Zscaler Announces $100 Million Investment

Round Led by TPG
SAN FRANCISCO, CA and SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - August 03, 2015) - Zscaler,
Inc., the Internet security company, today announced the closing of a new round of
financing led by TPG. Zscaler is being funded with an aggregate of $100 million. TPG
invested in Zscaler, alongside existing investors EMC and Lightspeed Ventures, who
also contributed to the round. As part of the new investment, Nehal Raj, Partner at TPG,
will be appointed to the Zscaler Board of Directors.
"Our mission is to make the Internet safe for business by delivering an amazing security
platform that protects our clients and enables the strategic adoption of cloud computing,
mobile devices and the Internet of Things," said Jay Chaudhry, CEO of Zscaler. "The
investment and partnership from TPG and the global relationships and experience they
provide will enable us to accelerate investment in our technology, grow our customer
base and aggressively scale our business to meet growing demand. We are excited to
join an elite group of security companies valued in excess of $1 billion."
Today, thousands of enterprises and government organizations, including United Airlines,
Humana, NBC and National Health Services of the UK, are protecting more than 13
million employees with Zscaler, securing more than 15 billion Internet requests and
stopping more than 100 million cyber-threats per day. Zscaler provides the only Internet
security platform built as a multi-tenant, distributed cloud service designed to scale and
deliver real-time insights into security issues. Gartner recognized Zscaler as a Leader in
its Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways report for the fifth consecutive year and
Forrester Research named Zscaler a Leader in The Forrester Wave: SaaS Web
Content Security, Q2 2015.
"As one of the premier financial service companies in the world, we are actively adopting
new technologies to increase our agility and productivity, reduce expenses and provide
better service to our employees and our clients," said Henry Jiang, Chief Information
Security Officer at Oppenheimer & Co. "Working with Zscaler, we've greatly improved our
security, reduced expenses by more than 90 percent in certain areas and provided a
better and safer Internet experience for our employees. We congratulate Zscaler on this
important milestone and look forward to working with them long into the future."
"We see tremendous opportunity in the rapidly-growing cybersecurity industry, and after
spending significant time in the space, we found Zscaler to be the leading cloud-based
security solution for the world's largest and most demanding customers -- a true SaaS
platform like that of Salesforce or Workday," said Nehal Raj, Partner at TPG. "We are
looking forward to partnering with Jay and his team to accelerate growth, most
immediately by introducing Zscaler to the potential customers and channel partners
