Zscaler unveils ZAgent Framework to automate zero-trust SASE operations
Zscaler Inc. today unveiled a major expansion of its zero-trust SASE platform, adding an agentic framework that lets administrators manage the system through natural-language prompts and extending its protection to unmanaged devices, business partners and multicloud workloads.
The announcements were made at the company’s Zenith Live 2026 conference in Las Vegas, where Zscaler on Tuesday introduced a set of products for securing autonomous AI agents. Together the releases mark a push to fold AI into both how Zscaler defends enterprises and how those enterprises run security operations.
At the center of the SASE expansion is the ZAgent Framework, which orchestrates Zscaler’s various platform agents to automate configuration, troubleshooting and policy work. Administrators interact with ZAgent through natural-language prompts in the Zscaler Experience Center rather than legacy management consoles. One of the first agents built on the framework is a Zscaler Digital Experience agent that diagnoses the root cause of end-user problems such as Wi-Fi, internet service provider or device issues and remediates them before they escalate.
