This year marks the fifth consecutive year that Zscaler has been recognized as a Leader in the SSE Magic Quadrant and its first year as a Leader in the SASE Platforms Magic Quadrant.
Zscaler, Inc.has been recognized by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in both the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms and the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge (SSE). This year marks the fifth consecutive year that Zscaler has been recognized as a Leader in the SSE Magic Quadrant and its first year as a Leader in the SASE Platforms Magic Quadrant. We believe these results underscore Zscaler’s accelerating market momentum and the proven capability of its Zero Trust SASE framework to safeguard users, devices, workloads, and AI agents wherever they reside.
SSE enables secure, identity- and policy-driven access for the right users to the appropriate internet resources, SaaS platforms, and private applications. SASE extends this protection to branches, campuses, and factories through a unified architecture that simplifies IT operations and eliminates siloed point products. Enterprises with unified SSE and SASE capabilities benefit from reduced operational costs and less management complexity, while effectively eliminating their public attack surface, preventing catastrophic data leakage into public AI engines and securing complex workload-to-workload communications.
“We are proud to be recognized by Gartner as a Leader in both the SASE Platforms and SSE Magic Quadrants. True security in the modern era cannot be achieved by simply spinning up legacy networks or virtual firewalls in the cloud.”
- Jay Chaudhry, CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Zscaler
Built on more than 15 years of cybersecurity innovation, Zscaler’s cloud native Zero Trust SASE platform secures users, sites, cloud workloads, IoT/OT, partners, and AI agents. Within this platform, the new ZAgent Framework will bring agentic AI to SASE management, helping organizations simplify operations, secure every communication, and stop threats before they spread. Today, Zscaler protects 40% of the Forbes Global 2000.
By unifying critical SSE and SASE capabilities under a single architectural platform, Zscaler eliminates the gaps inherent in fragmented legacy networks, enabling threats to be intercepted at machine speed before they can move laterally.
“We are proud to be recognized by Gartner as a Leader in both the SASE Platforms and SSE Magic Quadrants. True security in the modern era cannot be achieved by simply spinning up legacy networks or virtual firewalls in the cloud,” said Jay Chaudhry, CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Zscaler. “In an AI world where threats move at machine speed, organizations need our unique proxy-based architecture to actively de-risk their operations. By brokering connections between users and devices to specific applications, we inspect 100% of encrypted traffic in-line at massive scale to enforce Zero Trust security principles across the entire enterprise without compromising business velocity."
