Zscaler Acquires SquareX to Fortify Zero Trust Platform

Dow Jones02-06

By Emon Reiser

Zscaler has acquired SquareX for an undisclosed amount with the goal of increasing browser security for its Zero Trust Platform users.

The San Jose, Calif., cloud-security company, whose Zero Trust platform offers an alternative to virtual private networks (VPNs), said the acquisition will allow users to embed lightweight extensions into any browser, without compromising on security and possibly eliminating the need for third-party browsers.

"With SquareX, Zscaler will extend the same level of uncompromising security to unmanaged devices, enabling organizations to secure users within their preferred browser - such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge - without the need for a full agent or the limitations of a separate, third-party browser," the company said.

SquareX's integration with Zscaler will allow IT decision-makers to replace "expensive, insecure" legacy access tools and better protect data using artificial intelligence, SquareX founder Vivek Ramachandran said in a news release.
