At Zero Trust World #ZTW26 in Orlando, we speak with Emile Barakat, Director of Operations – APAC at ThreatLocker, about the new Australian regional office and partners and clients in the APAC region.
Barakat explains why Australia has become ThreatLocker’s second largest market globally, largely driven by the Australian Government’s Essential Eight cybersecurity framework, which aligns closely with ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust approach. The conversation explores how organisations are adopting deny-by-default security principles, addressing common concerns around user resistance and implementation challenges.
We also discuss expanding opportunities across Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines, with strong interest from sectors such as finance where protecting sensitive data is critical. Barakat highlights ThreatLocker’s partner-first strategy, working with MSPs, resellers and enterprise customers to scale cybersecurity solutions across the region.
Zero Trust World is held annually in Orlando, Florida with IT professionals from 28 countries in attendance.
Zero Trust World aims to empower IT professionals to embrace a default-deny security posture and build stronger, more resilient cybersecurity frameworks.
