Zscaler Becomes Member of Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative to Enhance Cybersecurity Posture of U.S. and Strategic International Partners
20 December 2022 - 12:01AM
Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today
announced its membership in the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative
(JCDC), underscoring the company’s commitment to improving the
nation’s cyber resiliency. JCDC, established by the Cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in 2021, leads the
development and implementation of joint cyber defense plans and
operations through critical partnerships with the private sector,
Federal government and state, local, tribal and territorial
governments. Zscaler will work with JCDC to enhance the collective
cybersecurity posture of the United States and strategic
international partners.
As the operator of the world’s largest in-line security cloud,
Zscaler and the Zscaler ThreatLabz research team will analyze
unique threat telemetry from 270+ billion transactions and 250,000
cloud updates per day – securing users globally. Additionally,
Zscaler will participate in future cyber strategy planning with
JCDC and its members.
“We founded Zscaler with the vision to create a modern
cloud-native architecture for the seamless and secure exchange of
information,” said Jay Chaudhry, CEO, chairman and founder of
Zscaler. “Today, digital transformation has accelerated
organizations’ move to cloud-based SaaS models and the internet is
now the new corporate network -- rendering 30 years of networking
and security principles ineffective. We are honored to be working
with JCDC to leverage the threat intelligence in Zscaler’s zero
trust platform to help stop large-scale cyberattacks, prevent data
exfiltration, and block debilitating ransomware attempts.”
JCDC members have diverse and unique expertise to help reduce
risk to the cyber ecosystem and critical infrastructure. This
diversity provides increased visibility and insights into the
threat landscape enabling JCDC to develop plans and exercises
against the most severe threats.
“JCDC addresses the global imperative for a more inclusive and
operationally aligned community of cyber defenders to execute
countermeasures against bad actors,” said Stephen Kovac, Chief
Compliance Officer at Zscaler. “We have supported CISA for several
years at the Federal level, but now we can help support our mutual
resilience and ability to address immediate and future cyber
incidents at a global level.”
Zscaler currently supports over 100 federal agencies and system
integrators, keeping sensitive data secure and employees productive
while working from anywhere. Additionally, Zscaler is the only
cloud security provider with all core solutions comprising its
portfolio of products – the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform™ –
now authorized through the U.S. Federal government’s FedRAMP
program at High and Moderate levels. As a result, government
agencies and their contractors can use Zscaler’s Zero Trust
platform for systems that manage their most sensitive information
and protect against cyber threats.
