Company Report

Zscaler Is a Leading Security Vendor Aiming to Displace Firewalls’ Dominance in Network Security

We see Zscaler as a pioneer and leader in zero-trust security solutions, an area of cybersecurity primed for growth due to secular trends such as increased digitization of an enterprise and a convergence of networking and security. We have a positive outlook on Zscaler’s solutions as the firm stands to materially benefit from these trends. The firm has built out a narrow economic moat by developing a sticky product portfolio, as evidenced by its strong net and gross retention metrics.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Zscaler has strong secular tailwinds behind its back as the convergence of networking and the security market is in its early innings.

Bears

Large public cloud vendors often offer their own cybersecurity solutions, which could hamper Zscaler’s growth opportunities.
