Zscaler launches AI Broker and Endpoint AI Security for AI agents
Zscaler Inc. today unveiled a set of products designed to secure autonomous artificial intelligence agents, with the cybersecurity company claiming it has built the industry’s first complete zero-trust platform for agentic AI.
Announced at the company’s Zenith Live 2026 conference in Las Vegas, the new tools extend Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange platform to cover how AI agents connect to networks, reach enterprise data and run on employee devices. They address a security model that Zscaler argues is breaking down as companies move from human users to software agents that act on their own.
Autonomous agents operate at machine speed, spin up temporary identities, spawn sub-agents and exercise permissions in ways that tools built around known human users struggle to see or control, the company said. That creates gaps in visibility and governance that obscure agent risk and make data flows hard to track.
At the center of the launch are two products. Zscaler AI Broker secures agent-to-agent and Model Context Protocol communications and ships with an agent registry that lets organizations define what each agent is permitted to access. Zscaler Endpoint AI Security targets AI threats on employee devices, reaching into browsers, extensions, plugins and local AI tools that the company said legacy endpoint products were not built to inspect.
