    About

    Zscaler, Inc. launched in 2008 with a clear mission to dismantle the old model of network security. Founders Jay Chaudhry and Pradeep Sindhu realized that traditional hardware appliances were becoming bottlenecks for modern businesses moving to the cloud. They built a platform that processes all internet traffic through their global inline security cloud instead of routing data back to on-premise data centers.

    Today the company stands as a primary architect of the zero trust movement. Its architecture allows organizations to secure networks without complex physical infrastructure at branch offices or relying on legacy firewalls. This shift enables enterprises to protect users, devices, and applications regardless of where they connect from.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What exactly is Zscaler used for?
    Zscaler provides a cloud-based cybersecurity platform that delivers secure internet access and application access. It helps enterprises implement a zero-trust security model without needing physical hardware appliances at every location.
    Why did Zscaler stock drop in October 2026?
    Shares fell nearly 6% during that period due to broader market jitters regarding AI financing costs and volatility within the cybersecurity sector affecting peers like Palo Alto Networks.
    Does Zscaler track user activity?
    Yes, the platform monitors and logs user traffic and application usage to detect threats and enforce security policies. Administrators can configure these settings based on organizational needs.
    Is Zscaler still in business?
