Zscaler partners with Nvidia to enhance AI-powered cybersecurity

Cloud security leader Zscaler has announced a partnership with Nvidia to boost its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered security services. This collaboration will integrate Nvidia's AI technologies to improve Zscaler’s ability to protect enterprises from cyber threats and streamline IT operations.

Zscaler’s new AI capabilities will use Nvidia's NeMo Guardrails, Morpheus framework, and NIM inference microservices to process data more effectively on the Zero Trust Exchange platform. This will help Zscaler’s AI-driven tools detect and respond to threats faster.

The platform processes over 400 billion transactions daily, making it the world’s largest security cloud. By leveraging Nvidia’s AI, Zscaler can quickly identify and act on threats that were previously hard to detect.

The key features of the platform include ZDX Copilot with Nvidia Morpheus that enhances real-time threat detection by processing large volumes of cybersecurity data efficiently.
Another key feature is ZDX Copilot with Nvidia NIM which supports scalable AI models for specific security and data protection needs.

Punit Minocha, Zscaler's EVP of Business and Corporate Development, highlighted the importance of AI in cybersecurity, stating that the partnership with Nvidia strengthens Zscaler’s market position.

Pat Lee, Nvidia's Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, emphasized that the integration of Nvidia’s AI tools will help Zscaler detect cyber threats and improve IT security.

In March, Zscaler acquired the startup Avalor, embarking on an ambitious journey to revolutionize AI capabilities in the cybersecurity industry.
