Linhagem da Zscaler, Inc.
Bet that security belonged in a global cloud rather than an appliance, then bought one capability a year to fill the platform out.

Founded 2007 in San Jose, California as Zscaler by Jay Chaudhry.
A cloud-delivered secure web gateway, at a time when the answer to web security was a proxy appliance in every office. The architectural claim was that if every user's traffic already leaves the building, the inspection point should be in the cloud rather than backhauled to a data centre.
Founded by Jay Chaudhry, who had already built and sold several security companies before this one - SecureIT, CipherTrust, AirDefense and CoreHarbor among them. Zscaler was self-funded from those exits, which is why it took outside money late and listed on NASDAQ only in 2018.
