Cloud Security (CASB)
The cloud is transforming your organization. It’s changing how you work as everything is becoming more intuitive, connected, open, and collaborative, and that change is rippling across SaaS, IaaS, and the web. This creates new challenges and risks that legacy security vendors can’t address. You need security that can.
Product Overview
Our Cloud Security platform helps the world’s largest organizations take full advantage of the cloud and web without sacrificing 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, our customers benefit from 360-degree data protection that guards data everywhere and advanced threat protection that stops elusive attacks.Â
Our Cloud Security platform can be deployed 100% in the cloud, as an on-premises appliance, or via a hybrid configuration that includes both. Cloud and web traffic is steered to Netskope for inspection using our patented all-mode traffic steering technology that provides several out-of-band and inline options ensuring that you get 100 percent coverage for users on premises, mobile, and remote. For users accessing cloud services, full coverage is provided whether a browser, mobile app, desktop app or sync client is used to access sanctioned or unsanctioned cloud services. TLS-encrypted cloud traffic is safely decrypted using the Netskope cloud-scale architecture as part of the traffic steering process.
