Zscaler unveils cutting-edge AI innovations to stop attacks, protect sensitive data, and enable businesses to embrace AI securely

Zscaler announced advanced artificial intelligence (AI) security capabilities and new AI-powered innovations to enhance data security and stop cyberattacks. These advancements address critical challenges for businesses adopting AI, including safeguarding proprietary information and maintaining regulatory compliance. 

As organisations adapt to the era of artificial intelligence, Zscaler is enabling businesses to adopt advanced AI technologies securely and at scale. The Zscaler platform securely connects users, devices, and data across distributed environments, leveraging the world’s largest inline security cloud, processing over 500 trillion security signals every day. This unparalleled real-world telemetry powers Zscaler’s AI engines, delivering highly accurate threat detection and effective automated security. 

Zscaler’s latest AI-focused solutions address the complexities associated with deploying advanced AI tools in large, distributed environments. The new capabilities drive precision, automate threat neutralisation, and power frictionless collaboration by harnessing the power of AI to unify users, applications, devices, clouds, and branches.

The following solutions, showcased during Zenith Live 2025, are available for Zscaler customers to accelerate secure, AI-driven innovation: 

• AI-powered Data Security Classification: Zscaler’s newest AI-powered data security classification brings human-like intuition to identifying sensitive content, now including more than 200 categories, allowing advanced classifications that find new and unexpected sensitive data beyond traditional regex-based signature detection. As a result, organisations can get a very granular data security posture assessment in a fraction of the time.  

• Enhanced Generative AI Protections with Expanded Prompt Visibility: Zscaler delivers greater visibility and control over GenAI applications, including Microsoft CoPilot, by enabling advanced prompt classification and inspection. Organisations can block prompts that violate policies and leverage existing DLP capabilities to safeguard sensitive data and ensure compliance across AI-powered workflows. 

• AI-Powered Segmentation: Enhancements include the first purpose-built user-to-application segmentation AI automation engine to now simplify app management, app grouping, and segmentation workflows with user identity built in. This capability significantly accelerates the segmentation workflow to rapidly improve an organisation’s security posture.  

• Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) Network Intelligence: Powered with AI, Network Operations can now instantly benchmark and visualise internet and regional ISP performance, correlating last-mile and intermediate ISP outages with multi-path flow analysis to optimise connections to Zscaler data centers and applications, ensuring greater reliability and improved performance. Additionally, network operations teams can also proactively detect, isolate, and analyse trends for disruptive ISP issues, such as packet loss impacting users, enabling faster remediation through rerouting, and cost savings via better ISP negotiations. 

“Zscaler is redesigning the boundaries of enterprise security by advancing AI-driven innovations that address the complex challenges of today’s digital age,” said Adam Geller, Chief Product Officer, Zscaler. “With industry-first capabilities like AI-driven threat detection and automated segmentation, we empower organisations to adopt and scale AI responsibly and securely.
