Zscaler, Inc. said it expanded its Zscaler Zero Trust SASE solution with new capabilities that extend Zero Trust controls across unmanaged devices, B2B partners, and multi-cloud workloads. The update also introduced the ZAgent Framework for agentic administration. The company framed the change as an operating-model shift for securing communications from browser access to workload traffic on a cloud-native architecture.

Zscaler described how legacy SASE, built on firewalls and VPNs, was designed for a network perimeter and did not address unmanaged devices, supply-chain connectivity, or faster AI-driven attacks. It also said that administration has been complicated by legacy management consoles and by the need to expose applications to the internet and enable lateral movement.

On the platform side, Zscaler said its Zero Trust Exchange and AI engine process more than 750 billion daily transactions. For operations, it introduced ZAgent Framework to orchestrate Zscaler agents for administration tasks such as configuration and troubleshooting, accessed through a natural language prompt in the Zscaler Experience Center. It also described a ZDX Agent to help diagnose end-user experience issues tied to Wi-Fi, ISP, or device.

For expansion of Zero Trust SASE, Zscaler said it added a Zero Trust Browser Extension and Enterprise Browser that integrate into cross-browser extension or Chromium-based browser to deliver localized data controls and browser detection and response for unmanaged and BYOD devices. It also described Zscaler B2B exchange for bi-directional application access without exposing networks or requiring complex firewall rules, plus an endpoint sandbox that protects against malicious files introduced from offline sources such as flash drives. For workloads and multi-cloud, it said it extended a Zero Trust Gateway to GCP alongside existing AWS support and added Kubernetes microsegmentation with automated, granular controls that stop lateral threat movement across VMs and containers.

“Legacy SASE was built in the post-pandemic rush, based on a firewall and VPN model for a network perimeter that no longer exists. In a world of AI with distributed users, partners, and cloud workloads, that model leaves enterprises exposed,” said Jay Chaudhry, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zscaler. “Security in the AI era has to be dynamic. With this expansion of Zero Trust SASE, we are giving organizations one platform that secures every communication, simplifies operations through agentic AI, without the cost and complexity of legacy infrastructure.”

Forward-looking statements in the release addressed expected development, adoption, performance and benefits of the Zero Trust SASE platform expansion and said actual results could differ based on development and customer adoption.
