Jay Chaudhry Says AI Is Driving More Demand for Cybersecurity at Zscaler
TL;DR
Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry said AI is creating a major tailwind for the cybersecurity industry rather than reducing the need for software security. He argued that CEOs, CIOs, and boards want to use AI for productivity and cost savings, but are worried that new AI models could create vulnerabilities, lead to breaches, or cause applications to be hacked or hijacked. He speaks with Scarlet Fu & Kristine Aquino on "The Close. " (Source: Bloomberg).
Nauti's Take
For security teams this is an opportunity, because AI projects are currently making it easier to get budget approved for hardening, access control, and monitoring. The limit sits in the source, since a Zscaler CEO has a direct commercial interest in rising security demand.
The claim becomes useful only with your own data: check which AI deployments actually open new attack surface before allocating budget to a market narrative.
