“We'll Move Mountains to Help You Move to the Cloud”: Netskope

Traditional security products are not well suited to the needs of today’s cloud. As people become increasingly mobile, collaborate more freely, and shift more of their data to the cloud, enterprises need security that governs usage and protects data everywhere. Instead, most IT teams are still struggling with legacy security products that simply can’t contend with this new way people work. These legacy solutions don’t understand cloud transactions, they only offer IT a binary policy choice — allow or block — and that frustrates both IT and users. Finally, these products only cover some workflows, don’t fully protect enterprises from sensitive data loss or exposure, and introduce complexity and cost while failing to secure the enterprise completely.

Headquartered in Los Altos, CA and born in 2012, Netskope is a leader in cloud security. It is the only firm that has built a technology platform capable of realizing this vision. Using patented technology, Netskope’s cloud-scale security platform provides context-aware governance of all cloud usage in the enterprise in real time, whether accessed from the corporate network, remote, or from a mobile device. This means that security professionals can understand risky activities, protect sensitive data, stop online threats, and respond to incidents in a way that fits how people work today. With granular security policies, the most advanced cloud DLP, and unmatched breadth of workflows, Netskope is trusted by the largest companies in the world. Netskope — security evolved.

“Our platform enables enterprises to secure both sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud services, protect sensitive data across the cloud and web, and stop the most advanced online threats. Our platform empowers people with security designed for how they work, without slowing them down.”

It’s Time for Smart Cloud Security

Netskope’s patented Cloud XD technology eliminates blind spots by going deeper than any other security provider to quickly target and control activities across thousands of cloud services and millions of websites.

With full control from one cloud, its customers benefit from 360-degree data protection that guards data everywhere and advanced threat protection that stops elusive attacks. At Netskope, they call this smart cloud security.

Netskope Cloud XD

Patented and built in the cloud, Netskope Cloud XD™ is the brain behind Netskope. Unlike any other technology, Cloud XD understands all inputs (logs, SaaS, IaaS, web) in extreme definition and performs big data analytics on details including user, group, location, device, service, destination, activity, and content in real time. Cloud XD understands users, devices, locations, dates, times, content, and activities such as “share,” “approve,” “edit,” “download,” “send,” “post,” “upload,” and more across any cloud service, service instance, service category, or website.

By mapping out the API interactions of billions of transactions across tens of thousands of services, Netskope has built the intelligence one need to go beyond wondering what byte movements represent.

Award-Winning 360º Data Protection

As data increasingly moves off premises and into the cloud, one needs data protection architected from the ground up as a single engine that can be applied to SaaS, IaaS, and web and protect data everywhere.

Netskope’s award-winning 360º data protection guards sensitive data with cloud DLP and encryption across SaaS, IaaS, and web. Built in the cloud, Netskope data protection works regardless of location or device and handles the direct-to-cloud and direct-to-web traffic that others miss. Combined with end-to-end incident management capabilities and automated workflows, sensitive data is protected whether it’s in transit to the cloud or already resident in sanctioned cloud services.

Advanced Threat Protection

Netskope is the only cloud security platform with comprehensive, advanced threat protection across SaaS, IaaS, and the web, combining a unique cloud-native security service with multi-layered threat detection and remediation capabilities. Netskope sees traffic that other security solutions do not, such as traffic to SSL-encrypted websites and cloud services, and provides deep analysis to detect evasive, zero-day threats.

Backed by Netskope Threat Research Labs, a dedicated team focused on the discovery and analysis of new cloud and web threats, drawing from 40+ threat intelligence sources, and using advanced machine learning technology, Netskope provides multiple layers of threat detection and a range of remediation options to address advanced threats, which too often evade legacy security solutions.

Unified, Cloud-Native Platform

The cyber security skills shortage is a significant challenge, and organizations need to streamline security administration and operations to make the best use of the resources and tools they have.

Built from the start in one cloud, Netskope has built a truly unified platform for SaaS, IaaS, and web security, providing visibility, analytics, data protection, threat protection, and more. Unlike other security solutions, Netskope’s unified analytics and policy enforcement can be managed from a single platform, saving security team’s time by avoiding policy conflicts and redundant configuration steps.

Moreover, Netskope Cloud Security is a cloud-native security platform. Using a containerized, microservices-based architecture, the Netskope platform is designed to seamlessly scale individual cloud service components.
