What Makes Avalor + Zscaler so Special
Only 26 months after the founding of Avalor, we’re getting acquired into Zscaler. But far from an end, this step is the most exciting new beginning we could have hoped for. We’ll continue to operate independently as a complete Avalor team, and we’ll have all the tailwinds of the amazing Zscaler resources behind us. We can’t wait to get going!
Not your typical security acquisition
Security acquisitions happen frequently, but this case is different (and no, not because it’s us who’s getting bought). The typical scenario is that one of the larger security companies buys a startup that did one small thing so that the bigger company can gain a particular technology or get into a slice of the security market they don’t yet serve.
These “point product” acquisitions can be a small technology “tuck in” or can launch a new service or product offering. But rarely do they affect the larger company’s standing in the industry. It might sound a bit boastful, but I’d argue that’s what we have the potential to do in this case.
The Avalor platform is the first of its kind – a Data Fabric for Security™ that lets companies aggregate and correlate their security information to enable continuous risk management. We’re the oddballs in security — that crazy set of data people who hadn’t built security products before. But we recognized that organizations were being held back in their ability to understand and reduce risk because they had no effective means of organizing and extracting deep context out of their security data.
Zscaler has put enormous focus on investing in AI to leverage the wealth of data the company handles — 400 billion transactions a day! By building on the flexible, extensible data model at the heart of the Avalor Data Fabric for Security™, Zscaler now has the opportunity to dramatically advance the state-of-the-art in security insights. Together, we can enrich and contextualize the data across both the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform and the 150+ third-party sources Avalor already supports. By applying the power of AI to this breadth of data, we can help organizations automate security operations across vulnerability discovery and prioritization, attack path and kill chain analysis, and threat remediation and prevention.
No other security company today has data platform capabilities anywhere close to this scale — nor the technical expertise to build them. We firmly believe we can help Zscaler leapfrog its competition in bringing these powerful data correlation and AI capabilities to enable unique security insights for customers.
What an accelerant
As excited as we are for everything we bring to Zscaler, we’re equally excited about what this combination will mean to Avalor. Tapping into the amazing business Zscaler has built gives us an unfair advantage in accelerating our ability to fulfill our mission to organize companies’ security information and make it actionable and useful.
We get instant access to a set of resources it would have taken years for us to develop organically — 7000 customers, 4200 channel partners globally, near-ubiquitous customer awareness, and the validation of a $2 billion business behind us. All on our own, we’ve managed to land an impressive set of Fortune 500 customers — the advocacy and heft of Zscaler means we now move into hyperspeed!
Thanks for the warm welcome!
We want to give huge thanks to the broader Zscaler family for the warm welcome everyone has extended. We're really looking forward to extending the power of our Data Fabric for Security to the incredible datasets available here at Zscaler.
We can't wait to dig in!
