Gen AI’s integration
The introduction of new AI capabilities comes by leveraging NVIDIA’s AI software portfolio, namely NVIDIA NIM inference microservices, NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails, and the NVIDIA Morpheus framework.
These will be aimed at increasing the ability to process data from Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange platform.
This integration of additional AI analysis on the vast amounts of data flowing through its global security cloud can enable more proactive threat detection and enable Zscaler ZDX Copilot’s ability to defend against cyber threats and simplify IT and network operations.
Data processing capabilities enabled by Zscaler’s collaboration with NVIDIA are crucial for implementing a robust zero trust security model. This is because zero trust relies on continuously verifying the identity, context, and risk associated with every access request before granting access, meaning analysing vast amounts of data signals in real-time to establish trust dynamically.
“With the integration of NVIDIA’s AI software portfolio, Zscaler’s ZDX Copilot can now provide developers the security and protection needed to detect cyber anomalies and accelerate IT safety,” Pat Lee, VP of Strategic Partnerships at NVIDIA said.
The Zscaler ZDX Copilot, announced only last month, is a first-of-its-kind digital experience monitoring tool that provides insights into network, device, and application performance, enabling simplified IT support and operations at scale.
The Nvidia NeMo Guardrails, a critical component of the ZDX Copilot, safeguards organisations by overseeing generative AI systems potential risks associated with their outputs.
Additionally, NVIDIA’s NIM microservices will facilitate efficient and scalable generative AI inferencing to allow Zscaler to deploy state-of-the-art Gen AI models and multi-modal capabilities across its data protection suite, leveraging the power of local large language models (LLMs).
Zero trust’s AI future
By combining their respective expertise in Zero Trust security and cutting-edge AI technologies, the two tech giants can go on to redefine the boundaries of cybersecurity innovation, and in particular, layered solutions to help implement zero trust, a concept that is gaining increasing currency in today’s threat landscape.
Through the integration of AI-powered copilot technologies, predictive and Gen AI solutions, and advanced data processing capabilities, Zscaler and NVIDIA are finding a way to keep the concept of zero trust alive on large networks.
