Zscaler’s Deepen Desai: AI is now default enterprise accelerator

Zscaler's Chief Security Officer Deepen Desai discusses the company's ThreatLabz 2026 AI Security Report, which revealed that enterprise AI adoption has surged by up to 93% year-over-year, yet 100% of tested AI environments remain vulnerable to breaches that can occur in as little as 16 minutes.

The report highlights a dangerous shift toward "machine-speed" threats, where attackers use generative AI to automate data exfiltration and create sophisticated deepfakes. To combat these risks, the report urges organizations to move beyond simple blocking and instead implement a Zero Trust architecture for safe, AI-native data protection.
