Zscaler announced its presence at GITEX Global from 14 – 18th of October 2024 as a Bronze sponsor, under the theme “Zero Trust meets AI”. Being a pioneer of zero trust, Zscaler is also co-sponsoring GITEX Cyber Valley’s CISO Lounge, one of the most powerful communities for chief information security officers and cybersecurity professionals.
Zscaler is now combining its Zero Trust Exchange platform with AI engines to enable businesses to securely simplify and transform their businesses for a competitive advantage in a cloud-based world. The highly integrated security platform can expertly secure users by preventing and predicting cyber threats and data loss while providing fast and reliable connectivity to apps from anywhere. Workloads and OT/IoT devices are secured through cloud-native application protection and privileged access via zero trust connectivity.
“With its full spectrum security coverage, Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange is the purpose-built cybersecurity platform that organisations of all sizes can trust across their business,” said Brian Marvin, SVP at Zscaler EMEA. “Just as some organisations standardise on the platforms they use for HR, ERP, CRM and Workflow, now they can extend this standardisation to their cyber security to securely transform their business.”
The power of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform spans the following focus areas, which will be demonstrated on the show floor of the Dubai World Trade Center in Hall 23 Cyber Valley, stand H23-C25:
- Zscaler Business Analytics leverages 500 trillion daily signals to provide actionable insights that help reduce cyber risk, improve employee digital experience, and optimise SaaS and office space usage.
- Zscaler Cyberthreat Protection takes a holistic approach to protect users, workloads and devices. Built on the principle of least privilege, Zscaler’s proxy architecture enables full TLS/SSL inspection at scale, with connections brokered between users and applications based on identity, context, and business policies.
- Zscaler Data Protection secures all data types across all channels with the power of AI via the unified security platform to prevent the loss of sensitive data.
- Zero Trust Networking eliminates routing complexity, reduces operational overhead, and stops lateral movement across all locations.
“The fast pace of digital transformation in the Middle East and North Africa, which happens across applications, networks, and security, requires a new, more secure and faster architecture. The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform is more than just another security solution; it’s actually built to get organisations ready for a cloud-first world by eliminating old legacy point technologies, all while securely connecting individual users, devices, and applications,” said Saeed Agha, VP EMEA Emerging Markets. “Zscaler’s vision from day one has been to create a world in which the exchange of information is always seamless and secure.”
