Zscaler Acquires AI Security Pioneer SPLX to Cover Entire Enterprise AI Lifecycle

Zscaler, Inc. has announced that it acquired innovative AI security specialist SPLX. The acquisition will extend Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange™ platform with capabilities for shift-left AI asset discovery, automated red-teaming and governance—enabling organisations to secure their AI investments from development through deployment.

“AI is creating enormous value, but its full potential can only be realised when it can be secured. By combining SPLX’s technology with the intelligence of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange and its native data protection that classifies, governs and prevents loss of sensitive data across prompts, models, and outputs, Zscaler will secure the entire AI lifecycle on one platform. This will strengthen our industry leadership and give customers the confidence to safely embrace AI,” Jay Chaudhry, CEO, Chairman and Founder of Zscaler, said.

With AI infrastructure investments projected to exceed US $250 billion by end of 2025, organisations face a rapidly expanding attack surface and growing “shadow AI” risk.

SPLX brings capabilities in AI red-teaming, asset management, threat inspection, prompt hardening and governance—enabling Zscaler to create a dedicated, natively integrated layer of AI protection within its platform. Key features include:

• AI Asset Discovery & Risk Assessment covering models, workflows, code repositories and RAGs in both public and private deployments. zscaler.com
• Automated AI Red Teaming & Remediation with 5,000+ attack simulations and real-time remediation. zscaler.com
• AI Runtime Guardrails & Prompt Hardening to protect data between AI apps, LLMs and agentic workflows. zscaler.com

“This partnership enables us to bring our innovation to one of the most trusted security platforms in the world, securing AI innovation at the speed organisations are adopting it,” said Kristian Kamber, CEO and co-founder of SPLX.

The acquisition positions Zscaler at the forefront of AI-security integration, enabling enterprises to safely realise AI’s potential while managing risk across the entire AI lifecycle.
