Zscaler, Inc. has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Red Canary, a top-tier Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider. This strategic move marks a significant expansion of Zscaler’s capabilities into advanced threat detection and AI-powered security operations.
With over a decade of excellence in Security Operations (SecOps), Red Canary has empowered businesses to detect and investigate threats up to 10 times faster—achieving a remarkable 99.6% accuracy rate—while streamlining response workflows through automation. By integrating Red Canary’s MDR expertise with Zscaler’s massive cloud-native data and its AI-driven threat research arm, ThreatLabz, the two companies are set to revolutionize the modern Security Operations Center (SOC).
“This acquisition complements our vision of disrupting legacy SecOps through AI and automation,” said Jay Chaudhry, CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Zscaler. “By bringing Red Canary into the Zscaler family, we’re combining the power of Zero Trust architecture with intelligent, autonomous security operations—creating a fully unified AI-powered SOC of the future.”
Zscaler currently protects nearly 45% of Fortune 500 enterprises and operates the world’s largest cloud security platform, processing more than 500 billion transactions daily. With key innovations such as Risk360, Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX), and Zscaler Exposure Management, the company continues to lead in cloud-native security and AI-enabled risk management.
Red Canary, widely recognized for its MDR leadership, has earned top spots in Forrester Wave™ for three consecutive years and has been continuously listed in the Gartner® Market Guide for MDR for seven years. The company is trusted for its behavioral analytics, automated remediation, and agentic AI capabilities that enable security teams to respond rapidly and effectively to emerging cyber threats across endpoints, identities, networks, and cloud workloads.

“Joining forces with Zscaler allows us to bring our MDR capabilities to a broader audience and innovate even faster,” said Brian Beyer, CEO of Red Canary. “Together, we’re delivering unmatched threat detection, AI-driven response, and a deeper, more holistic view of adversary tactics—equipping organizations with the tools to stay ahead of threats.”
The acquisition is expected to close by August 2025, pending regulatory approvals and standard closing conditions. Once finalized, the integration will offer organizations a comprehensive, AI-driven Zero Trust platform that enhances visibility, response speed, and operational efficiency across the cybersecurity lifecycle.
