Zscaler and Amazon Web Services have signed a strategic collaboration agreement for secure GenAI adoption, combining Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange platform with AWS offerings such as Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker to help government agencies, healthcare organizations and educational institutions deploy generative artificial intelligence capabilities while maintaining security, compliance and governance requirements. Under the strategic collaboration agreement, Zscaler said Tuesday it will combine its Zero Trust Exchange platform with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, and the companies will work together on integrations, reference architectures and joint go-to-market efforts to help organizations move generative AI initiatives from pilot programs to production environments. As part of the agreement, Zscaler and AWS will conduct pilot programs, customer workshops and field engagements focused on secure AI adoption across the public sector. The companies outlined three primary focus areas: secure access to generative AI applications and data; protection for AI development and deployment workflows; and centralized visibility, governance and audit readiness.
