I'm not entirely convinced that this page should be deleted as a copyvio - the lead has existed largely unchanged since 2008, and I don't see any indication that abbreviation.com had it first (in fact, the way it's laid out makes me think reverse copy).

• I just saw your comment here. I commented about this on your talk page. There's more information available at User_talk:Cyphoidbomb#Zscaler. The short of it is that the content that exists on this article right now in the lede section is a word-for-word copy of what is available at https://www.abbreviations.com/ZSCALER. Further, the content at that website existed before it existed here. See this dated March 22, 2016 and compare against this version of the article, which is the last revision before the March 22, 2016 snapshot from archive.org. The content from https://www.abbreviations.com/ZSCALER appeared before it appeared on this article. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:44, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• @Primefac: Please note that I removed a great deal of copyrighted content from this article today. See [1][2][3] and [4]. I don't know when this material was introduced into the article, but it should be suppressed as a copyright violation. This content should be revdel'd per Wikipedia:Copyright violations. I believe attribution is important as well, as it's required for licensing. I had intended on attributing two things on the draft if I had moved it to replace the original article; the sentence about the acquisition of Cloudneeti, and the infobox. Both were copied from the prior article; the sentence word for word and the infobox slightly modified. Everything else was newly created content. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Yeah, I'm working on the RD1. Primefac (talk) 00:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Cool, thanks. I appreciate your work. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:57, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Primefac, Am I still needed? (tip for big revdels: click on one box, then hold down shift when you click on the next one to check all the boxes inbetween. It saves several minutes of work. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk🌴Help out at CCI!} 01:03, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure I found all of the historical cv content that Hammersoft removed, but if you feel up to it you're welcome to check some of the older stuff; I found a some matches but since they were from recent papers/sites/etc I mostly skipped until I found the content that was actually later removed. Primefac (talk) 01:11, 29 August 2020 (UTC) And yes, I do know about the check boxes, it was useful even back in 2017! ;-)[reply]

I came here from their website expecting to find more objective information. This article reads exactly like a landing page and is very light on details. It is heavy on buzzwords for Wikipedia; "a leader on zero trust" is obscure (following the "zero trust" link will introduce it as "an approach to the design of IT systems", no reference for "leader"), "cloud-native platform" (what's that? no link).

Under the fold, the number of patents, the significance of their various ISO certifications, the list of accolades from the press don't make this better. These are not even presented in chronological order, albeit in the "history" section.

Does this marketing page really need to exist on Wikipedia?

This page is just a stub. Looks to me like something that should be marked for deletion. A few Low-importance flags underline that it should just be deleted. Cameron Bales (talk) 22:16, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zscaler is a component of the Nasdaq-100, so WP:LISTED likely applies. Brandon (talk) 06:33, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• What I think should be changed:

The infobox containing information about key people and company financial data

• Why it should be changed:

This information is out of date. Remo Canessa is no longer Zscaler's CFO, and the financial data and employee count information is from 2024.

Here is a suggested edit for the infobox: Update the Key People section to delete Remo Canessa's name (as Remo is no longer CFO at Zscaler). Replace Remo's name with Kevin Rubin (CFO). Add Adam Geller (CPO)

Update the financial information to reflect the company's 2025 fiscal year financial data. Revenue: US$2.67 billion (2025) Operating income: US$-128 million (2025) Net income: US$-41.5 million (2025) * Note that the arrow should be green to represent positive year over year change in net income. Total assets: US$6.42 billion (2025) Total equity: US$1.79 billion (2025) Number of employees: 7,923 (2025)

Update the Industry section to be: Cybersecurity, Internet security, AI security, Zero trust, Cloud computing

• What I think should be changed:

The Acquisitions section would be easier to read in a bulleted format, instead of in paragraph format. This section would also benefit from additional information that explains what Zscaler acquired each company for.

• Why it should be changed:

It's easier to read bulleted lists, and it would provide more information for the reader.

Here is a suggested update of the Acquisitions section:

• August 2018: Zscaler acquired TrustPath’s development team and its AI and machine learning technology to add artificial intelligence and machine-learning technology to the company’s threat research and security analytics capabilities.
• May 2019: Zscaler acquired Appsulate to add browser-based isolation capabilities and remote access technology for securing web browsing and application access.
• April 2020: Zscaler acquired Cloudneeti to expand Zscaler’s cloud security posture management and compliance capabilities for public cloud workloads.
• May 2020: Zscaler acquired Edgewise Networks to add microsegmentation capabilities to the platform.

• What I think should be changed:

The introduction to this page is short and doesn't contain much descriptive information about what the company does.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a more in-depth introduction to this page:

Zscaler, Inc. (/ˈziːˌskeɪlər/) is an American multinational cloud security company headquartered in San Jose, California. The company provides cloud-delivered cybersecurity services based on a zero trust model, including zero trust network access, data protection, and features to address AI security risks.

Zscaler’s core platform, the Zero Trust Exchange™, is based on zero trust principles and includes AI-driven cloud security^[1] functionality. The company offers AI security products^[2] such as continuous AI risk governance, protection of generative AI usage, and AI workload security.

According to VentureBeat^[3], Zscaler has positioned growth in AI adoption as a core driver of demand for its AI security platform offerings. The company has also established partnerships with large language model developers, including Anthropic’s Project Glasswing^[4] and OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber program^[5], with the stated goal of proactively identifying AI-driven vulnerabilities and security risks.

Zscaler's product development in AI-driven threat prevention was recognized when it received the 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Award^[6] for Security.

• What I think should be changed:

The "History" section is fairly short and could benefit from some additional information. It would also be easier to read if the sentences were broken up into smaller paragraphs.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a suggested update to the "History" section. It includes the original information in the article, with a few small additions to add updated information and improve the reading experience:

Zscaler was founded in 2007 by Jay Chaudhry and K. Kailash.^[1] The company launched its cloud native cybersecurity platform in 2008. The platform was designed to provide cloud-based security without on-premises appliances.^[2]

In August 2012, Zscaler raised $38 million in a Series A funding round.^[3] In August 2015, the company raised a $100 million Series B round led by TPG, which pushed the company’s valuation above $1 billion.^[4]

In March 2018, the company had an initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker ZS, during which it raised $192 million.^[5][6][7]

In August 2018, Zscaler made its first post-IPO acquisition by acquiring TrustPath's AI and machine learning technology in addition to the startup’s development team.^[8] Zscaler then acquired the browser security firm Appsulate in May 2019.^[9]

Zscaler stock was added to the Nasdaq-100 index on December 17, 2021.^[10]

In 2023, at its Zenith Live conference, Zscaler announced new AI security capabilities.^[11] Then, in January 2026 the company released the Zscaler AI Security Suite, which included functionality to discover, secure, and govern AI usage for enterprises.^[12]

Zscaler was named a Leader in the inaugural Forrester Wave for Security Service Edge Solutions in 2024.^[13] In May 2025, Gartner named the company a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge for the fourth consecutive year.^[14]

• What I think should be changed:

The current section titled "Zero Trust Exchange" could be expanded with additional information that clearly explains what the company sells. Right now, the heading title "Zero Trust Exchange" doesn't make it immediately clear that it's discussing Zscaler's products, so this edit is suggesting that the "Zero Trust Exchange" heading gets renamed to "Products", with the "Zero Trust Exchange" information nested under the new "Products" section. This new structure should help readability, and the additional information will help add to the depth of the page's information.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a suggested update of the current "Zero Trust Exchange" section:

Products

Zscaler develops AI-driven cloud security products that provide secure access to internet, cloud, and private applications for enterprise users and devices.^[1]

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform applies zero trust access controls by brokering connections between users, devices, and workloads and the applications or data they are authorized to access.^[2] The platform is positioned as an alternative to traditional VPN-based remote access and firewall-centric architectures.^[3]

The company’s offerings are commonly used to support distributed workforces and to help organizations implement secure access service edge (SASE) and zero trust security architectures.^[4]

Zero Trust Exchange Platform

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange is a cloud-based security platform that provides security controls as a service. The platform sits between an entity (including users, workloads, IoT/OT, and AI agents) and the resources (including public and private clouds, applications, the internet, and SaaS applications) that entity is trying to access.^[5]

Under this model, security decisions are made centrally using organizational policies and contextual signals, such as identity, device security posture, and location. Those policies are then applied to traffic regardless of where applications or users are located.

The Zero Trust Exchange inspects and governs traffic while reducing security risks associated with having direct network access to corporate environments. It applies threat protection, enable data controls, and log activity for monitoring and compliance purposes.

Zscaler positions this approach as a way to limit lateral movement of threat actors, simplify connectivity for hybrid and remote workers, and move security functions to the cloud.^[6]

• What I think should be changed:

Because the "Zero Trust Exchange" or "Product" sections of this page are currently light on detail, I'd like to suggest adding more content to those sections to help explain what products Zscaler develops and sells. This should make the page more valuable for readers.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a suggested addition to the current "Zero Trust Exchange" or "Product" section of the page:

AI Security Capabilities (Note: this bolded title would make sense as a subsection that's nested under "Zero Trust Exchange" or "Product" section)

Zscaler develops and sells an AI security platform focused on identifying AI threats, classifying sensitive data, and enforcing AI policy controls.^[1] The platform’s machine learning capabilities analyze security telemetry, identify anomalous behavior, and provide automated responses for security teams.^[2]

Zscaler has introduced features to improve visibility and control over AI application usage, including inspection of user interactions and data protection controls to reduce exposure of sensitive information.^[3] Recent acquisitions such as Avalor, Red Canary, and SPLX brought new technologies to Zscaler’s data integration, detection, and AI lifecycle security capabilities.^[4][5][6]

Data security (Note: this bolded title would make sense as a subsection that's nested under "Zero Trust Exchange" or "Product" section)

Zscaler’s data security capabilities are cloud-delivered controls that discover, classify, and prevent unauthorized exposure of sensitive information when users and workloads access the internet, third-party SaaS applications, and private applications. The company offers data loss prevention (DLP) and related policy enforcement functions, which can inspect traffic and apply rules to reduce the likelihood of data exfiltration.^[7]

Zscaler has developed new technologies and acquired companies to expand its SaaS security posture management, cloud data security, and other data protection offerings.^[8][9]

Zscaler’s Data Security Posture Management offering gives visibility into where sensitive information is stored within an enterprise’s systems, how that information is accessed, and which users or applications have access to that information.^[10]

Zscaler’s DSPM product is positioned as a component of the company’s broader AI security product offerings, which manage risks associated with employee and application use of AI technologies.^[11]

The company’s DSPM technology supplies data inventory and risk context that enterprises can use to inform governance controls for AI security use cases including limiting exposure of sensitive data to AI tools, monitoring data flows to and from AI applications, and applying policy controls to reduce the likelihood of data leakage from AI application usage.^[12]
