Case Study: Salmat achieves a secure, cloud-first transformation and centralized web security with Zscaler

Zscaler™ and Okta Deliver a Secure Foundation for Salmat’s Cloud-First Initiative

Salmat, an ASX‑listed Australian marketing services company with about 3,500 users across 20 sites, was hampered by a patchwork of legacy systems, inconsistent on‑premise web proxies, and heavy maintenance overhead. After a fast Workday ERP rollout highlighted gaps such as lack of SSO and limited agility, the IT team initiated a cloud‑first transformation to reduce hygiene work and enable faster delivery of customer‑facing projects.

Salmat deployed Okta for identity and Zscaler Internet Access for cloud security, integrating them quickly via standards like SAML. The result was centralized, user‑centric policy enforcement, full SSL inspection and unified reporting, a dramatic reduction in proxy maintenance, and clearer visibility across locations—creating a secure foundation for SD‑WAN and ongoing cloud migration while freeing IT to focus on revenue‑generating initiatives.
