Zscaler has signed a distribution agreement with Malaysia-based LinkAxia Networks, expanding access to its Zero Trust Exchange security platform through the distributor’s partner network as the company targets growing cybersecurity demand in the country.
For LinkAxia’s network of resellers and solution providers, the agreement expands access to Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange platform, creating opportunities to address customer demand for cloud security, secure remote access, and data protection.
The partnership also extends Zscaler’s distribution reach in Malaysia, particularly among public-sector and government-linked organizations.
Zscaler expands zero trust distribution in Malaysia
Through this agreement, LinkAxia Networks will offer the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform to its network of partners and their clients to deliver enhanced cybersecurity protection. Its aim is to address the increasing complexity of cyberattacks.
“We are excited to partner with LinkAxia Networks as an authorized distributor of Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange platform in Malaysia,” said Anthony Torsiello, SVP, WW Partners and Alliances, at Zscaler. “As we continue to expand our presence in Malaysia, Zscaler’s partnership with partners like LinkAxia Networks is crucial in ensuring our growing customer base has the support needed to strengthen their Zero Trust strategies.”
LinkAxia Networks operates primarily across Southeast Asia and is headquartered in Malaysia.
It’s noted that many organizations across Malaysia’s public sector and GLC landscape are managing a growing mix of remote users, cloud, and SaaS applications, sensitive data, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Partnership targets cloud security and remote access
The platform enables secure access to private applications without exposing them to the internet, cloud-delivered security for internet and SaaS traffic, and enhanced protection for sensitive data across web, cloud, and AI applications.
The agreement also comes not long after Zscaler announced a new data center in Kuala Lumpur in January 2026.
For channel partners, these capabilities provide several potential entry points into customer security discussions, from replacing legacy remote-access infrastructure to securing SaaS applications and reducing data exposure. Partners with consulting and implementation capabilities could also use those projects to develop broader zero trust modernization engagements.
Malaysia’s cybersecurity requirements drive demand
The move will help organizations, particularly NCII entities, address relevant areas of the National Cyber Security Baseline (NCSB), including Zero Trust architecture, access control, data protection, and network security, as they enhance cyber resilience within Malaysia’s cybersecurity regulatory framework under the Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854).
“As Malaysia advances towards its AI Nation aspirations, cybersecurity must evolve alongside the way people work and deliver public services. The introduction of Hybrid Workday (HBH) Policy across the civil service reflects a new way of working – one where users, applications, and data need to be securely connected from anywhere, not just from within the traditional office perimeter,” said Eugene Cheang, Business Director at LinkAxia Networks.
“Our partnership with Zscaler brings proven Zero Trust capabilities to Malaysia’s Public Sector and GLCs, enabling organizations to embrace this transformation with greater confidence while strengthening cyber resilience for the future,” Cheang added.
The regulatory environment could also create opportunities for security-focused channel partners to help customers assess existing access controls, implement zero trust architectures, and strengthen data protection practices.
For partners serving Malaysia’s public sector and government-linked companies, the agreement adds another technology option for addressing those requirements.
