Sponsor Spotlight: Zscaler, The AI Era's Answer to Security

TWiT.tv is proud to spotlight our sponsor, Zscaler, a leader in cloud security that reduces infrastructure costs and complexity, provides a faster user experience, and secures everything for your business.

Thanks to AI's continued evolution, business operations and innovation have fundamentally changed. However, this AI evolution has a darker side: technology that drives innovation also enables cybercriminals to unleash more sophisticated and relentless attacks. 

Recent data shows phishing attacks over encrypted channels have surged by 34.1%, primarily fueled by generative AI tools and the proliferation of phishing-as-a-service kits that make advanced attacks accessible to more bad actors.

Driving Zscaler is CEO and founder Jay Chaudhry, an accomplished entrepreneur with a proven track record of developing trailblazing security innovations. His latest pioneering technology, the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™, represents a new approach to securing highly mobile employees while accelerating digital transformation. 

The proof is in the results. Stephen Harrison, CISO of MGM Resorts International, explains the impact: "We hit zero trust segmentation across our workforce in record time, and the day-to-day maintenance of the solution with data loss protection, with insights into our applications. These were really quick and easy wins from our perspective."

In this new landscape, traditional security approaches (firewalls, VPNs, and public-facing IP addresses) create expansive attack surfaces that are simply no match for AI-powered threats. Organizations need to fundamentally rethink how they protect their private AI initiatives and their employees' use of public AI tools.

Zscaler's comprehensive Zero Trust Architecture offers a modern approach built from the ground up for today's challenges. Jeff Simon, Senior Vice President and Chief Security Officer at T-Mobile, highlights what sets Zscaler apart: "Zscaler's fundamental difference in the technologies and SaaS space is that it was built from the ground up to be a zero-trust network access solution, which was the main outcome we were looking to drive."

Zscaler's Zero Trust + AI approach addresses three critical areas:

• Safe public AI productivity - Enabling employees to leverage AI tools without compromising security
• Private AI protection - Safeguarding the integrity of your organization's proprietary AI initiatives
• AI-powered attack prevention - Stopping sophisticated threats before they can cause damage

Organizations need security solutions that advance alongside emerging AI threats and opportunities. Zscaler provides comprehensive protection that allows companies to innovate confidently while remaining resilient as the threat landscape evolves.
