  • •The collaboration addresses the rapid exploitation of vulnerabilities by attackers.
  • •Zscaler's Autonomous Application Shield offers real-time protection during patch cycles.

Zscaler has partnered with IBM and Red Hat to enhance the security of private applications during the critical period between vulnerability disclosure and patch deployment. This collaboration integrates Zscaler's Autonomous Application Shield with IBM and Red Hat's Lightwell to provide adaptive, application-specific protection. The partnership aims to address the increasing speed at which attackers exploit newly disclosed vulnerabilities, as highlighted in Mandiant's M-Trends 2026 report, which states that the mean time to exploit vulnerabilities has fallen below zero. This means vulnerabilities are often exploited before patches are available. The solution is designed to offer inline protection and validated remediation, ensuring organizations can respond to threats in real time. Zscaler's Autonomous Application Shield is currently available through an Early Access Program, and the collaboration is expected to provide immediate protection while fixes are being developed.
