Netskope provides cloud security solutions for large enterprises, helping them secure data and protect against threats in cloud environments. It offers a cloud security platform with real-time data and threat protection, secure access service edge (SASE) capabilities, and advanced threat detection and response; all delivered through a subscription model. How it works: the platform continuously monitors cloud services and data traffic, enforcing security policies directly where data lives, and providing real-time protection and threat response across the cloud, network, and apps. How it differs from competitors: it emphasizes a data-centric approach—protecting the data itself in cloud environments—along with cloud-native, real-time protection and a comprehensive SASE bundle, aimed at large organizations undergoing digital transformation. Its goal is to redefine cloud, network, and data security for enterprises by enabling secure and seamless digital transformations.
