About Zscaler
Zscaler is a cloud security company that protects over 41 million users by using a zero-trust approach, meaning nothing connects to a network until it proves it belongs there. They use AI to stop hackers before damage happens.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Big Growth Story
Revenue jumped 23 percent year over year, with the business now pulling in billions annually. Zscaler keeps landing major enterprise and federal contracts as companies race to upgrade from old-school firewalls to modern cloud-based protection.
- AI Tailwinds
As AI tools spread inside companies, security risks explode, and Zscaler protects more than 500 billion daily transactions across its platform. That gives them a front-row seat to one of the biggest spending shifts in tech.
- Profit Puzzle
The company still runs at a net loss, with margins sitting at negative 2.4 percent. Growth costs money, but investors want to see those red numbers flip to black soon.
- Crowded Arena
Zscaler competes with at least 5 well-funded rivals including CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks, all chasing the same multi-billion dollar cybersecurity budgets. Winning deals gets harder as competition heats up.
