Zscaler protects the entire AI lifecycle after acquiring SPLX

"The SPLX acquisition brings multiple components to Zscaler. For example, asset discovery provides an in-depth look at AI applications, examining models, workflows, code repositories, RAG settings, and MCP servers. It doesn't matter whether these items are in a private or public environment; the SPLX tooling should be able to scan them completely. In addition, SPLX offers automated AI red teaming with over 5,000 domain-specific attack simulations, including remediation advice."

"AI is creating enormous value, but its full potential can only be realized 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."

Zscaler acquired SPLX to add AI-focused security capabilities to the Zero Trust Exchange. SPLX enables thorough asset discovery across models, workflows, code repositories, RAG configurations, and MCP servers in both private and public environments. The platform provides automated AI red teaming with more than 5,000 domain-specific attack simulations and remediation guidance. Runtime security aims to block sensitive data exposures and malicious interactions among AI apps, LLMs, agents, and MCP servers. Governance and compliance features enforce policy controls and data protection across prompts, models, and outputs. Rising AI infrastructure spending increases the need to integrate AI security with existing enterprise tooling.
