Zscaler announced a collaboration with NVIDIA aimed at accelerating AI-based co-pilot technologies to improve enterprise security and user experience. This partnership will enable Zscaler to leverage NVIDIA AI technologies, significantly increasing its capacity to process more than 400 billion transactions daily from its Zero Trust Exchange platform.
The collaboration introduces new AI capabilities, including NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails and the NVIDIA Morpheus framework. These technologies aim to improve Zscaler’s ability to proactively defend businesses against cyber threats while simplifying IT and network operations.
As advances in AI rapidly reshape the cybersecurity landscape, businesses must increasingly leverage their massive volumes of data to maintain a proactive security posture and effectively manage their IT operations. The Zscaler ZDX Copilot, in collaboration with NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails, provides insights into network, device and application performance. This helps simplify IT support and operations on a larger scale. NeMo Guardrails, through its dialog management capabilities, ensures relevance, accuracy and security, protecting organizations using generative AI systems.
The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, considered the world’s largest security cloud, already processes more than 400 billion transactions every day. Using cutting-edge predictive and generative AI, Zscaler is able to quickly identify and act on threats and anomalies that previously proved difficult to detect.
Two main solutions will leverage NVIDIA technologies:
- Zscaler ZDX Copilot with NVIDIA Morpheus: This GPU-accelerated end-to-end AI framework allows developers to create applications optimized to filter, process, and classify large volumes of streaming cybersecurity data. This enhancement aims to enable real-time threat detection by optimizing AI pipelines with large volumes of data.
- Zscaler ZDX Copilot with NVIDIA NIM: NVIDIA NIM consists of microservices designed to accelerate the deployment of generative AI models. It can support a wide range of extensive language models, providing scalable and efficient AI inference suitable for security and data protection use cases. This technology allows Zscaler to incorporate advanced generative AI models and multimodal capabilities into its data protection suite using large local language models.
“A cybersecurity vendor’s AI advancements become the critical ingredient to maintaining an edge over adversaries,” said Punit Minocha, senior vice president of business and corporate development at Zscaler. “Zscaler is committed to protecting AI with AI, and this collaboration with NVIDIA strengthens our leadership position in the cybersecurity market. »
Pat Lee, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at NVIDIA, commented: “Generative AI and accelerated computing continue to transform every industry and business, requiring support in cybersecurity and IT operations. With the integration of NVIDIA’s AI software portfolio, Zscaler’s ZDX Copilot can now provide developers with the security and protection needed to detect cyber anomalies and accelerate IT security.
