Zscaler's Project AI-Guardian: Securing Enterprise AI Adoption

Zscaler has launched Project AI-Guardian, a new initiative with Global System Integrator partners. This program combines Zscaler's AI security platform with GSI consulting expertise. The goal is to help businesses adopt AI while maintaining security, compliance, and visibility. The initiative aims to secure the "agentic world," where AI agents and autonomous workloads expand the attack surface. AI models connect to data and applications across their lifecycle, creating new security challenges. Project AI-Guardian will extend Zscaler's Zero Trust framework to AI assets. Through this project, GSIs will use Zscaler's AI Protect portfolio. This includes AI Asset Management for visibility into AI usage and risks, Secure Access to AI for granular controls, and Secure AI Infrastructure and Apps for safeguarding AI development. This helps organizations discover shadow AI and understand AI-related risks. The bottom line is this collaboration helps organizations manage the security complexities of integrating AI into their operations.
