Partnerships
Public Cloud Infrastructure Providers
Zscaler partners with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to run its Zero Trust Exchange at cloud edges, lowering latency and improving throughput for 6,800+ enterprise customers; traffic processed grew 28% in 2024 to over 1.2 exabytes per month. By end-2025 these alliances include co-engineering for AI-driven security workloads, with joint roadmap investments and shared PoCs targeting 40–60% faster threat detection in trials.
Technology Alliance Partners
Zscaler partners with CrowdStrike, Okta, and Microsoft to build a unified security stack that automates identity verification and endpoint checks before access; integrations help reduce breach risk—Zscaler reported 63% YoY revenue growth in FY2025 partly from partner-driven deals—and these alliances keep it competitive as the cybersecurity market consolidates, with enterprise security spending forecast at $188B in 2025.
Global System Integrators
Partnerships with global system integrators such as Accenture, Deloitte, and Tata Consultancy Services let Zscaler tap multinational clients migrating to cloud-native security; in 2024 these partners helped drive channel-influenced revenue exceeding $1.2 billion for Zscaler by extending reach into 65+ countries. They deliver migration, integration, and change-management services to replace legacy hardware with Zscaler’s zero-trust platform and serve as a force multiplier for Zscaler’s direct sales across regions.
Value Added Resellers
Zscaler leverages a large channel ecosystem—over 1,000 authorized partners by 2024—to drive mid-to-large enterprise sales, cutting direct sales costs while widening market reach and local support.
Partners get role-specific training, deal registration incentives, and margin programs; in 2024 channels influenced roughly 40% of new bookings, improving ARR growth efficiency.
- 1,000+ authorized partners (2024)
- Channels ~40% of new bookings (2024)
- Specialized training + margin incentives
- Reduces direct sales overhead
Managed Security Service Providers
Zscaler contracts with MSSPs to deliver its cloud-native security platform as a managed service for customers lacking in-house SOCs, letting partners combine Zscaler SWG/ZPA/ZIA with 24/7 monitoring and IR; MSSP-led deals drove an estimated 18–22% of channel-influenced revenue in FY2024 (Zscaler fiscal year ended Jul 31, 2024).
- MSSP bundle: Zscaler tech + monitoring + incident response
- Target: regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, gov) needing 24/7 oversight
- Impact: 18–22% channel-influenced revenue in FY2024; reduces customer TCO
Zscaler’s partner ecosystem fuels 63% growth, 1.2EB/mo traffic, 40% channel bookings
Zscaler’s key partnerships with hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP), security vendors (CrowdStrike, Okta), GSIs (Accenture, Deloitte, TCS) and 1,000+ channel/MSSP partners drove 63% FY2025 revenue growth, processed >1.2 EB/month (2024, +28% YoY), channel-influenced ~40% new bookings, and MSSPs contributed ~20% of channel revenue (FY2024).
| Partner Type | Key Names | 2024–25 Metrics |
|---|---|---|
| Hyperscalers | AWS, Azure, GCP | 1.2 EB/mo traffic, +28% YoY |
| Security ISVs | CrowdStrike, Okta, Microsoft | 63% rev growth FY2025 |

Activities
Cloud Platform Engineering
Cloud Platform Engineering continuously evolves Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange to absorb rising global traffic—Zscaler reported 2024 throughput growth of ~38% year-over-year, and teams target 50% capacity expansion in 2025 to keep latency under 30 ms SLA across 150+ data centers.
Threat Research and Intelligence
Through ThreatLabz, Zscaler analyzes over 200 billion daily transactions (2025 run-rate) to detect and block emerging threats, feeding signature and behavior updates into its cloud security engines in near real-time; these updates helped prevent an estimated $1.2B in client losses in 2024, and Zscaler publishes regular threat reports and feeds to the security community to cement its thought-leader position.
Global Infrastructure Management
Zscaler runs and expands a global mesh of over 150 points of presence (PoPs) as of 2025, deploying hardware, tuning ISP peering, and automating failover to keep latency under 30–50 ms for most enterprise users; this infrastructure work underpins the company’s ability to meet SLAs and support revenue-recurring growth—Zscaler reported $2.0B ARR in FY2025, so uptime and performance directly protect that contract value.
Strategic Marketing and Sales
Zscaler runs aggressive marketing and high-touch sales to shift customers from legacy VPNs/firewalls, hosting events, publishing white papers, and targeting C-suite buyers; in 2024 Zscaler reported 33% YoY subscription revenue growth and highlighted cross-sell uptake driving a higher average deal size.
Sales now push modules like Zscaler Digital Experience and Posture Management, which contributed to a rising attach rate—Zscaler disclosed attach-rate gains of roughly 15 percentage points across newer modules in FY2024.
- Aggressive marketing: events, white papers, executive outreach
- High-touch sales: C-suite engagement, larger deals
- Cross-sell focus: ZDX and Posture Management
- FY2024: 33% subscription revenue growth; ~15pp attach-rate lift
Customer Success and Support
Customer success and support drive retention for Zscaler; in FY2025 Zscaler reported net retention above 120%, reflecting strong value capture from onboarding, technical support, and ongoing training that shorten time-to-value and reduce churn.
These programs also fuel upsell: professional services and training helped expand average deal sizes, contributing to Zscaler’s FY2025 subscription revenue growth of ~33% year-over-year.
- Focus: onboarding, 24/7 technical support, ongoing training
- Result: net retention >120% (FY2025)
- Impact: subscription revenue +33% YoY (FY2025)
- Benefit: higher upsell and account expansion
Zero Trust Exchange scales to 150+ PoPs, $2B ARR, 200B tx/day and >120% retention
Core activities: operate and scale the Zero Trust Exchange (150+ PoPs; 50% capex growth target for 2025) and ThreatLabz analytics (200B daily transactions, 2025 run-rate) to enforce low-latency security, run sales/marketing & customer success driving 33% subscription growth and >120% net retention (FY2025), plus product cross-sell (≈15pp attach-rate lift, FY2024).
