The introduction of remote work, constant use of collaboration tools, digitization of personal records, mainstreaming of digital payments, and the daily exchange of company and customer data over the Internet are only some of the factors that should make cybersecurity a priority for organizations across the Philippines.

In line with this, Globe Business joined the Zscaler Summit Partner Program to help companies drive their digital transformation, as business activities take a dramatic shift online.

Zscaler serves nearly 4,000 customers across all major industries, including over 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies.

“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,” shares Peter Maquera, senior vice president for Globe Business. “This is why our partnership with Zscaler is very timely in helping businesses transform their cybersecurity approach, so they can focus on educating and empowering employees with secure, remote access to applications through the world’s largest security cloud.”
