Zscaler, Inc.<\/a> (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today announced it has acquired innovative AI security pioneer SPLX, extending the Zscaler Zero Trust ExchangeTM platform with shift-left AI asset discovery, automated red teaming, and governance, so organizations can secure their AI investments from development through deployment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cToday marks an important step in advancing Zscaler\u2019s role as the trusted partner helping organizations securely adopt AI,\u201d said Jay Chaudhry, CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Zscaler. \u201cAI is creating enormous value, but its full potential can only be realized when it can be secured. By combining SPLX\u2019s technology with the intelligence of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange and its native data protection that classifies, governs, and prevents loss of sensitive data across prompts, models, and outputs, Zscaler will secure the entire AI lifecycle on one platform. This will strengthen our industry leadership and give customers the confidence to safely embrace AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

As AI drives record infrastructure investments projected to exceed $250 billion by end of 20251, organizations face a rapidly expanding attack surface and shadow AI sprawl. Continuously evolving models, agents, and large language models (LLMs) require ongoing discovery, risk assessment, and remediation, while AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers demand strict guardrails and new techniques to secure data and AI assets across the lifecycle.<\/p>\n

SPLX\u2019s innovative technology and deep expertise in AI red teaming, asset management, threat inspection, prompt hardening and governance will expand Zscaler\u2019s current capabilities, creating a new, dedicated and natively integrated layer of AI protection within the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, that includes:\u00a0<\/p>\n

AI Asset Discovery and Risk Assessment: Discovery extends beyond public generative AI applications and public clouds to include AI models, workflows, code repositories and RAGs and MCP servers in both public and private deployments.
\u00a0Automated AI Red Teaming and Remediation: From development to production, with 5,000+ purpose-built and domain specific attack simulations to find risks and vulnerabilities, and offer remediation in real time.\u00a0
\u00a0AI Runtime Guardrails and Prompt Hardening: Expands Zscaler\u2019s current AI Runtime Guardrails that protect sensitive data and block malicious attacks between AI apps and LLMs, as well as agentic workflows, to include deep visibility within development environments and automate Guardrails for risky AI assets.
\u00a0AI Governance and Compliance: Risk mitigation and support for organizations to shift from reactive defense to proactive protection for their valuable AI investments, and comply with governance frameworks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cZscaler and SPLX share a vision to confront the vast new attack surface created by rapidly expanding AI infrastructure investments,\u201d said Kristian Kamber, CEO and co-founder of SPLX. \u201cBy joining forces, we\u2019ll bring our innovation to one of the most trusted security platforms in the world, securing AI innovation at the speed organizations are adopting it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
