Virtual IT Group creates Zero Trust practice

Virtual IT Group has formed a specialist Zero Trust practice off the back of the trans-Tasman merger between the company and The Instillery announced in July.

Instillery Group COO Jeremy Nees is driving the new Zero Trust practice across Australia and New Zealand with key new hires to be announced in the coming weeks. 

Virtual IT Group founder and CEO Christian Pacheco said the company's intention is to take a Zero Trust capability to market immediately by leveraging the existing partnership that The Instillery has with Zscaler.

"There is a massive unmet need in this space - among customers still relying on legacy security architectures, as well as those not realising the full value of their current Zero Trust investments," he said.

Zscaler Australia and New Zealand VP and MD Eric Swift said the collaboration between Virtual IT Group and The Instillery signals a pivotal moment for Zero Trust adoption across Australia and New Zealand.

“With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and legacy architectures struggling to keep pace, the combined expertise of these MSPs, alongside Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, will empower organisations to confidently modernise their security ecosystems and safeguard critical data without compromise.”
