Netskope customers are harnessing Netskope AI security protections, with more capabilities now available from the Netskope One platformSANTA CLARA, Calif., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Netskope , a leader in modern security and networking, today announced the continued expansion of the Netskope One platform to cover more AI security use cases, including enhanced protections for private applications and data security posture management (DSPM) attributes. While other vendors focus on enabling safe user access to AI applications, Netskope capabilities go much further by managing new risks introduced by the adoption and building of AI applications, providing a deep understanding of sensitive data being fed into large language models (LLMs) and assessing risk on AI models to make informed decisions on application selection and policy setting.Building on Netskope's current, comprehensive protections for public SaaS and AI applications, Netskope One, which is powered by SkopeAI innovations throughout the platform, covers a broad range of AI security use cases: protecting and securing AI use across users, agents, data, and applications, with complete visibility and contextual, real-time controls.The rapid adoption of AI by enterprise organizations has created a vastly complex ecosystem, composed of popular public genAI applications, applications with integrated AI features, private AI applications, AI agents and others, all with varying levels of users and access, and all in constant interaction with each other and other business operations. That ecosystem in turn has created an expansive attack surface that's introduced more visibility and enforcement challenges.According to Netskope Threat Labs' 2025 Generative AI Cloud and Threat Report , organizations experienced a 30x increase in data sent to genAI applications alone by internal users in the last year. Much of this surge stems from "shadow AI" usage, in which employees access genAI tools using personal accounts. The report revealed that 72% of genAI users still rely on personal accounts to interact with applications like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Grammarly in the workplace. Organizations now require a unified, end-to-end approach for securing every facet of AI in their business, from genAI to agentic AI and beyond, so they can minimize risk, while keeping employees productive in their use of AI.Netskope One enhancements announced today include new updates to Netskope One Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) , which provides expanded end-to-end visibility and control over how diverse data stores are used to train public and private LLMs
