PartnerConnect ‘26: Celebrating Partner Excellence Across APJ

At Zscaler, we believe that world-class technology only realizes its full promise through an extraordinary partner ecosystem. Our partners are the architects, advisers, and builders who help organizations modernize their environments and embrace the future with confidence.

We recently completed our Zenith Live tour across the Asia-Pacific and Japan region, connecting with leaders across Tokyo, Sydney, Mumbai, and Singapore hosting our APJ PartnerConnect 2026 series. Across every conversation, roundtable, and session, one theme stood out: when we combine our AI Security platform built on Zero Trust with the localized domain expertise and ingenuity of our partners, we unlock genuine business resilience for our shared customers.

Solving Complex Challenges, Side by Side

The pace of technology adoption across APJ is inspiring. Enterprises are navigating rapid cloud modernization, distributed workforces, and the urgent imperative to secure AI workloads without introducing unnecessary friction.

Our partner community makes this scale possible. By developing certified expertise, delivering high-impact implementations, and prioritizing lasting business outcomes, our partners guide enterprises away from legacy network security toward an agile, cloud-native architecture.

During our discussions in Japan, ANZ, India and Greater Asia we centered on three shared focus areas:

• Fast-tracking Zero Trust: Replacing outdated, hardware-heavy perimeter security with a simpler, cloud-native approach that actually saves customers money and gives them clear visibility.
• Building Deep Technical Expertise: Doubling down on hands-on training and specialized certifications so our combined teams can tackle even the most complex architectural setups.
• Focusing on the Long Game: Moving past the initial sale to focus on long-term customer success, proactive account support, and flawless deployments.

Strong alliances require mutual trust, clear alignment, and a shared ambition to do what is best for the customer. We are profoundly grateful for the dedication and strategic energy our partners bring to our ecosystem every day.

Our Partner of the Year awards celebrate the organizations that have raised the bar for technical mastery, business momentum, and customer trust.

Congratulations to our FY26 APJ Partners of the Year across Japan, ANZ, India and Greater Asia. Thank you for your continued partnership and for the immense value you create across the region.
