The KPMG India-Zscaler partnership will provide a range of security services to assist organizations in comprehending and successfully handling cyber dangers that are specific to their industry.
A strategic collaboration has been formed between KPMG’s India division and the US cloud security firm Zscaler. The agreement was revealed on Tuesday, August 20, with the goal of working together to offer consumers in India “Zero Trust principle-aligned data security services.” This covers endpoint, cloud workload, identity, and data security supplied via the cloud. “KPMG in India will be delivering a unified technology solution in collaboration with Zscaler, which would enable them to consolidate and simplify their cloud security operations for customers,” the professional services group stated.

In contrast to 82% of CEOs worldwide, 77% of Indian CEOs see generative AI as a double-edged sword that may both strengthen cybersecurity efforts and introduce new weaknesses for adversaries to exploit, according to KPMG’s 2023 India CEO Outlook. The poll also revealed that a number of Indian organizations are having difficulty putting in place strong cyber defense systems to lessen the risk of their vulnerability. Zscaler and KPMG collaborate on cybersecurity. The two businesses will provide comprehensive security services as part of the KPMG India-Zscaler agreement to assist organizations in comprehending and successfully managing cyber dangers that are specific to their industry. Additionally, there will be a stronger emphasis on enhancing visibility and management.
