“For the cloud and mobile world of IT, security must be delivered from the cloud.  We are glad to partner with Zscaler to offer a purpose-built security platform to our customers, relieving them of the need to buy, deploy and manage traditional security point products.   Internet Protect Pro, powered by Zscaler, hosted in Deutsche Telekom datacenters, offers unmatched data privacy and security to our German and global customers," explained Dr. Ferri Abolhassan, Director of T-Systems' IT Division and Telekom Security.    
 
"Deutsche Telekom has been on the forefront of enabling cloud transformation at businesses,” said Jay Chaudhry, CEO of Zscaler.   “This partnership will further extend that lead by bringing Zscaler’s extensive cloud security platform to provide Deutsche Telecom’s customers with comprehensive security, visibility and control in an easy to configure and deploy solution.”
 
With Zscaler, Deutsche Telekom is able to offer its customers a cloud-based security solution that includes the following key capabilities:
 
Advanced Security
  • Web security, next generation cloud firewall and sandboxing that ensures that businesses are protected from inbound threats including traditional malware, botnets attacks and APT (advanced persistent threats)
  • DLP (Data Loss Prevention) to monitor and block core intellectual property from leaving a company
  • Enforcement of a company’s Internet access policy to prevent the unauthorised access to locations or applications that could compromise a company’s security posture
 
Comprehensive Protection Across Locations, Users and Devices
With Zscaler’s cloud based security, Deutsche Telekom is able to offer its businesses a high level of security for all their employees no matter where they are – headquarters, branch offices, or working remotely from their homes – and irrespective of the device they use to access the Internet (PC, mobile phone or tablet).
 
Simple, Cost-Effective Deployment and Management
Internet Protect Pro is deployed in the cloud, can be expanded as needed to fit a company’s growing needs and enables the IT organisation to manage security for all its users through the cloud.   This simplifies management, ensures consistent policies across the entire organisation and reduces the overall cost of ownership.
