Shares of cybersecurity firm Zscaler (ZS) are on the rise Thursday morning after topping its fiscal second quarter estimates for earnings and revenue. Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry sits down with Catalysts co-hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills to talk more about the growing demand for cyber protections as artificial intelligence (AI) models grow more sophisticated. “What Zscaler does is it brings a zero trust architecture where we are hiding all the attack surface. So the need for cyber protection is number one,” Chaudhry states. “Reason number two [for this demand], AI is also becoming a big source of loss of data. You can simply submit some of your source codes from the programs to these AI applications. The customers can lose data — We provide protection against data loss.” Watch the video above to hear Zscaler chief executive Jay Chaudhry discuss the trends in his industry’s CapEx spending.
