Zscaler (ZS) faces increasing opportunities amid the emerging presence of artificial intelligence as enterprises face an accelerating volume of breaches, RBC Capital Markets analysts said in a note emailed Wednesday.

Customers acknowledge an urgent need for guardrails to deploy AI reliably but lack confidence in their current security capabilities, creates a favorable backdrop for Zscaler, analysts said.

The company believes it is well-positioned to deal with cybersecurity threats in the AI era, as its platform is built on a highly differentiated architecture unlike traditional security systems, RBC noted.

Analysts said that Zscaler's cloud security platform is well positioned to disrupt $20 billion of legacy security spend today, implying a total addressable market of over $72 billion.

RBC kept its outperform rating and $200 price target on the stock.
