Netskope Expands Data Protection Capabilities to Endpoint Devices and Private Apps

NETSKOPE | SANTA CLARA, Calif. – May 24, 2022 – Netskope, the leader in Security Service Edge (SSE) and zero trust, today announced a key expansion of data protection capabilities to endpoint devices and private apps. The introduction of a patented endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) solution will enable Netskope Intelligent SSE customers to protect data everywhere it moves across the hybrid enterprise.

Zero trust principles are critical to SSE, which describes the security stack needed to enable a modern Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture. Data protection is of utmost importance throughout a SASE architecture—specifically, the need for security to move with data wherever it is accessed, and apply zero trust to determine the right level of access. Additionally, legacy and endpoint DLP offerings have failed enterprises by being siloed, complicated, and intrusive, hindering user productivity.

"No SASE or zero trust journey will be successful without data protection capabilities that can address all critical use cases in a way that is easy to deploy and doesn't slow down users," said John Martin, Chief Product Officer, Netskope. "The introduction of Endpoint DLP extends Netskope's award-winning data protection capabilities that much further, to critical use cases with endpoint devices. While some competitors may offer unified policy and management or provide data protection for certain vectors, Netskope is the only vendor that can provide truly converged data protection across the full IT environment. We are very excited to deliver Endpoint DLP to customers as another Netskope game-changer."

"With Netskope's new eDLP, we can now offer single-pass data protection —across all vectors, from the cloud to the endpoint —with unified policies, within a single management console," said Mick Coady, Global Vice President CyberSecurity Solutions, World Wide Technology. "As a Platinum Partner in Netskope's Evolve partner program, we're seeing the huge growth opportunity that Netskope's Intelligent SSE approach represents. This new addition will accelerate that growth."

A work-from-anywhere, or "hybrid," environment makes it increasingly difficult to maintain security models based on implicit trust in any entity that wants to connect.
