Zscaler's Expanded Cybersecurity Pact with CrowdStrike Can't Boost Stock into Top 500 Trading Volume Rankings

On August 20, 2025, Zscaler (ZS) closed at a 0.41% decline, with a trading volume of $0.29 billion, ranking 368th in market activity. The stock's performance came amid a broader market dip, though it lagged behind the S&P 500’s modest gains.

Zscaler announced an expanded collaboration with CrowdStrike, integrating its Zero Trust Exchange platform with CrowdStrike’s Falcon system to enhance endpoint security. The partnership, facilitated through Red Canary (a Zscaler subsidiary), aims to streamline threat detection and response by combining AI-driven analytics and cloud-native zero-trust capabilities. This move is positioned to modernize legacy security infrastructure for clients, offering a unified solution to address evolving cyber threats.

The partnership underscores Zscaler’s strategic focus on AI-powered security ecosystems, aligning with CrowdStrike’s strengths in endpoint protection. By leveraging Red Canary’s managed detection and response (MDR) services, the collaboration seeks to improve operational efficiency and threat mitigation for enterprises. Analysts suggest the integration could strengthen Zscaler’s competitive edge in the cloud security sector, though the stock’s recent decline indicates mixed investor sentiment ahead of earnings reports.

A backtesting strategy involving the top 500 stocks by daily volume from 2022 to 2025 yielded a total profit of $2,385.14 as of the latest data, reflecting moderate returns with periodic fluctuations.
