Updated Sep 3, 2026
Zscaler closes FY2026 with 25% ARR growth and record operating margin, guiding to 16-17% ARR growth in FY2027 as AI security emerges as a durable demand catalyst.
Zscaler delivered FY2026 total revenue of $3.35 billion, up 25% year-over-year, with Q4 net new ARR accelerating to 17% growth excluding Red Canary — a meaningful improvement from 7% in FY2025. The company is pivoting its narrative decisively toward AI security, where Security for AI bookings grew more than 50% sequentially in Q4 and pipeline expanded 75% quarter-over-quarter, signaling early but material monetization of the agentic threat surface. FY2027 guidance of 16-17% ARR growth reflects a deliberate step-down from FY2026's 25% pace, with management citing the sales leadership transition and ramp time for the newly integrated Agentic SecOps platform as first-half headwinds before a second-half acceleration.

We are the cybersecurity platform for the AI era. We empower our customers with the cybersecurity solutions necessary to protect their enterprises, drive growth and outpace competitors where success depends on securely adopting the technologies required to operate and compete effectively in an AI world. We were founded in 2007, based on a vision that, with the broad adoption of SaaS applications, the internet would become the new corporate network, the cloud would become the new data center and perimeter-based security would fail to protect users, applications and data. As AI redefines how businesses operate, and powerful AI-enabled cyberthreats proliferate, enterprises must now adopt a zero trust approach to security. We deliver a comprehensive, cloud-native zero trust platform that minimizes the attack surface of an enterprise and eliminates lateral threat movement, enabling security at the scale and speed of AI. Our Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange security platform is a cloud-native security solution that is purpose-built to securely connect users, devices, workloads and AI agents to applications, AI models and data based on identity and business policy, rather than network location. Our platform was designed from day one on the principles of never trust and always verify. Our cloud-native, multi-tenant architecture is distributed across over 200 public data centers globally and thousands of private sites at the edge, which brings security and business policy close to users, devices, workloads and AI agents in over 185 countries and provides fast, secure and reliable access, while dramatically simplifying operations. Our platform processes over 750 billion transactions, blocks over nine billion policy violations and threats and performs over 250,000 unique security updates per day.
