How Our Agents Work

Our AI agents dynamically interact with data and systems to execute a specific job based on real-time inputs and context. Powered by AI models like LLM, these agents adapt their behavior based on tasking – a massive upgrade from rigid automated workflows.

Our Approach

Our AI agents are different:

Most AI agents chase breadth at the expense of reliability. Our AI agents are specialized, focusing on a narrow set of tasks that they perform flawlessly.

  1. Imbued with a decade+ of real-world security operations experience
  2. Guided by narrowly-scoped, expert-crafted standard operating procedures
  3. Managed and tuned by elite human operators
  4. Continuously optimized with feedback and new intelligence

FAQs

Zscaler MDR customers already have expert AI agents working on their behalf. We are actively exploring pricing and packaging models, alongside MCP server options, for future customers looking to access these AI agents directly.

Our AI agents are trained on 11+ years and counting of high-fidelity threat detection, investigation, and incident response data and industry-leading security operations workflows. The richness and reliability of the training data is what contributes to a 99.7% threat accuracy rating and rapid responses times when they collaborate with our human experts.

Data utilized by our AI agents never leaves controlled infrastructure for processing, storage, training or any other reason. Your data is (1) not available to other customers, (2) not available to third parties, (3) not used to train external AI models, and (4) not used to improve any third-party products or services. The underlying AI models do not interact with other external services, such as ChatGPT.

We solicit customer feedback–’thumbs up, thumbs down’ on outputs–in our product and manually review all off-target feedback. We also continuously measure the impact of AI agents on our accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of threat notifications. We only use AI agents to the extent that they benefit our overall performance for our customers.

We validate trustworthiness of AI agent performance via extensive functional testing in which all outputs that vary beyond 10% of our ideal output are manually inspected. And as mentioned in the prior question, we continuously measure the impact of AI agents on our accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of threat notifications. We only use AI agents to the extent that they benefit our overall performance for our customers.
