Zscaler has significantly expanded its Zero Trust SASE platform with the introduction of the ZAgent Framework and a series of new capabilities designed to secure every communication-from browsers and unmanaged devices to cloud workloads-through a single cloud-native architecture. The announcement addresses the growing challenges enterprises face as work increasingly extends across distributed environments, supply chains, and AI-powered threat landscapes where traditional firewall- and VPN-based security models are proving inadequate. Leveraging the scale of the world’s largest inline security cloud, which now protects more than 750 billion daily transactions, Zscaler combines real-time intelligence, AI-driven insights, and Zero Trust principles to deliver stronger security and simplified operations. The new ZAgent Framework introduces agentic AI capabilities that automate critical security functions such as root cause analysis, drift detection, and policy validation, reducing operational complexity and enabling autonomous management at scale.

“Legacy SASE was built in the post-pandemic rush, based on a firewall and VPN model for a network perimeter that no longer exists. In a world of AI with distributed users, partners, and cloud workloads, that model leaves enterprises exposed,” said Jay Chaudhry, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zscaler. “Security in the AI era has to be dynamic. With this expansion of Zero Trust SASE, we are giving organizations one platform that secures every communication, simplifies operations through agentic AI, without the cost and complexity of legacy infrastructure.” The enhanced platform also includes browser-based access, post-quantum cryptography readiness, and unified security controls, helping organizations securely scale AI initiatives while improving visibility, governance, and resilience across increasingly complex digital ecosystems.
