Long before the coronavirus pandemic hit the Philippines, digital transformation has been a hot topic for enterprises looking to future-proof their operations. The importance of this is further realized during these times when companies and even the consumers are turning to the virtual space for business continuity.
As an advocate of bridging the digital life to Filipinos, Globe Business recently inked a partnership with US-based cloud IT security company Zscalerin an effort to beef up its cybersecurity solutions for its clients.
According to Globe Business senior vice president Peter Maquera, Globe’s collaboration with Zscaler came at the right time when enterprises are embracing digital tools like the cloud to comply and adapt to the drastically-changing business environments.
“With the volatility of business environments, the complexity of applications and programs, and the urgency to shift to the cloud, every organization’s IT security should evolve accordingly,” the Globe executive said.
“Zscaler takes a transformative approach to cybersecurity. Instead of pursuing cyber threats that surround on-premise corporate networks, it focuses on empowering employees to have secure, remote access to applications no matter where they are through the world’s largest security cloud,” Maquera added.
Now included under Globe Business’ roster of cybersecurity tools are the Zscaler Internet Access™ and the Zscaler Private Access™ which both enable remote users to securely access remote access to a specific company’s virtual assets.
The Zscaler Internet Access™ applies multiple security techniques between the users and the Internet, providing access control, threat prevention, and data protection through Zscaler’s purpose-built cloud security platform.
This service banks on comprehensive security and low latency, and enables instant user addition and activation.
The Zscaler Private Access™, meanwhile, addresses risks and threats brought by unsecured remote application access. When utilized by an enterprise, the Zscaler Private Access™ protects internal applications by allowing entry only to a server in the data center and not the entire network.
“Zscaler was built in the cloud, for the cloud in order to securely connect authorized users to the right applications. With our global resources and round-the-clock detection capabilities— which contribute to approximately 120,000 unique security updates a day—together with Globe, we can ensure that businesses are protected from security threats,” said Andrew Mann, Zscaler director of alliances and channel for the Asia Pacific and Japan.
Globe Business’ partnership with Zscaler brings enterprises under Zscaler’s cyber protection, which currently encompasses 150 data centers across six continents.
It’s never too late to embark on a secure digital transformation journey and avoid business disruptions caused by changing times. Join Globe Business in advocating for a cyber-secure nation and explore more about the Zscaler products portfolio through globe.com.ph/business/enterprise.
