As the demand for AI solutions accelerates, global infrastructure investments are projected to surpass $250 billion by the end of 2025. However, this rapid adoption has introduced new security challenges, including an expanding attack surface and the rise of shadow AI. Constantly evolving large language models (LLMs), AI agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers require continuous monitoring, risk assessment, and remediation to ensure security across every stage of the AI lifecycle.

By integrating SPLX’s cutting-edge technology and expertise, Zscaler is set to deliver a dedicated, seamlessly integrated layer of AI protection within its Zero Trust Exchange platform. The new capabilities will include:
