LinkAxia Networks signs distribution agreement with Zscaler

LinkAxia will be offering the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform to its partner network and their clients to deliver enhanced cybersecurity protection.

LinkAxia Networks has signed a new distribution agreement with Zscaler. The Malaysian-based regional value-added technology distributor hopes the partnership will help address the increasingly sophisticated threat challenges organizations are facing in the country.

According to Anthony Torsiello, SVP, WW Partners and Alliances, at Zscaler, LinkAxia Networks will be an authorized distributor of Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange platform in Malaysia. This includes enabling Zscaler's Zero Trust capabilities to help organizations enable secure access to private applications without exposing them to the internet, cloud-delivered security for internet and SaaS traffic, and stronger protection for sensitive data across web, cloud and AI applications.

"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,” Torseillo said.

In January 2026, Zscaler announced a new data center in Kuala Lumpur, strengthening local capacity, performance and resilience for customers in Malaysia. Together, these capabilities can 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 strengthen cyber resilience within Malaysia's cybersecurity regulatory framework under the Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854).

Eugene Cheang, Business Director at LinkAxia Networks explained that 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," Cheang said.

"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,” he added.

LinkAxia will be offering the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform to its partner network and their clients to deliver enhanced cybersecurity protection. The distributor will focus on public sector organizations and GLCs that are reviewing VPN replacement, Internet and SaaS security, data protection, AI security or Zero Trust initiatives.

The value-added distributor specializes in cybersecurity, enterprise networking, cloud and digital infrastructure solutions across Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Brunei. Working closely with leading global technology vendors, system integrators and channel partners, LinkAxia delivers best-in-class technologies backed by technical consultancy, solution design, proof-of-concepts, implementation guidance and post-sales enablement.
