Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today announced it has acquired innovative AI security pioneer SPLX, extending the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange^TM platform with shift-left AI asset discovery, automated red teaming, and governance, so organizations can secure their AI investments from development through deployment. 

“Today marks an important step in advancing Zscaler’s role as the trusted partner helping organizations securely adopt AI,” said Jay Chaudhry, CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Zscaler. “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.”

As AI drives record infrastructure investments projected to exceed $250 billion by end of 2025¹, organizations face a rapidly expanding attack surface and shadow AI sprawl. Continuously evolving models, agents, and large language models (LLMs) require ongoing discovery, risk assessment, and remediation, while AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers demand strict guardrails and new techniques to secure data and AI assets across the lifecycle.

SPLX’s innovative technology and deep expertise in AI red teaming, asset management, threat inspection, prompt hardening and governance will expand Zscaler’s current capabilities, creating a new, dedicated and natively integrated layer of AI protection within the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, that includes: 

• AI Asset Discovery and Risk Assessment: Discovery extends beyond public generative AI applications and public clouds to include AI models, workflows, code repositories and RAGs and MCP servers in both public and private deployments.
   
• Automated AI Red Teaming and Remediation: From development to production, with 5,000+ purpose-built and domain specific attack simulations to find risks and vulnerabilities, and offer remediation in real time. 
   
• AI Runtime Guardrails and Prompt Hardening: Expands Zscaler’s current AI Runtime Guardrails that protect sensitive data and block malicious attacks between AI apps and LLMs, as well as agentic workflows, to include deep visibility within development environments and automate Guardrails for risky AI assets.
   
• AI Governance and Compliance: Risk mitigation and support for organizations to shift from reactive defense to proactive protection for their valuable AI investments, and comply with governance frameworks. 

“Zscaler and SPLX share a vision to confront the vast new attack surface created by rapidly expanding AI infrastructure investments,” said Kristian Kamber, CEO and co-founder of SPLX. “By joining forces, we’ll bring our innovation to one of the most trusted security platforms in the world, securing AI innovation at the speed organizations are adopting it.”

Expanded collaboration makes Falcon Next-Gen SIEM the foundation of EY global cyber managed services for security and non-security data, accelerating AI-driven security transformation for clients

AUSTIN, Texas – November 3, 2025 – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that EY US has selected CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM as the foundational platform powering its global cybersecurity managed services. With Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and EY US managed services experience, enterprises worldwide can accelerate the move beyond legacy security information and event management (SIEM) and modernize security operations at scale.

Adversaries are moving at the speed of AI, scaling attacks faster than defenders can respond. Legacy SIEM, built for a different era, is too slow, noisy, and costly to stop today’s threats. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM delivers real-time speed, efficiency, and outcomes legacy platforms can’t match – and will be further strengthened by CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Onum, a real-time data pipeline platform. 

By standardizing its global managed services on Falcon Next-Gen SIEM for security and non-security data, EY will equip clients with AI-powered protection that moves faster and sees more, enabling organizations to replace outdated SIEM with a modern platform that delivers measurable outcomes at scale.

“The agentic era is accelerating everything, and legacy SIEMs simply can’t cope with threat landscape realities as well as enterprise data proliferation,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “By making Falcon Next-Gen SIEM the foundation of EY US global managed services, we’re helping clients modernize faster and achieve outcomes legacy tools could never deliver.”

Key improvements for clients include:

• Accelerated Migration: EY US professionals will help enterprises move from legacy SIEM to Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, achieving substantial efficiencies and up to 150% faster search.
• AI-Powered, Adversary-Driven Protection: Falcon Next-Gen SIEM unifies CrowdStrike first- and third-party platform data with real-time threat intelligence and AI-powered automation, delivering enterprise-wide visibility and supercharging detection and response.
• Next-Generation Operating Model: EY Managed Services helps clients turn data into a competitive edge by reducing operational burden, increasing cost certainty, accelerating AI adoption, and building smarter operating models that lower risk and unlock strategic value.
• Global Security Operations Center (SOC): The experience of EY US in SOC helps clients strengthen cyber and operational resilience by reducing attack surface exposure, securing digital identity, and managing cybersecurity risks with 24/7 advanced defense across 160 countries.
• Unified Visibility and Scale: CrowdStrike consolidates data into a single platform, delivering complete visibility and massive scale without the cost and complexity of legacy solutions.

“Our clients need security that’s faster, simpler and more effective,” said Tapan Shah, EY Global and Americas Cybersecurity Managed Services Leader. “With EY US as the first mover in building our cyber managed services on Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, we see this as more than a technology upgrade – it’s a strategic move to embrace AI security operations. EY US teams bring deep sector and AI experience, delivering high-impact cybersecurity outcomes that improve operations and efficiency across the enterprise.”
