SAN JOSÉ, California, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, announced several innovations for its AI data protection platform that leverage the world’s largest security cloud and the power of AI. These innovations make Zscaler’s AI Data Protection platform the most comprehensive data protection solution in the industry. We protect:
- Structured and unstructured data in motion, at rest, and in use
- Data across all online channels including web, SaaS, email, BYOD, and private applications in data centers and public cloud
- Data in SaaS, IaaS/PaaS environments, endpoints, and on-premises network shares
Data protection is a top priority for all organizations that need to protect intellectual property and customer data from malicious insiders, accidental data loss and bad actors. The problem is compounded by the growing threat of new shadow AI, ransomware and increased cloud usage. According to ThreatLabz AI Report 2024AI/ML enterprise transactions increased by nearly 600% between April 2023 and January 2024, despite increasing security risks.
“There is an immediate and critical need for a consolidated approach to data protection that can secure all types of data, in all locations, while streamlining security operations,” said Moinul Khan, vice president and General Manager of Data Protection at Zscaler. “Good data protection starts with complete visibility. Point products create complexity and security gaps and don’t provide a complete 360-degree view of your business data. With today’s launch of the Zscaler AI data protection platform, we continue our commitment to helping customers visualize all their data and scale security protection to prevent leaks. By enabling data security across structured and unstructured data and across channels with our comprehensive data protection platform, organizations can replace multiple existing point products to reduce cost and complexity.
Zscaler analyzes and leverages insights from over 500 trillion data points across users, devices, networks, and applications every day. The power of AI and automation increases visibility of sensitive data everywhere, provides relevant context, and enables closed-loop workflow automation. The latest enhancements to Zscaler’s AI data protection platform include:
- Natively integrated Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), designed as a core part of Zscaler’s data protection platform that discovers, classifies and protects sensitive data in public clouds such as AWS and Microsoft Azure.
- Rich in context GenAI Application Security with correlation between users and risks, providing insights into risk prompts, AI application usage, and granular policy controls.
- New, in real time Send an email to DLP to secure sensitive data in corporate email, including Microsoft 365 and Google Gmail, one of the most problematic insider threat vectors.
- Additional platform enhancements including:
- Consolidated Unified SaaS security, which integrates traditionally standalone technologies such as SSPM, SaaS supply chain security, out-of-band API CASB security, and deep user activity analytics, to provide a highly accurate correlation engine. This engine delivers powerful, actionable insights into SaaS data, enabling proactive risk management and mitigation.
- Extended Automatic data discovery by AI to encompass all data-at-rest locations, including endpoints, SaaS, and public cloud infrastructure. This expansion streamlines existing data protection programs by reducing complexity and improving efficiency.
“Organizations are looking for more ways to extract value from the data that exists in their ecosystem, while protecting sensitive and confidential information. The combination of data discovery, classification and mapping provides essential context for reliably applying security controls while optimizing business processes,” said Jennifer Glenn, research director, security and trust, IDC. “Data security solutions, such as Zscaler’s AI Data Protection Platform, can help identify and resolve data security issues, while reducing the cost and complexity of deploying multiple classification engines and other one-off products.
“Today’s businesses are tasked with managing data across more platforms than ever before, including devices, clouds, applications and servers. Protecting and securing this data from loss and the exponential rise of threats like ransomware is a monumental task, made even more difficult when teams have limited resources. visibility into data at rest and in motion,” said Elad Horn, GVP, Product, Cohesity. “Together, Cohesity and Zscaler help these organizations strengthen their data security and posture, providing them with deep visibility into sensitive data while enabling them to better defend their data. data against threats and accelerate their recovery time after incidents.
