On May 21, Zscaler announced its intent to acquire Symmetry Systems, Inc. in a bid to map and secure AI Agent Communication. The company emphasized that Symmetry Systems’ access graphs provide the foundational visibility security teams need to govern AI agent communication with applications, data, and one another at scale. It added:

“The access graph works by ingesting enterprise-wide access logs from SaaS applications, public cloud services, data stores, and AI systems, using AI to correlate them into an access graph displaying which identities are accessing which data and how. Combined with the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, this visibility will become the foundation security teams use to build and enforce the policies governing how AI agents communicate with applications, data, and one another.”

Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZS) is a cloud-based enterprise security provider that helps global businesses adopt zero trust for secure digital transformation.
