contents improving security that the modern threat landscape demands. Zero trust integrated with AI is the new foundation for enterprise security architectures, and we are pioneering this convergence.…
