Direct Defence Contracting & Procurement

Zscaler, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, Nasdaq-listed parent entity with principal executive offices in San Jose, California 1.

No public evidence identified of a Zscaler contract, tender award, framework agreement, or memorandum with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Israel Defense Forces, Israel Prison Service, Border Police, or another Israeli security body.

No public evidence identified that Zscaler appears in accessible Israeli defence-procurement records or defence-export directories in connection with an Israeli state contract.

Zscaler’s March 2026 announcement states that Zscaler Internet Access received a U.S. Department of War Impact Level 5 provisional authorization, which is evidence of a U.S. defence-oriented cybersecurity offering rather than an Israeli contract, authorization, or end use 2.

Dual-Use Products & Tactical Variants

Zscaler describes its authorized Zscaler Internet Access offering as supporting defence users, including “warfighters,” bases, coalition networks, and expeditionary environments 2.

The described functions concern network security, access control, inspection, and data-loss prevention rather than targeting, fire control, weapons integration, or another kinetic-effect capability 2.

No public evidence identified of an Israeli-specific ruggedised, tactical, military-specification, contract-modified, or purpose-built kinetic military Zscaler product variant.

Zscaler’s Avalor acquisition announcement describes Avalor’s product as a security-data fabric for enterprise data integration, vulnerability identification, and threat prevention, without identifying an Israeli military, security, settlement, or weapons-system end user 3.

Heavy Machinery, Construction & Infrastructure

Zscaler’s disclosed business is cloud cybersecurity rather than heavy machinery or construction 1.

No public evidence identified of Zscaler equipment or services being used for settlement construction, demolition, the separation barrier, checkpoints, military installations, or other physical infrastructure in occupied territory.

No public evidence identified of construction, engineering, facilities, or infrastructure-maintenance contracts involving Zscaler and Israeli security bodies.

Supply Chain Integration with Defence Primes

Zscaler’s fiscal-2025 filing identifies research-and-development centres in Israel, alongside centres in India, Canada, and Spain 1.

The filing does not identify the Israeli R&D location, employing entity, customer base, or defence work 1.

Zscaler acquired Israel-incorporated Avalor Technologies Ltd. on 8 March 2024 for reported purchase consideration of $256.7 million and stated that it planned to integrate Avalor’s technology into its cloud platform 4.

Zscaler acquired Israel-incorporated Canonic Security Technologies Ltd. in February 2023 and states that it integrated Canonic’s technology into its cloud platform 1.

A 2023 Zscaler filing listed Zscaler Israel Ltd. and Canonic Israel Ltd. as wholly owned Israeli subsidiaries and stated generally that group subsidiaries conduct sales and marketing or R&D in their respective jurisdictions 5.

STKI’s August 2024 Israeli IT market study lists Internet-Bynet and We-Ankor as selected Israeli integrators/providers for Zscaler SASE 6.

The integrator evidence establishes commercial integration channels but does not identify an Israeli defence-prime, Ministry of Defense, IDF, settlement, or occupied-territory customer 6.

No public evidence identified of components, subsystems, co-production, licensed manufacturing, joint development, or technology-transfer arrangements between Zscaler and Elbit, IAI, Rafael, IMI/Elbit Land, or another Israeli defence prime.

Logistical Sustainment & Base Services

No public evidence identified of Zscaler contracts for Israeli military base services, telecommunications support, transport, fuel, catering, maintenance, waste management, freight forwarding, or military cargo logistics.

Zscaler’s documented offering concerns cloud-delivered cybersecurity and data-access functions rather than physical sustainment or logistics services 1, 2.

Munitions, Weapons Systems & Strategic Platforms

No public evidence identified that Zscaler manufactures, integrates, maintains, or supplies lethal platforms, munitions, missile-defence systems, strategic weapons platforms, or critical weapons subsystems for Israeli forces.

Available product evidence concerns cybersecurity, network security, access control, inspection, and data-loss prevention rather than systems designed to generate targeting decisions or weapons effects 2.

The disclosed Avalor technology concerns enterprise-security data integration, vulnerability identification, and threat prevention, without a described targeting or weapons-effect capability 3.

Export Licensing, Regulatory & Legal History

No public evidence identified of a government decision granting, denying, suspending, or revoking an export licence for Zscaler products supplied to Israeli military or security end users.

No public evidence identified of sanctions, arms-embargo enforcement, export-control enforcement, litigation, judicial review, OECD National Contact Point proceedings, or ICC/ICJ filings concerning a Zscaler defence-supply relationship with Israel.

The reviewed corporate records identify Israeli R&D activity and acquired Israeli technology companies, but do not identify Israeli security-body customers or defence work 1, 4.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Documented Investigations

The bounded document review found no Zscaler mention in the UN Special Rapporteur’s A/HRC/59/23 report, a document-specific result that does not establish database-wide or sector-wide absence 7.

The bounded review also found no Zscaler mention in the OHCHR’s 2025 settlement-business database update, which is likewise limited to the reviewed document 8.

No public evidence identified of a published civil-society investigation, boycott or divestment campaign, institutional exclusion, or corporate response specifically alleging Zscaler Israeli defence-sector activity.

Zscaler’s 2025 proxy identifies Jay Chaudhry as co-founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chair, and identifies a nine-member board as of 1 November 2025 9.

The proxy reports Jay Chaudhry as beneficial owner of 16.8% of shares and Ajay Mangal, as trustee for trusts benefiting Chaudhry family members, as holder of 18.2%, while the document does not itself describe Israeli, defence-industry, military, settlement, political, or charitable activity by those trusts 9.
