Westcon-Comstor says that it has become the first distributor in the world to earn Zscaler Partner Delivery Specialisation in data security across both sales and deployment.

The recognition highlights Westcon-Comstor’s dedication to delivering cutting-edge zero trust solutions and securing sensitive customer data across all environments.

The Zscaler Partner Specialisation programme validates partners with advanced technical expertise and a proven ability to implement Zscaler’s unified, AI-powered data protection solutions.

By securing data security specialisation in both sales and deployment in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Westcon-Comstor has achieved a global industry first in distribution.

In doing so, the distributor has demonstrated its commitment to equipping channel partners and their customers across the region with intelligent data security that follows users, applications and cloud services everywhere.

With Zscaler’s advanced platform, Westcon-Comstor helps partners combat data loss, simplify operations, strengthen security, and ensure compliance, even in complex AI-driven environments.

“Data security is more important than ever, so to see our technical expertise and delivery capabilities recognised by Zscaler is very rewarding,” said Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President, Westcon EMEA Go-To-Market at Westcon-Comstor. “We are particularly proud to mark the industry first within distribution in EMEA. As a trusted distribution partner of Zscaler, we will continue to drive adoption of Zscaler’s data protection solutions, unlocking growth opportunities for channel partners in the process.”

“Partners like Westcon-Comstor are instrumental in delivering modern data security solutions that adapt to today’s rapidly changing digital landscape,” said Anthony Torsiello, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Partners and Alliances at Zscaler. “Their achievement ensures customers can trust their expertise in deploying Zscaler’s data protection capabilities to secure data everywhere it resides.”
