Zscaler was founded in 2007 on the visionary idea that the internet would be the new corporate network, as the cloud becomes the new data center. From day one, our vision has been to create a world in which the exchange of information is always seamless and secure.
We built a new platform – the Zscaler Zero Trust ExchangeTM – from the ground up to securely connect individual users, devices, and applications.

We delivered an outstanding quarter driven by growing customer interest in our Zero Trust Exchange platform. As threat actors evolve and continue to exploit firewall-based security, Zero Trust security remains a top IT priority, and an increasing number of enterprises are adopting our platform. To meet this demand, we are accelerating innovation, expanding our platform and building a strong go-to-market team to scale our business to $5 billion and beyond in ARR.
Jay Chaudhry
Chairman and CEO of Zscaler
Zscaler Central Authority (CA) monitors our entire security cloud and provides a central location for software and database updates, policy and configuration settings and threat intelligence. The collection of CA instances together act like the brain of the cloud, and they are geographically distributed for redundancy and performance.
Customer traffic gets directed to the nearest Zscaler Enforcement Node (ZEN), where security, management and compliance policies are enforced. Our differentiated authentication and policy distribution mechanism that enables any user to connect to any ZEN at any time to ensure full policy enforcement. ZEN utilizes a full proxy architecture for in-line traffic inspection and is built to ensure data is not written to disk to maintain the highest level of data security. Logs are continuously created in memory and forwarded to our logging module.
Compressed logs are transmitted to our Nanolog Servers over secure connections and multicast to multiple servers for redundancy. Our dashboards provide visibility into our customer’s traffic to enable troubleshooting, policy changes and other administrative actions. Our analytics capabilities allow customers to interactively mine billions of transaction logs to generate reports that provide insight on network utilization and traffic. Regardless of where users are located, customers can choose to have logs stored in the US, the EU or Switzerland as well as streamed to a third-party SIEM.
The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange employs a single-scan, multi-action (SSMA) architecture to minimize latency, improve user experience, and enable an integrated, extensible platform.
Single-Scan
Traffic is entered into memory only once
Multi-Action
Multiple security engines simultaneously inspect the packet
Extensibility
New inspection engines can be added over time, without impacting performance
Zscaler has invested heavily into building a ‘proxy' based architecture that deeply inspects network traffic at an enormous scale, including SSL/TLS encrypted traffic. Think about it like a postal service.
