Power Players with Brian Sozzi15 Sep 2025

Zscaler CEO warns that AI could spark new cyberattacks

The talk of the past year in tech has centered on what’s coming next for AI. From digital agents to powerful new models, there has been much to discuss and a ton of change. At the same time, one would be crazy to discount the impact of AI; equally important as this is the companies working on technology to protect themselves from their creations.Enter cybersecurity player Zscaler (ZS), led by founder and CEO Jay Chaudry. Chaudry has one of the hottest tech stocks of the past five years — up close to 100% — amid strong demand for security projects. Chaudry is now doubling down on the business, spending nearly $700 million to buy Red Canary to branch out into additional defense services. The move makes perfect sense as cyber threats continue to accelerate aggressively.
