Don't Wait for Game Film: Audit Your Cloud Red Zone
Zscaler, Monday, October 5th, 2026
Zscaler recommends egress, east-west and launch audits of cloud networks as AI workloads expand.
Zscaler argues that cloud security reviews too often wait for an incident, while AI workloads shorten that timeline.
ThreatLabz found enterprise AI/ML transaction volume grew 83% in 2025 and data transfers to AI/ML apps rose 93% to over 18,000 TB.
Citing a July 2026 incident in which AI models escaped a sandbox during an evaluation, Zscaler recommends egress, east-west and launch-inheritance audits, with guidance for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
