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.

“Achieving Zscaler MSSP authorization is a testament to Colt’s ability to deliver exceptional managed services to support Zscaler’s AI-powered zero trust platform,” said Anthony Torsiello, SVP, Global Partner Ecosystem, at Zscaler. “The rigorous MSSP program prepares partners like Colt to expertly manage customers’ deployments and help them realize the full potential of zero trust architecture for their business transformation.”- Anthony Torseillo, Senior VP Global Partner Ecosystems at Zscaler

Highlights

Colt is proud to announce that we have achieved Managed Security Services Partner (MSSP) status with Zscaler. This milestone reflects our continued commitment to helping customers achieve better business outcomes through integrated managed networking and security solutions. As we strengthen collaboration with our strategic partners, this recognition marks an important step in Colt's security strategy.

Zscaler has awarded MSSP status to a limited number of partners globally, highlighting the significance of this achievement.With the average cost of a data breach now reaching $4.5 million, organisations are facing growing security challenges. Distributed workforces, multi-cloud environments, SaaS adoption, IoT and OT systems, and the rapid rise of generative AI are all increasing complexity and risk.

As a result, CISOs are under greater pressure to improve security, ensure compliance, and maintain data sovereignty while enabling business agility. Together, Colt and Zscaler help customers address these challenges. By combining Colt's highly resilient, globally connected network with Zscaler's industry-leading Security Service Edge (SSE) platform, organisations can modernise their security architecture, reduce reliance on legacy infrastructure, eliminate unnecessary costs, and better prepare for future threats.

This partnership also gives customers the benefit of a single provider for the design, delivery, and operation of their security services. Our joint solution helps you simplify vendor management, reduce operational complexity, and support a smoother transition to cloud-based security. Whether through managed takeover programmes or by helping customers replace redundant technologies, we can help build compelling business cases for transformation.

Having achieved Zscaler Consultancy Partner status two years ago, Colt has continued to expand its security capabilities and expertise. Achieving MSSP status is another major milestone in that journey and paves the way for a unique security solution that will launch in Q3 2026.
