Artificial intelligence is having a major impact on the cybersecurity world, with both positive and negative implications. While AI enables more sophisticated defenses against emerging threats, attackers are also leveraging it to create advanced and targeted exploits designed to evade traditional defenses. This AI arms race makes zero trust principles—based on the premise of “never trust, always verify” before granting any access—increasingly important. In this interview, Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry discusses the shifting cybersecurity landscape in the AI era, and how a zero trust architecture provides a more robust, context-aware security solution. How do you envision AI shaping the future of cybersecurity? Jay Chaudhry: Technology changes all the time, but major developments come every 20 or 30 years and fundamentally disrupt many of the things we’re doing. AI is one of those changes, especially with generative AI. From a cybersecurity viewpoint, AI has pros and cons. On the one hand, i
