Overview
The Netskope Active Platform gives IT the ability to find, understand, and secure cloud apps. Only Netskope empowers organizations to gain surgical visibility and control, protect sensitive data using “noise-cancelling” data loss prevention (DLP), and ensure compliance in real-time, on any device, for any cloud app so the business can move fast, with confidence.
The power of the Netskope Active Platform is brought about by the rich
set of contextual details it surfaces. It starts with identity, which includes
information about the user, their AD group membership, device, browser,
and location. Then it layers in app information, at the app instance, or the
category level. Then it takes activity into consideration: is the user sharing
content outside of the company? Downloading PII? Uploading ePHI? Finally,
it pulls in the data: What is the content? A record? A link? A file? If so, what
kind of file? What is the name of this file? Does it trigger your DLP profile for
PII? Anytime you perform a query or enforce a real-time policy, you can be
very precise and granular with that contextual information in order to really
understand your risk in its entirety and enforce policies that address the real
risk, while still allowing the app.
Unlike other vendors whose product capabilities are dependent on their deployment architecture, Netskope’s core product engine is abstracted from the way the solution is deployed. We are the only vendor with customers in production across every deployment architecture offered in the market today, including log-based discovery, introspection, inline as a reverse proxy, inline as a forward proxy, inline with or without agents or mobile profiles, in secure TAP mode, in proxy-chaining mode, and even as a secure, on-premises appliance.
How we are different
Netskope has the most advanced cloud DLP in the market. Its most differentiating feature is that it is “noise-cancelling.” Between our advanced capabilities such as 3,000+ data identifiers, support for 500+ file types, custom regular expressions, proximity analysis, international support using double-byte characters, fingerprinting, exact match, and use of context to narrow down the content we are detecting, we reduce false positives and increase detection accuracy.
Only Netskope provides surgical, or fine-grained, visibility and control for both sanctioned and unsanctioned apps. For sanctioned apps and suites like Microsoft Office 365, Google Apps, Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, and Salesforce, Netskope provides full-spectrum governance across access, activities, and data, including access based on device class, “least privilege” admin access, and activity-level data governance.
