Singtel, Asia’s leading telecommunications technology group, announced a strategic partnership to offer Zscaler’s security solutions in Asia, a first for the region.
Enterprises in the APAC region will now have seamless access to Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange™, a cloud-based platform, through Singtel’s Managed Security Service Edge (MSSE) suite of services, which includes pre-sales to post-sales support from dedicated cybersecurity experts as well as resources such as platform consultation, build implementation, maintenance and round-the-clock threat mitigation.
As the rate of enterprise digitalisation continues to accelerate at an unprecedented pace, so does the risk of cyber threats. According to the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, 2022 saw a heightened cyber threat environment worldwide, with cyberattacks becoming more prevalent and sophisticated in nature. Against this backdrop, Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange™, a platform that implements Zero Trust principles which assert that no user or application should be trusted by default, strengthens the digital security of enterprises by implementing strict controls and verification mechanisms. Through this partnership, Singtel’s MSSE offers businesses impacted by insufficient in-house resources or skillsets an all-in-one digital security solution that helps to protect their digital assets against cyber threats.
