\u201cWe\u2019re deeply invested in the Middle East\u2019s digital future,\u201d said Saeed Agha, Vice President of Emerging Markets at Zscaler. \u201cOur growing presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a reflection of our commitment to helping organisations adopt Zero Trust architecture at scale while assuring to meet the highest standards of data privacy, sovereignty and operational resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zscaler\u2019s approach is anchored in three core pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Data localisation and customer control: Zscaler adheres to strict Privacy by Design principles. Customer content is not stored, logs are tokenised and encrypted and logging data is retained only as long as necessary \u2013 within preferred geographies <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Transparency and government access: Zscaler maintains a firm stance on transparency. In 2024, the company received 91 government requests for user data and disclosed none \u2013 reinforcing its customer-first data protection philosophy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Built for resilience: Zscaler\u2019s global cloud infrastructure is engineered with multi-layered failover, Disaster Recovery and service continuity, ensuring businesses remain securely connected even during outages or disruptions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 150 data centres globally \u2013 including an expanding footprint in Saudi Arabia \u2013 Zscaler\u2019s Zero Trust Exchange platform enables organisations to securely connect users, workloads and devices across distributed environments, all while reducing risk and complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This latest milestone follows Zscaler\u2019s successful presence at LEAP 2025 and further strengthens its position as the trusted security partner for governments, enterprises and critical sectors across the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
