English term or phrase: As a matter of background
At the end of January, global ZSA associates received a video email message from Karl Jungen noting the absolute importance of having a “zero trust” mindset when in receipt of a suspicious email, web link or email attachment.

Being aware of Cyber Security threats – and how to protect our business, our customers and yourself – is critical.
That’s why, in order to continually improve our cyber security training programs, MSA is pleased to announce that B-TSafe has been selected as our vendor of choice for cyber security awareness initiatives.
As a matter of background, B-TSafe replaces Vombat Security.

as a matter of background
mais se informa que/adicionalmente, informa-se que


Explanation:
Diria assim.
Penso que a expressão serve apenas para introduzir o facto de que a empresa citada vem substituir outra que prestava serviços semelhantes ou na mesma área, i.e., para introduzir este dado adicional, para além das informações prestadas nas frases anteriores, para dar mais contexto.
