Netskope Reviews

My main use cases for Netskope are to provide a secure way for remote access and eliminating traditional VPN, and also to protect the web navigation for the users.

The most helpful features in Netskope are the data loss prevention module, the anti-malware module, and the integration that it has with Information Rights Management from Microsoft.

It has better categorization and more granular features regarding web protection, as it allows me to control HTTP methods. I can publish WhatsApp web for my users as read-only, for example. Other providers cannot; they are only on and off, and do not have the granularity for a website to be read-only.

That comes with a downside, which is that they need to regularly update their controls to support those features in those websites.

The solution is useful for remote workflow access.

Netskope’s CASB provides good visibility of the applications being used. We can use Shadow IT based on the traffic. DLP and CASB are valuable features. The tool provides extensive DLP features. We can create any level of policies and protect our data on-premise or cloud. The tool integrates with all the components very well.

Most of our customers use Netskope for application navigation and the protection of the public cloud, such as Office 365. We primarily work with it as a substitution for URL filtering, but the SASE solution provides more than just URL filtering.

Netskope provides real-time protection as all traffic is analyzed in line. With the client on the device communicating with the Netskope cloud, it allows for immediate protection. 

Netskope is cloud-native, enabling differentiation of tenants in cloud applications, whether they are enterprise or personal, and provides control over shadow IT access. 

It also has a behavior engine with robust rules and machine learning capabilities, including image analysis with OCR capabilities.

I use Netskope for cloud-based security within our organization's multi-cloud environments. It helps with ease of deployment and configuration, enabling us to manage security policies and integrate them with other solutions like identity providers.

Netskope has allowed us to effectively configure security policies and manage them across our environment while providing a secure and efficient solution.

We use the tool to control the use of our email going outside.  We use it to secure our data. We use it for data exfiltration, enforce policies for users who use both personal and corporate accounts, and ensure PCI compliance. We also use it to block malware by detecting and blocking any malware in cloud services immediately. Additionally, we monitor privileged accounts to prevent unauthorized access to our resources. We use it to protect our privileged accounts in Microsoft Azure.

The solution provides information about third-party applications registered to our corporate email address and alerts us when users enroll in other applications using their work email.

The tool helps us detect threats and provides insights. Then, we take necessary measures to ensure users have MFA enrolled and take other security steps.

We are an airline, so our users frequently move between locations. For example, a pilot might log in from one country in the morning and another within a few hours. Netskope helps us guard against threats by detecting if a data exfiltration attempt occurs from a specific location.

We use Cisco Umbrella and plan to replace it with Netskope. We will start with the security model and other policies. 

We use Cisco VPN for remote access. Additionally, we have started implementing Netskope with a strong focus on security. Our primary goal is to protect users from accessing malicious sites. We also plan to implement DLP based on our data, as data security is our main concern.

The solution offers granular control over uploads and downloads. Previously, we lacked monitoring and control over downloads from malicious sites, but now, with Netskope, we can block such downloads. We are currently in the testing phase of implementing DLP, specifically for personally identifiable information data. We don't want it to be uploaded to the cloud. 

I'm currently involved in integrating Netskope with SentinelOne in our organization. The goal is to consolidate our alert monitoring by setting up a virtual machine and establishing threat exchange protocols. This integration allows us to use a single console to monitor alerts from both Netskope and SentinelOne, enabling better correlation of security incidents.
