Sunil Frida shared thisSecurity teams are under more pressure than ever. Attackers are using AI to move faster, scale attacks, and do more damage with less skill. At the same time, defenders are overwhelmed by more signals, more complexity, and too many disconnected tools and manual processes. That’s not how you stop machine-speed attacks. Our customers told us they needed a better way to connect exposure management, threat detection, investigation, and response in real time. We listened. That’s why we launched Zscaler Agentic SOC—to help organizations understand their attack surface, prioritize what matters, and act faster with more confidence.

Sunil Frida shared thisMy first SKO as CMO of Zscaler — and I left inspired. By the energy. By the ambition. By the people. We are building for a world being reshaped by AI, and the opportunity in front of us is enormous. Zscaler has the platform, the innovation, and the team to define what comes next in Zero Trust and #AI security. Our partnership with Aston Martin F1 Team is a perfect reflection of that mindset: speed, precision, teamwork, and the relentless pursuit of what’s next. I’m proud to be on this journey with this team. We’re accelerating. Soon, they will see us coming!

Sunil Frida shared thisBelief is doing the hard work when nobody is watching. I met this year's cohort of Zscaler GTM interns last week (the future of our industry!), and their belief in what's possible is electric. ⚡️ Protect that spark, feed your curiosity, and remember that true growth lives just outside your comfort zone. 🙏🏼❤️ Anish Sayani Hannah Nebres Juan Pablo López Escamilla Morris Effah Rachel Song Conrad Lo John Frida Swetha Kanuboddi

Sunil Frida shared thisI have the good fortune of leading an incredible Zscaler team, building the brand and business to stay ahead in the highly dynamic enterprise security space. That's why I'm proud to announce I'm now part of The Wall Street Journal’s CMO council, a distinguished network of global leaders grappling with today’s most critical business challenges. It's an exciting opportunity to collaborate with an exceptional group to share insights with other leaders who are rethinking how brands can grow and innovate, especially in the AI era. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gf-NgABj #WSJCMO

Sunil Frida shared thisGreat news to share! Zscaler has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Secure Access Service Edge (#SASE) platforms and has also been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge (#SSE) — our fifth consecutive year as a Leader in this category. For me, this recognition reflects what is going on across the market: customers are looking for ways to modernize securely, simplify how they connect users and locations, and reduce the operational burden created by legacy approaches that no longer protect against the threats businesses face. The conversations we have every day are less about products in isolation and more about outcomes: better user experiences, less complexity, stronger security, and a clearer path to #ZeroTrust. That is one reason SSE continues to matter so much as a foundational part of how organizations balance security, agility, and user experience at the same time. Recognition like this is meaningful, but our focus remains the same: helping customers solve real problems and stay ahead of what comes next.

I will share a link to a free copy of the report in the coming days so stay tuned.

Sunil Frida shared thisStill feeling the electricity ⚡️ from all the great conversations from Aston Martin F1 Team’s Tech Forum at their Silverstone HQ in the UK. As the team’s Global Cybersecurity Partner, we discussed how AI is reshaping industries, and what it takes to innovate securely as change accelerates. I wrote a blogpost to share a few thoughts on AI, #ZeroTrust, and why security should help organizations move faster, with more confidence.

Sunil Frida shared thisEveryone's predicting what Frontier AI means for security. We stopped predicting and started testing. Over the last 90 days, Zscaler teams tested Frontier AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI and assessed dozens of real enterprise environments the way an adversary would: scanning attack surfaces, chaining vulnerabilities, and stress-testing defenses. What stood out: truly weaponizable models are already here, and our real risks are not what defenders think they are. Join us as our security leaders share what they learned and what it means for the road ahead. Register here: https://lnkd.in/g_Krkyn3

Sunil Frida shared thisI’ve been a fan of Formula One since Mansell, Senna, Prost, and Schumacher were duelling in the early 1990s. So the opportunity to attend the British Grand Prix at Silverstone alongside Jay Chaudhry and a group of Zscaler customers as Aston Martin F1 Team’s Global Cybersecurity Partner made for a weekend I’ll never forget. Our hosts at Aston Martin F1 Team gave us a behind the scenes look at what it takes to build the AMR26 car with a visit to the factory, and I had the opportunity to attend and participate onstage at the AMR Network’s first Technology Forum. The team also arranged meet and greets with drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, executive chairman of Aston Martin and team owner, Lawrence Stroll, Chris Gilkes and many other talented AMR professionals. I’m excited for the rest of the season and developing a partnership that is grounded in shared values of performance, innovation, and constantly looking ahead to what comes next. Soon they will see us coming! #ActFastStaySecure #ZeroTrust #Cybersecurity #F1

Sunil Frida liked thisThe data is the proof - Securing our organizations requires moving past legacy perimeters and establishing robust, inline Zero Trust controls to stop data exfiltration in its tracks.👉 Read the full ThreatLabz analysis here: https://lnkd.in/gEX-JTiASunil Frida liked thisRansomware actors are stealing more data, abusing legitimate enterprise tools, relying more on scripting languages, and increasingly showing signs of GenAI-assisted tooling. The latest ThreatLabz 2026 Ransomware Report breaks down how ransomware tactics are changing — from initial access to exfiltration — and why defenders need to detect and disrupt attacks earlier in the lifecycle. Key takeaways: 🛡️ Defenses need to evolve across prevention, detection, containment, and response 🆘 More attackers are targeting employees tied to critical business processes ⚠️ GenAI is helping threat actors develop and adapt malware faster The report also outlines how #ZeroTrust + AI-driven, agentic #SecOps can help reduce opportunities for compromise, limit lateral movement, stop data loss, and speed investigations.
