Introducing the modernized Client Connector UI.

Introducing the modernized Client Connector UI. > introducing the modernized Client Connector UI. Since the very beginning, the Zscaler Client Connector has been a cornerstone of the zero trust architecture that Zscaler, Inc. provide to customers. It's the endpoint agent that ensures user traffic flows through the Zero Trust Exchange for least-privileged access to any destination. By and large, customers have been very happy to use Client Connector and its breadth of innovative functionality. But Zscaler, Inc. has heard all of your feedback: the end user interface looked outdated, it felt complex and confusing, and it needed to accommodate your company's branding so that your users could know that it was deployed by your IT team. So, Zscaler, Inc. is excited to introduce the modernized Client Connector UI, delivering a cleaner, simpler, and more intuitive experience that is designed with your end users in mind. The new UI experience for Client Connector strips away the noise and minimizes the chances of end users getting confused. Instead of surfacing complex technical details by default, users now get instant, clear feedback on the status of their Zscaler services - all at a glance. But that doesn't mean that Zscaler, Inc. has taken anything away; users who need to dig into advanced details can still do so, and anyone who wants to fall back to the classic UI to troubleshoot an issue can still do that, too. Additionally, Zscaler, Inc. has added optional custom branding so that your organization can tailor Client Connector to match your internal applications and give employees a seamless, consistent experience across your entire tech stack. Alongside the new UI, Zscaler, Inc. is also introducing granular notification control - a long-requested capability that puts administrators in control of the notifications that their end users receive. Previously, notifications were categorized and controlled entirely by Zscaler, leaving customers unable to determine which alerts their end users would see and which they would not. Now, from a single admin portal, you can configure the visibility and persistence of each individual notification across solutions and across categories like service status, app update, and more. Not to mention, you can have different settings for each of the different supported operating systems. The result is far greater control over the experience in your specific environment, and dramatically reduced notification noise for end users. That means less friction for admins and better quality of life for users - and that's the power of the modernized Client Connector UI. If you're ready to explore the new, better-than-ever experience for Client Connector, reach out to your Zscaler account team and request access to the Client Connector 5.0 release.

Zscaler previews Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5.1 in Endpoint AI Security tool

Zscaler, a US cloud cybersecurity company, said on October 12, 2026, that it is offering a limited preview of Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5.1 in its Endpoint AI Security product. The model is meant to help security teams analyse AI activity on managed employee devices and identify potential attack paths. Endpoint AI Security records AI agent activity and enforces policies, while Mythos powers Exploit Paths, a feature that connects evidence and identifies possible attack sequences. Security teams can then use endpoint controls to block risky commands or access to sensitive data. Deployment may raise workplace privacy and compliance questions. In the US, agencies have scrutinised AI-driven employee monitoring, and legal advisers have recommended clear notices and governance safeguards.

Zscaler shares have climbed 56% in three months, against a 2.8% gain for the S&P 500, though they remain down 26% over twelve months.
