Jay Chaudhry (Cybersecurity / Zero Trust) at Zscaler — San Jose, United States

Jay Chaudhry founded Zscaler in 2007, pioneering the zero-trust security architecture before the concept had a name. A serial entrepreneur who previously founded and sold four companies — AirDefense, CipherTrust, CoreHarbor, and SecureIT — Chaudhry bet on cloud-delivered security a decade before it became mainstream. Zscaler went public in 2018 and is now the leading pure-play zero-trust security company. A first-generation immigrant from a small Indian village, he is an inspiring story of self-made success.
