Zenith Live Encore: How to Build a Resilient Digital Future with Zero Trust and AI

Organizations face unprecedented pressure to push their technological boundaries as AI adoption accelerates and competition intensifies. However, the current pace of AI integration far outstrips the speed in which organizations normally assess and address the risks. As a result, the race between innovation, speed and security is leaving defenders in an increasingly vulnerable position. 

IT security practitioners must enable this new technology’s use - whether public tools or internal deployments - while establishing reasonable guardrails that ensure visibility and robust data security assessments. Organizations are urgently seeking best practices to navigate AI-driven transformation. Extending Zero Trust principles to regain visibility and control of all data streams is now more critical than ever.

As companies rethink how employees safely consume generative or agentic applications, they must also apply Zero Trust to their broader ecosystem of suppliers, partners, and B2B integrations. Modern supply chains increasingly share data, applications, and now AI models - creating a new attack surface if not properly secured.

That’s why Zscaler’s Zenith Live event series is returning in its one-day roadshow format across Europe - turning AI insights into action. The events will showcase how a cloud-based approach to Zero Trust Everywhere can help security practitioners reduce risk, complexity, and cost in the new technology era. Zscaler experts will reveal how AI and Zero Trust are converging to redefine networking and security, fuelling rapid digital transformation and building resilient, mission-critical infrastructures to safeguard today's business aspirations. 

Participants will discover how a cloud-centric Zero Trust approach is redefining security to protect every connection, from users and workloads to IoT, OT, branches, and even AI. Security practitioners, IT architects, or networking professionals will gain practical insights and tools to drive real transformation, learning from their peers how to reset boundaries  in the pursuit of digitalization while carefully managing cybersecurity risks. Zscaler experts will be on hand to share the latest strategies to minimize attack surfaces, eliminate lateral movement and prevent data loss. 

Following the recent SPLX acquisition, attendees will get first-hand insights at how this addition to the Zero Trust Exchange platform will extend shift-left AI asset discovery, automated red teaming, and governance - helping organizations secure their AI investments from development through deployment. We’re also bringing back industry panels and fireside chats, offering attendees the opportunity to learn from industry leaders and network with their peers.

Agentic AI – Friend or Foe?

As part of the agenda, we will also be speaking with Zscaler customers at different stages of their Zero Trust transformation journey. Panellists from leading private and public organizations will share their learnings in a ‘fireside chat’ - helping others who wish to take that first step towards a Zero Trust architecture. Having overcome their own implementation challenges, they’ll offer insights and guidance to make Zero Trust a reality. 

New this year: a panel on the emergence, adoption and security of Agentic AI. Zeki Turedi, Field CTO at Crowdstrike, and Rob Hale, Principal Security Segment Leader at AWS, will debate whether Agentic AI is a friend or foe - and underline the importance of retaining control over critical digital infrastructure, redefining data governance, and unlocking innovation securely.
