Zscaler

Zscaler committed to reducing its worldwide workforce by approximately 3% while reallocating resources to support AI and growth initiatives. The company framed the action as resource reallocation, not direct replacement of employees by AI.

• · Zscaler's Form 8-K explicitly links the workforce reduction and resource reallocation to additional capacity for AI and growth initiatives.
• · The company disclosed an approximately 3% worldwide reduction and more than 8,700 employees as of July 31, 2026; the approximately 261-role figure is a reported estimate derived from those disclosures, not a company-published absolute count.
• · The filing expects $30 million to $33 million in primarily severance and benefit charges, supporting that this is a concrete workforce action rather than a general efficiency target.
• · The affected geographies and roles were not disclosed; US is listed because Zscaler is headquartered in California and filed the action there, while the reduction itself is worldwide.
