COI edit request: Add sources for the Bickley Founder's Award

I am Yehuda Kahane, the subject of this article, as disclosed on my user page. Per WP:COI, I am requesting changes here rather than editing the article directly.

The article's first sentence states that I am "the 2011 recipient of the John S. Bickley Founder's Award for his contribution to the theory, practice, and education of insurance and risk management" and is currently tagged with {{citation needed}}.

I would like to request that the {{citation needed}} tag be replaced with the following two independent sources, which verify the claim:

1. A news article in TheMarker (Israeli financial daily, part of the Haaretz group), published 22 November 2010, reporting that the International Insurance Society awarded me the John S. Bickley Founder's Award, noting it was the first time the award was given to an expert from Israel:

2. The official list of John S. Bickley Founder's Award recipients published by the International Insurance Society, which lists "Yehuda Kahane, Tel Aviv University, Israel (2011)":

No change to the article text itself is requested – only the addition of these references in place of the existing {{citation needed}} tag.

Thank you for your time. YehudaKahane (talk) 14:04, 13 July 2026 (UTC) YehudaKahane (talk) 14:04, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

BLP/BLPCRIME concern: Epstein section

Disclosure: I have a personal connection to the subject and a conflict of interest, so I am not editing the article directly. I'm raising this here for independent editors. I am not being paid.

I have two policy concerns about the "Epstein Controversy" section and propose a more neutral version. I am not asking to remove the material entirely.

1. WP:BLPCRIME and sensational quotes. The section quotes "owes him two girls" and "make it up to him in Paris". These lines strongly imply involvement in serious criminal conduct. Sturm has not been charged with or convicted of any offence, and the emails are described in the sources only as "allegedly" between her and Epstein. Per WP:BLPCRIME, WP:BLPSTYLE and WP:UNDUE, reproducing these specific quotes gives the matter undue weight for a living person facing no charges. The encyclopedic facts can be stated neutrally without the most damaging phrasing.

2. Section heading (WP:CSECTION). Standalone "Controversy" headings are discouraged. I suggest merging this content into the "Private life" section rather than keeping a dedicated heading.

Proposed wording (to sit within "Private life"):

In 2026, following the release of emails from the Epstein files by the US Department of Justice, NRC Handelsblad reported a 2012 email exchange said to involve Sturm and Jeffrey Epstein. Sturm described her contact with Epstein as "naive" and a "serious error of judgement".

This keeps the reliably sourced facts and her own public response, while removing quotes that are unduly sensational and imply uncharged criminal conduct. Happy to discuss and defer to consensus. Thanks. TMeijer86 (talk) 09:35, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

BLPCRIME prevents "...any article that suggests (an unconvicted person) has committed, is suspected of, is a person of interest in, or is accused of having committed a crime." What is it about those emails, in particular, that suggests Sturm has committed, is suspected of, is a person of interest in, or is accused of having committed a crime? When ready to proceed with your answer, kindly switch the request template's answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n.  Spintendo  07:09, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for engaging. Here is the BLPCRIME concern. Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex trafficker. The quoted exchange has him saying Sturm "owes him two girls", with her reported reply that she "will make it up to him in Paris". To an ordinary reader that implies Sturm was involved in procuring or supplying girls to Epstein, in other words complicity in sex trafficking. That is a serious crime. Sturm has never been charged with, arrested for, or convicted of any such offence, and the sources themselves describe the emails only as "allegedly" hers. By reproducing those specific quotes, the article suggests to readers that she is a person of interest in, or complicit in, criminal conduct. That is precisely the implication WP:BLPCRIME asks us to avoid for unconvicted individuals.

Even apart from BLPCRIME, the same change is supported by WP:BLPSTYLE, which cautions against sensationalism, and by WP:UNDUE. The direct quotations are disproportionate to the encyclopedic significance of this episode for the subject.

To be clear, I am not asking to suppress the matter. The proposed wording keeps the reliably sourced facts: that NRC Handelsblad reported a 2012 email exchange said to involve her and Epstein, and her own public response describing it as "naive" and "a serious error of judgement". It removes only the sensational quotes and the standalone "Controversy" heading. I will switch the template to |ans=n as suggested. Thanks again. TMeijer86 (talk) 09:24, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Young Democratic Socialists of America

Proposed updates to lead, infobox, and early history

I am an active YDSA member, so I am requesting review rather than editing the article directly.

I would like to propose a first set of limited changes to the article’s lead, infobox, and early history section. The article currently has citation and primary-source tags, and some claims in the early history section are either unsourced or broadly phrased. These changes add clearer citations and narrow some wording that is currently unsourced or broadly phrased.

The main changes are:

• Update the lead to state that the organization was founded in 1982 as the Democratic Socialists of America Youth Section, changed its name to Young Democratic Socialists in 1997, and adopted its current name in 2017.
• Update the infobox with leadership and citations.
• Revise the 1980–2000 section to better source the organization’s early anti-apartheid, Central America, labor, anti-sweatshop, and prison-divestment activity.
• Replace the unsourced or under-sourced “citation needed” language with citations to Joseph Schwartz’s DSA history, the DSA Fund’s YDSA history, NYU archival records, Phoenix New Times, The Temple News, and Prison Legal News.

I have tried to keep the language neutral and to avoid adding any promotional claims. I am posting this in parts so editors can review each proposed change separately.

Proposed infobox update:

Please add the following leadership lines and update the membership line:

Zelle

Updating Criticism section and incorporating Regulatory action and fraud concerns content

Hey again! I was wondering if editors would consider updating the Criticism section of this article. I understand that, as a COI editor, my perspective has some bias, but I've tried to put together a coherent and well-sourced section draft that describes all the relevant criticism Zelle has faced over the past few years. My draft incorporates some content from the Regulatory action and fraud concerns section, which I think should be folded into the Criticism section. Here is my draft:

Criticism draft

Zelle has received negative publicity related to reports of scam and fraud where the service is used as a payment method, particularly where consumers are tricked into sending money by bad actors using social engineering tactics. A 2025 Reuters report identified major social media platforms as a significant source of this kind of payment fraud and account compromise. Zelle's member banks are required by law to reimburse consumers for transactions that are performed without the consumer's authorization, such as when their bank account is hacked. In 2023, Zelle announced that it would start reimbursing consumers for certain types of scams involving authorized transactions, such as when scammers impersonate government officials or a customer's bank.

In September 2022, Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Zelle executives at a Senate Banking Committee hearing for a lack of refunds in claimed fraud cases and insufficient responses to requests for statistics.. This criticism came shortly before Warren released a report on fraud and reimbursement practices. In 2025, 99.98% of Zelle transactions were completed without report of fraud or scam.

In December 2024, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) filed a lawsuit against Early Warning Services (EWS), the operator of Zelle, along with three banks: Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo. The lawsuit alleged these entities failed to protect consumers from fraud and scams. The CFPB dropped this lawsuit in March 2025.

In August 2025, New York Attorney General Letita James filed a separate lawsuit with claims similar to the CFPB lawsuit. Zelle responded by claiming that the attorney general's office had not thoroughly investigated the company.

I know I'm asking for a significant restructuring and revision of the article, so I welcome feedback from non-COI folks. I think what I've put together is good and makes for a better encyclopedia article, but I defer to the judgment of independent editors. Happy to field comments or questions below!

Hey, User:Spintendo! I've built a little side-by-side comparison of the existing content (on the left) and my draft (on the right). As a reminder, I'm asking to fold the Regulatory action and fraud concern section into the Criticism one, which is why content from that section is included in the comparison below:

Current sections vs. draft

−

The Zelle service has received negative publicity due to fraud incidents where bank customers’ accounts were compromised through [[social engineering (security)|social engineering]] tactics. In these cases, fraudsters set up Zelle accounts in the victims’ names and used them to transfer funds out of the victims’ accounts, often leaving the victims with limited practical or legal options for recovery. In one case, a Florida man pled guilty to defrauding victims of $250,000 by convincing them to make payments using Zelle to reverse purported fraudulent transactions. In some cases, bank customers have been compensated by the banks involved, depending upon the bank and its policies and the specifics of the incident. Banks may use secondary confirmation methods such as [[one-time password#SMS|SMS]] or otherwise place limits on newly created accounts and transfers to recently added recipients as a preventive measure. Shortly before releasing a critical report, Senator [[Elizabeth Warren]] criticized Zelle executives at a September 2022, Senate Banking Committee hearing, both for lack of refunds in cases of fraud, and lack of response to requests for statistics. In December 2024, the [[Consumer Financial Protection Bureau|Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)]] filed a lawsuit against Early Warning Services (EWS), the operator of Zelle, along with three major banks: Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo. The lawsuit alleges that these entities failed to protect consumers from widespread fraud on the Zelle network.The lawsuit alleges that customers of the three named banks lost over $870 million to fraud throughout Zelle's seven-year history, claiming that the banks and Early Warning Services (EWS) rushed the platform to market without sufficient safeguards to better compete with rivals like Venmo and CashApp. Despite hundreds of thousands of consumers filing fraud reports, the suit contends that these individuals were largely denied help, as banks reportedly failed to conduct proper investigations or provide the legally mandated reimbursements for fraud and errors.The CFPB sought to stop the alleged unlawful practices, secure redress and penalties, and obtain other relief. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra stated that the banks' failure to implement proper safeguards made Zelle "a gold mine for fraudsters".The CFPB dropped the lawsuit in March of 2025.

I hope this illustrates what I'm looking to achieve. I think a line-by-line justification for every single change I'm suggesting would be unreadable, but my main goals with this draft are :

1. To consolidate existing content so that the section is easy to follow
2. To add relevant context to existing claims (e.g. Zelle reimbursing customers targeted by certain types of scams)
3. Removing claims that are either irrelevant (e.g. the Florida man anecdote) or unsourced (e.g. the longish paragraph about the CFPB's allegations)

I think a holistic approach is the best one for improving this section, since it's kind of a mess as-is, but perhaps I should break this request down a bit, see if I can lay it out in multiple parts. Please let me know what you think! Thanks, EB at EW (talk) 18:24, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

It seems that I’m making some kind of mistake with the side-by-side comparison that should be appearing in the post above. When I test it out using the Show Preview function, it looks fine, but then I hit publish and the code breaks. Apologies for junking up the Talk page; I’m just trying to help editors better understand my request. If anybody can help me out with either the request or the technical issues I’m running into, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks! EB at EW (talk) 19:19, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

• What I think should be changed:

The introduction to this page is short and doesn't contain much descriptive information about what the company does.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a more in-depth introduction to this page:

Zscaler, Inc. (/ˈziːˌskeɪlər/) is an American multinational cloud security company headquartered in San Jose, California. The company provides cloud-delivered cybersecurity services based on a zero trust model, including zero trust network access, data protection, and features to address AI security risks.

Zscaler’s core platform, the Zero Trust Exchange™, is based on zero trust principles and includes AI-driven cloud security functionality. The company offers AI security products such as continuous AI risk governance, protection of generative AI usage, and AI workload security.

According to VentureBeat, Zscaler has positioned growth in AI adoption as a core driver of demand for its AI security platform offerings. The company has also established partnerships with large language model developers, including Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber program, with the stated goal of proactively identifying AI-driven vulnerabilities and security risks.

Zscaler's product development in AI-driven threat prevention was recognized when it received the 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year Award for Security.

• What I think should be changed:

The "History" section is fairly short and could benefit from some additional information. It would also be easier to read if the sentences were broken up into smaller paragraphs.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a suggested update to the "History" section. It includes the original information in the article, with a few small additions to add updated information and improve the reading experience:

Zscaler was founded in 2007 by Jay Chaudhry and K. Kailash. The company launched its cloud native cybersecurity platform in 2008. The platform was designed to provide cloud-based security without on-premises appliances.

In August 2012, Zscaler raised $38 million in a Series A funding round. In August 2015, the company raised a $100 million Series B round led by TPG, which pushed the company’s valuation above $1 billion.

In March 2018, the company had an initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker ZS, during which it raised $192 million.

In August 2018, Zscaler made its first post-IPO acquisition by acquiring TrustPath's AI and machine learning technology in addition to the startup’s development team. Zscaler then acquired the browser security firm Appsulate in May 2019.

Zscaler stock was added to the Nasdaq-100 index on December 17, 2021.

In 2023, at its Zenith Live conference, Zscaler announced new AI security capabilities. Then, in January 2026 the company released the Zscaler AI Security Suite, which included functionality to discover, secure, and govern AI usage for enterprises.

Zscaler was named a Leader in the inaugural Forrester Wave for Security Service Edge Solutions in 2024. In May 2025, Gartner named the company a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge for the fourth consecutive year.

• What I think should be changed:

The current section titled "Zero Trust Exchange" could be expanded with additional information that clearly explains what the company sells. Right now, the heading title "Zero Trust Exchange" doesn't make it immediately clear that it's discussing Zscaler's products, so this edit is suggesting that the "Zero Trust Exchange" heading gets renamed to "Products", with the "Zero Trust Exchange" information nested under the new "Products" section. This new structure should help readability, and the additional information will help add to the depth of the page's information.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a suggested update of the current "Zero Trust Exchange" section:

Products

Zscaler develops AI-driven cloud security products that provide secure access to internet, cloud, and private applications for enterprise users and devices.

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform applies zero trust access controls by brokering connections between users, devices, and workloads and the applications or data they are authorized to access. The platform is positioned as an alternative to traditional VPN-based remote access and firewall-centric architectures.

The company’s offerings are commonly used to support distributed workforces and to help organizations implement secure access service edge (SASE) and zero trust security architectures.

Zero Trust Exchange Platform

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange is a cloud-based security platform that provides security controls as a service. The platform sits between an entity (including users, workloads, IoT/OT, and AI agents) and the resources (including public and private clouds, applications, the internet, and SaaS applications) that entity is trying to access.

Under this model, security decisions are made centrally using organizational policies and contextual signals, such as identity, device security posture, and location. Those policies are then applied to traffic regardless of where applications or users are located.

The Zero Trust Exchange inspects and governs traffic while reducing security risks associated with having direct network access to corporate environments. It applies threat protection, enable data controls, and log activity for monitoring and compliance purposes.

Zscaler positions this approach as a way to limit lateral movement of threat actors, simplify connectivity for hybrid and remote workers, and move security functions to the cloud.

• What I think should be changed:

Because the "Zero Trust Exchange" or "Product" sections of this page are currently light on detail, I'd like to suggest adding more content to those sections to help explain what products Zscaler develops and sells. This should make the page more valuable for readers.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a suggested addition to the current "Zero Trust Exchange" or "Product" section of the page:

AI Security Capabilities (Note: this bolded title would make sense as a subsection that's nested under "Zero Trust Exchange" or "Product" section)

Zscaler develops and sells an AI security platform focused on identifying AI threats, classifying sensitive data, and enforcing AI policy controls. The platform’s machine learning capabilities analyze security telemetry, identify anomalous behavior, and provide automated responses for security teams.

Zscaler has introduced features to improve visibility and control over AI application usage, including inspection of user interactions and data protection controls to reduce exposure of sensitive information. Recent acquisitions such as Avalor, Red Canary, and SPLX brought new technologies to Zscaler’s data integration, detection, and AI lifecycle security capabilities.

Data security (Note: this bolded title would make sense as a subsection that's nested under "Zero Trust Exchange" or "Product" section)

Zscaler’s data security capabilities are cloud-delivered controls that discover, classify, and prevent unauthorized exposure of sensitive information when users and workloads access the internet, third-party SaaS applications, and private applications. The company offers data loss prevention (DLP) and related policy enforcement functions, which can inspect traffic and apply rules to reduce the likelihood of data exfiltration.

Zscaler has developed new technologies and acquired companies to expand its SaaS security posture management, cloud data security, and other data protection offerings.

Zscaler’s Data Security Posture Management offering gives visibility into where sensitive information is stored within an enterprise’s systems, how that information is accessed, and which users or applications have access to that information.

Zscaler’s DSPM product is positioned as a component of the company’s broader AI security product offerings, which manage risks associated with employee and application use of AI technologies.

The company’s DSPM technology supplies data inventory and risk context that enterprises can use to inform governance controls for AI security use cases including limiting exposure of sensitive data to AI tools, monitoring data flows to and from AI applications, and applying policy controls to reduce the likelihood of data leakage from AI application usage.

• What I think should be changed:

It would be helpful to add a new section directly above the "Acquisitions" section called "Artificial intelligence and AI security." Because AI and AI security are relevant topics within the cybersecurity industry, it would be useful for readers to have information about Zscaler, AI, and AI security in this article.

• Why it should be changed:

Here is a proposed section to add to the page:

Artificial intelligence and AI security Zscaler’s platform uses machine learning–assisted analytics to correlate telemetry and generate security insights across user, device, and application activity.

The company introduced generative AI features to support security operations workflows, including natural-language interaction and automation capabilities. Zscaler has stated that data integration initiatives such as its Data Fabric for Security are used to improve analytics and prioritization across security datasets.

For generative AI applications, Zscaler provides visibility into application usage and applies policy enforcement to reduce data leakage and other AI misuse risks. These capabilities support discovery and governance of AI tools, inspection of AI-related traffic, and policy actions that can restrict access or limit the sharing of sensitive information in AI prompts and responses.

Zscaler’s AI risk management strategy has been supported by acquisitions and research initiatives focused on AI lifecycle security. The company has cited the acquisitions of Canonic Security, Avalor, and SPLX as opportunities to expand the Zscaler platform’s capabilities related to application governance, data integration, and AI security assessments.

Zscaler publishes AI-focused threat research through its ThreatLabz team.
