Zscaler unveiled the innovations at its Zenith Live '23 event in Las Vegas, Nevada, the company announced a prepared statement.

Here's what the new Zero Trust Exchange innovations include:

  • Zscaler Risk360 risk quantification and visualization framework helps CIOs and CISOs use threat signals from internal and external sources to make informed decisions on how to reduce risk.
  • Zero Trust Branch Connectivity capability enables organizations to securely connect their remote branch offices without having to use site-to-site virtual private networks (VPNs).
  • Zscaler Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution provides visibility into identity misconfigurations and risky permissions.
  • ZSLogin feature gives IT administrators a centralized login dashboard that they can use to streamline authentication for IT processes.

Zscaler Harnesses the Power of Generative AI

Along with Zero Trust Exchange innovations, Zscaler at Zenith Live announced security solutions that IT and security teams can use to "leverage the full potential of generative AI while preserving the safety of enterprises' intellectual property and their customers' data," the company said.

Zscaler has developed the following security solutions — currently in preview — that utilize generative AI:

  • Security Autopilot uses AI engines to learn from changing cloud-based policies and logs and ensure that they continuously secure an organization's data.
  • Zscaler Navigator consists of a natural language interface that customers can use to interact with Zscaler products and access relevant documentation details.
  • Data loss prevention (DLP) offerings blend generative AI and multi-modal capabilities to protect against data leakage across various video, audio and other media formats.

Commenting on his company's use of generative AI and what it means for its customers going forward, Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry said
