Zscaler Showcases Cutting-Edge Solutions at Black Hat Middle East and Africa 2025
Zscaler has made a significant impact at the ongoing Black Hat Middle East and Africa 2025 conference, being held in Malham, Saudi Arabia since December 2. The company is primarily showcasing its innovative Zero Trust Exchange platform, a crucial tool for organizations aiming to modernize their cybersecurity defenses against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Meeting the Demands of Digital Transformation
As businesses undergo rapid digital transformation, there is a pressing need for security measures that can effectively protect users, applications, and devices scattered across various locations. Zscaler’s platform leverages artificial intelligence to provide secure and dependable connectivity. This approach not only simplifies security management but also significantly reduces operational costs.
Attendees at Black Hat MEA can see Zscaler’s solutions in action at Hall 1 Stand N31, where company experts are performing live demonstrations throughout the event. This hands-on experience allows participants to understand how Zscaler’s offerings can fit into their existing security frameworks.
Advanced Data Security Solutions
Among the key highlights is Zscaler’s AI-powered data security solution, designed to protect sensitive information across cloud, mobile, and endpoint environments. This service integrates AI-driven discovery with TLS/SSL inspection and unified policy controls. By securing data regardless of its location, Zscaler addresses the emerging risks associated with the fast adoption of AI technologies and autonomous systems.
This focus on data security aligns seamlessly with initiatives from the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA). Zscaler’s capabilities enable organizations to manage and safeguard their data effectively, which supports SDAIA’s vision of making Saudi Arabia a frontrunner in data-driven innovation and artificial intelligence.
Introducing Zscaler Cellular
Another key feature presented at the event is Zscaler Cellular, which brings Zero Trust principles directly into cellular SIM cards. This innovation eliminates the need for traditional VPN solutions and agents, ensuring that devices can securely connect to any network. This is particularly beneficial for industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and energy, where resilient and secure connectivity is vital to operations.
Ahmed Al Qadri, Regional Sales Director at Zscaler, emphasizes the importance of this solution: “Zscaler leads the evolution of Zero Trust by securing users and applications, and we now extend that protection to IoT and OT environments. With Zscaler Cellular, organizations can strengthen device security, streamline connectivity, and maintain full visibility and control.”
Enhancing Security for Hybrid Workforces
Zscaler experts are also demonstrating how the Zero Trust Exchange Platform can fortify the security of hybrid work environments and modern workloads. By substituting traditional VPNs and firewalls with direct access to applications, organizations can enhance performance and user experiences while bolstering overall security standards.
This comprehensive approach allows organizations to safeguard a broad range of elements, from users and devices to workloads and cellular-connected environments. As a result, Zscaler is empowering organizations to enhance their cyber resilience and simplify security operations.
Commitment to Secure Digital Transformation
Zscaler’s presence at Black Hat MEA 2025 underscores its unwavering commitment to facilitating secure digital transformation not only within Saudi Arabia but across the wider Middle East region. As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud services, AI technologies, and advanced connectivity, Zscaler is poised to play a vital role in shaping the future of cybersecurity.
