Zscaler, Inc. ZS

Company Overview

Zscaler, Inc. is a cloud security company that provides software-as-a-service (SaaS) cybersecurity solutions designed to secure users, applications, and devices regardless of location. The company operates primarily in the cloud security, network security, and zero trust cybersecurity industries. Its platform replaces traditional perimeter-based network security architectures with a cloud-native security model centered on secure internet access and application access. Zscaler’s primary revenue driver is subscription-based recurring revenue generated from enterprise customers that use its cloud-delivered security services. Key offerings include the Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) platform, Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX), and broader zero trust and data protection services. The company serves large enterprises, government agencies, healthcare organizations, financial institutions, manufacturing firms, and other multinational customers seeking secure remote and hybrid workforce connectivity.

Founded in 2007 by Jay Chaudhry, Zscaler was established to modernize enterprise cybersecurity through a globally distributed cloud platform rather than hardware appliances. The company completed its initial public offering in 2018 and has since expanded its portfolio through internal development and acquisitions focused on cloud workload protection, artificial intelligence-driven security analytics, and secure access service edge (SASE) capabilities. Zscaler’s strategic positioning is closely tied to the industry shift toward zero trust architecture, cloud computing adoption, and hybrid work environments. Industry analysts and company filings consistently identify its large-scale cloud security infrastructure and integrated zero trust platform as differentiators within the cybersecurity market.
