Partnership advances Alithya's quest to
develop cyber security solutions and expertise across
all business segments
MONTREAL, Dec. 14,
2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Alithya Group inc. (TSX:
ALYA) (NASDAQ: ALYA) ("Alithya") is pleased to announce its
partnership with Zscaler, leveraging the world's largest
cloud-native cyber security platform to assist its clients in being
more agile, efficient, resilient, and secure as they accelerate
their digital transformation projects. This partnership enhances
Alithya's integrated cyber security offer that covers the entire IT
value chain.
As companies see a continued adoption of SaaS applications and
public cloud environments along with the move toward using the
Internet as the corporate network, Zscaler's cloud native Zero
Trust Exchange platform protects customers against cyberattacks and
data loss by securely connecting users, devices, and applications
in any location. Zscaler's innovative workload segmentation
strategy stops threats from moving laterally, simplifies operations
with policy automation, and improves visibility. As a result,
streamlined and centralized cyber security architecture eliminates
the need for legacy VPNs and filters. The Zscaler platform is also
easily scalable to protect thousands of users at once, regardless
of their locations.
Expanding the security perimeter
Zscaler is the future of networking in the cloud, providing full
inspection of all network layers as a comprehensive security
solution for both users and applications. In addition to the
platform already being adopted by 25% of Fortune 2000 companies,
Zscaler solutions are deployed with two of Alithya's largest
clients as a preferred solution of the financial services and
insurance sector.
Zscaler is a Gartner market leader in Security Service Edge
(SSE) Magic Quadrant. In 2022, Zscaler was positioned as the vendor
with the highest ability to execute among the 11 vendors qualified
by Gartner to be evaluated in the report.
Quote by Jérôme Tétreault, Alithya's Director of
cybersecurity, Client Services:
"With thousands of workers remaining remote and increasing
cloud adoption, a patchwork of legacy security solutions is no
longer sufficient protection against an ever-increasing array of
security risks. Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange platform provides us
with a comprehensive solution that fits seamlessly into our
strategy to provide our customers with an integrated cyber security
offer that covers the entire IT value chain. To deliver on this
objective, Alithya is providing in-depth cyber security training to
its professionals across all IT specialities."
