Zscaler, Inc. announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the “2025 Security Service Edge Magic Quadrant.” This year, Zscaler set the bar by excelling beyond all other vendors, placed highest on the ‘Ability to Execute’ axis.
SSE enables secure, identity- and policy-driven access for the right users to the appropriate internet resources, SaaS platforms, and private applications. The report calls out key SSE market drivers such as VPN replacement, Zero Trust networking, and SaaS adoption and GenAI security, stating: “Gartner estimates that SaaS is the largest cloud revenue generator and that it will grow at a compound annual rate of over 15% through 2028.”
Leveraging over 15 years of cybersecurity innovation and insights from thousands of CIOs and CISOs, Zscaler enhances this approach with Zero Trust Everywhere. By expanding the SSE platform beyond user access, Zscaler enables organisations to streamline their IT operations through a unified, cloud-native SSE platform designed to safeguard their entire enterprise.
