Empowering organisations to protect their network with industry-leading security-as-a-service solution.

Our partnership

What are the benefits of working with Colt as a Zscaler Partner?

Best-of-breed converged security and networking

Colt’s partner for SSE, Zscaler, has been the clear Cloud Security market leader for over a decade, with proven operational experience and the most comprehensive cloud security services in the market.

Empower digital trans-formation to the cloud

The service supports our customers’ digital transformation and migration to cloud services, with data security and access security built-in for each user to any hyperscale cloud or SaaS application, and at the same time supports Zero Trust access to legacy applications.

Zero-impact security trans-formation

Colt experts wrap their arms round our customers for the transformation project, meaning the challenges of moving to cloud security - from complex on-premise deployments and to Zero Trust remote working from traditional risky VPN - is taken care of by Colt.

Our partnership with Zscaler

While Colt and Zscaler have enjoyed a successful collaboration for over a decade, we are now entering a transformative new phase in our partnership. Following Colt’s acquisition of Lumen EMEA in 2023 which brought together industry-leading connectivity and consulting capabilities we have redefined the strategic value of our relationship.

The next stage of our partnership

This enhanced partnership is built on the seamless integration of network and cloud security, combined with focused security consulting and Customer SOC services tailored around Colt’s design, deployment and managed service offerings. Leveraging Colt’s low-latency fibre network and Zscaler’s global edge infrastructure, we are uniquely positioned to deliver improved performance, reliability, and security to our customers.

Looking ahead, our joint focus is driving innovation that delivers measurable value to Colt, Zscaler and the customers we serve - empowering businesses with secure, scalable, and future-ready solutions on their Zero Trust transformation journey.

This partnership underscores both companies' dedication to building customer resilience". - Chuck Wieland, VP of Service Providers at Zscaler
