Zero Trust, Cloud Security & more transparency for companies
Companies are under increasing pressure to adapt their security architectures to modern cloud and hybrid environments. By expanding its partner portfolio to include Zscaler and CrowdStrike, SAVECALL is meeting this growing demand in a targeted way, with solutions that strengthen Zero Trust concepts, meet compliance requirements and noticeably relieve CIOs.
How you benefit from the partnership:
- Holistic protection: combination of network security, endpoint protection and cloud security.
- Zero Trust Frameworks: maximum transparency and access control across all levels.
- Modular integration: flexible integration into existing IT infrastructures without interrupting operations.
- Zscaler: leading in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Gartner Leader in Security Service Edge.
- CrowdStrike: fast-growing provider for EDR & incident response according to IDC and Forrester.
- Sustainable security: proactive defense, vulnerability analysis and data integrity from a cloud platform.
The question: How prepared is your current security strategy for Zero Trust and cloud-based threats?

Why we are expanding the security portfolio
Successful in the market for WAN solutions, UC and collaboration for 25 years, we are expanding our partner portfolio in the area of security, with Zscaler and CrowdStrike.
Security has long been an integral part of SAVECALL’s consulting in SD-WAN and SASE. With our expanded security partner portfolio we are meeting the growing demand for Zero Trust Frameworks, which provide greater security, better visibility and noticeable relief for CIOs and their teams.
Thanks to partners such as Zscaler and CrowdStrike, we offer modular security solutions that can be flexibly integrated into existing infrastructures, helping companies to meet compliance requirements and proactively close security gaps.
Zscaler: Zero Trust and SSE
Zscaler enables the world’s leading organizations to securely transform their networks and applications for a mobile and cloud-first world. Zscaler’s Zero Trust platform protects customers from cyberattacks and data breaches so users can be more agile, efficient, resilient and secure.
Zscaler is responsible for securing more than 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies and was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways for ten consecutive years, most recently in December 2020. That category has since been absorbed into the Security Service Edge market, where Gartner most recently named Zscaler a Leader in 2025 for the fourth consecutive year.
In practice, one point applies throughout: SASE only works as well as the underlay beneath it.
CrowdStrike: endpoint protection and incident response
In addition, we have added CrowdStrike to our security portfolio as a further but no less important partner. CrowdStrike originates from the incident response sector and offers a cloud-native platform for comprehensive protection.
The Falcon platform combines NGAV, EDR, device control, vulnerability assessment and IT hygiene in one cloud solution. According to IDC, CrowdStrike was the fastest growing provider of endpoint security software, and in the Forrester Wave Report Q1 2020 CrowdStrike was named a leader in enterprise detection and response.
CrowdStrike therefore covers the endpoint while Zscaler secures the access path. Together they form the holistic approach we follow in our security consulting.
How SAVECALL supports you
SAVECALL guides you from requirements gathering through to incremental rollout, matched to your existing infrastructure.
- SASE and SSE consulting with platform comparison and an assessment of the underlay per site
- Zero Trust architecture from concept to incremental rollout during ongoing operations
- Cyber security as modular, combinable layers of protection instead of individual products
- Carrier-neutral underlay as the foundation, so the security platform holds up in daily use
Conclusion: two building blocks, one approach
With Zscaler and CrowdStrike we are expanding our security portfolio with two building blocks that cover network and endpoint security. Both integrate modularly into existing infrastructures without interrupting ongoing operations.

Frequently asked questions about the expanded security portfolio
The partner portfolio has been expanded to include Zscaler and CrowdStrike. Zscaler covers security service edge and zero trust network access, CrowdStrike covers endpoint protection and incident response. Both complement the existing consulting around SD-WAN and SASE.
No. SAVECALL remains a sourcing and consulting partner and evaluates platforms by requirement, not by partner status. Adding new partners widens the solution space, it does not replace the comparison. Which platform fits is decided by the use case and the underlay.
Zscaler operates a cloud-based platform that bundles secure web gateway, cloud access security broker and zero trust network access, inspecting traffic at distributed points of presence. Instead of tunnelling users into the corporate network, access is granted per application and identity.
CrowdStrike addresses the endpoints. The Falcon platform combines next-generation antivirus, endpoint detection and response, device control, vulnerability assessment and IT hygiene in one cloud-based solution. The vendor originates from the incident response field.
Yes, integration is modular and incremental, so ongoing operations are not interrupted. In practice the entry point is usually remote access or individual sites, before further building blocks follow.
Closely. A cloud-based security platform inspects traffic at distributed points of presence, so connectivity per site determines actual performance. Platform choice and underlay procurement therefore belong together.
