Zero-trust security leads CrowdStrike and Zscaler’s joint strategy [Video]

As cyber threats escalate in volume and complexity, vendors are increasingly adopting a collaborative, “better together” approach to security solutions. One such alliance, between CrowdStrike Inc. and Zscaler Inc., emphasizes zero-trust security as a critical component in defending against evolving attacks.

This partnership, fueled by customer demand for deeper synergy, has led to the launch of several joint initiatives over a years-long partnership. By combining their cloud-native capabilities, CrowdStrike and Zscaler are paving the way for stronger, bidirectional protection strategies that prioritize securing user data across multiple threat vectors.

“We’re solving really complex problems and there’s about 4,000 different vendors in cybersecurity, which is a lot,” said Daniel Bernard (pictured, right), chief business officer of CrowdStrike. “No single vendor in security does everything. Having an open ecosystem approach where you can bring together best-of-breed [solutions] is really the right strategy … Zscaler solves different problems than CrowdStrike solves.”
