Zscaler highlighted its presence at Black Hat Middle East and Africa 2025, which has been ongoing since December 2 in Malham, Saudi Arabia. The company is showcasing its Zero Trust Exchange platform, demonstrating how Zero Trust Everywhere helps organizations modernize their security architectures and defend against advanced cyber threats.
As digital transformation accelerates, organizations require security approaches that protect distributed users, applications, and devices. Zscaler’s AI-powered platform delivers secure, reliable connectivity while reducing operational complexity and costs. Visitors attending Black Hat MEA explore these solutions at Hall 1 Stand N31, where Zscaler experts conduct live demonstrations throughout the event.
The company is showcasing its AI-powered data security offering, which safeguards sensitive information across cloud, endpoint, and mobile environments. The service combines AI-based discovery, TLS/SSL inspection, and unified policy controls to secure data wherever it travels, addressing new risks that accompany the rapid adoption of AI tools and autonomous systems.
These capabilities align with national initiatives led by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA). By enabling organizations to protect and manage data responsibly, Zscaler supports SDAIA’s vision of positioning Saudi Arabia as a global leader in data-driven innovation and artificial intelligence.
Zscaler also highlights Zscaler Cellular, a key advancement that integrates Zero Trust principles directly into a cellular SIM card. The solution removes the need for traditional agents or VPNs, allowing devices to connect securely to any network while operating in isolated environments to prevent lateral movement. This solution proves especially valuable for sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and energy, where secure and resilient connectivity is essential.
“Zscaler leads the evolution of Zero Trust by securing users and applications, and we now extend that protection to IoT and OT environments,” says Ahmed Al Qadri, Regional Sales Director at Zscaler. “With Zscaler Cellular, organizations strengthen device security, streamline connectivity, and maintain full visibility and control.”
Zscaler experts further demonstrate how the Zero Trust Exchange Platform enhances the security of hybrid workforces and modern workloads. By replacing traditional VPNs and firewalls with direct, secure access to applications, organizations improve performance, enhance user experience, and elevate their overall security standards.
By expanding Zero Trust across users, devices, workloads, and cellular-connected environments, Zscaler helps organizations strengthen cyber resilience and simplify security operations. Its presence at Black Hat MEA 2025 underscores its ongoing commitment to supporting secure digital transformation across Saudi Arabia and the wider region as enterprises embrace cloud, AI, and next-generation connectivity.
