Background
Zscaler is a US cloud-security company that built a growing Israeli footprint through three acquisitions — Trustdome (2021), Canonic Security (2023) and Avalor (2024, ~$350 million as reported) — and has run an Israeli development center since 2021, hiring through its subsidiary Zscaler Israel LTD. These are commercial technology deals and R&D operations; no corporate donation to the Israeli government or military is documented, and Zscaler is not a prominent target of boycott campaigns.

Timeline of documented records
Documented records
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | 2021-04 | — | Trustdome Ltd. (Israeli cloud-security startup) Acquired Israeli cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) startup Trustdome; Globes reported that no financial details were disclosed, and that with this deal Zscaler opened its first development center in Israel. The only reported price, about $40 million, comes from one newsroom: Ynetnews, Calcalist's English sister title, gave it in 2024 under a Calcalist reporter's byline. Geektime's April 2021 round-up carried the same figures ($3 million raised, sold for $40 million) as an unlinked one-line note under a 'March 2021 exits' heading, naming no buyer or source, so it is not a second witness. | |
| Acquisition | 2023-02-14 | — | Canonic Security Ltd. (Tel Aviv SaaS-security startup) Second Israeli acquisition: bought Tel Aviv SaaS application-security startup Canonic Security (founded 2020, ~30 employees, all of whom joined Zscaler). Zscaler did not disclose the price, and Geektime's February 2023 exits round-up said the sum was not reported. The figure of about $50 million appeared a year later in Ynetnews's recap of Zscaler's Israeli deals, bylined to Calcalist reporter Meir Orbach, and in Calcalist's own recap — sister titles in one group, not two independent reports. | |
| Acquisition | 2024-03-13 | $350,000,000 | Avalor Technologies Ltd. (Ramat Gan data-security startup) Third Israeli acquisition: bought Ramat Gan security-data-fabric startup Avalor (~80 employees, founded by Raanan Raz and Kfir Tishbi) for approximately $350 million, mostly in cash, as reported by Globes and Calcalist; Zscaler did not officially disclose the amount. Geektime, which interviewed co-founder Kfir Tishbi, independently reported the same $350 million and that all 80 employees would continue as an independent unit inside Zscaler. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2021 | — | Israel (R&D center, jobs and tax base) Operates an Israeli R&D presence: opened its first development center in Israel in 2021 following the Trustdome acquisition, expanded it through the Canonic and Avalor teams, maintains a Tel Aviv office with active engineering hiring, and lists 'Zscaler Israel LTD' as a subsidiary in its FY2025 10-K. |
