Netskope Strengthens Relationship with Microsoft to Streamline Data Discovery, Classification, and Protection Across the Enterprise

Seamless integration of Netskope One capabilities with Microsoft tools delivers flexibility and best-in-class security for modern AI and cloud environments

Netskope, a leader in modern security and networking, today announced expansions to its collaboration with Microsoft to provide comprehensive data security throughout enterprise cloud and AI environments. These include the integration of Netskope unified data security with Microsoft Purview, using capabilities of the Netskope One platform to streamline collaboration across security teams and provide consistent policies, faster response times, and smooth operations for cloud, AI, network, and endpoint protection. Today, Netskope’s strategic integrations with Microsoft include Microsoft Purview, Sentinel, Security Copilot, and Entra SSE, among others.

Netskope unified data security integrates with Microsoft Purview so that together, Netskope and Microsoft empower enterprise customers to extend the value of their Microsoft investments, including the following benefits:

• Expanding discovery and classification by extending Microsoft Purview DLP data insights beyond Microsoft’s ecosystem to the broader network. Netskope One unified data security detects and classifies sensitive data, including transactions with AI applications, sensitive content uploaded into unsanctioned cloud storage providers, social media posts, form submissions, and more.
  
  
• Unifying data security and governance by configuring Microsoft Purview DLP policies once and applying them seamlessly across endpoints, SaaS, IaaS, and network traffic, reinforced by Netskope One advanced security controls.
  
  
• Achieving consistent security and compliance with enterprise-wide visibility and policy enforcement using Netskope One unified data security capabilities and Microsoft Purview for real-time detection, governance, and threat mitigation across all data at rest and in motion.

Netskope is widely recognized for its strengths in unified data security and Security Service Edge (SSE), including holistic AI protections. The company has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SSE every year the report has been published. In addition, Netskope is the only vendor ranked among the two highest scoring vendors for all six category Use Cases in the 2025 Gartner Critical Capabilities report for Security Service Edge. Netskope was also recognized as a Leader in the inaugural Forrester Wave for SSE, and as a Leader in the inaugural 2025 IDC MarketScape for DLP.

Purview is the latest in a series of Netskope’s integrations with Microsoft. Among other recent milestones:

• Netskope helps enterprises get the best combination of security, experience and performance from the Microsoft Security Suite through its integrations with Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Security Copilot.
• In November 2024, Microsoft announced that it chose Netskope as its first partner in building an open SSE ecosystem by introducing the integration of Netskope One SSE directly into the in-product experience of Microsoft Entra Suite. Through this integration, Microsoft customers get a native SSE experience leveraging their investment in the Entra Suite, especially for Microsoft applications, and the ability to use Netskope’s advanced SSE capabilities, such as advanced threat and data protection for Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications.
• In April 2025, at the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards, Netskope was named Microsoft Cybersecurity ISV of the Year.

“We are thrilled that Microsoft has again selected Netskope as a key integration partner for important security initiatives,” said John Martin, Chief Product Officer, Netskope. “Our expanding integration partnerships, including with Purview, Sentinel, Security Copilot, and Entra, enable Netskope and Microsoft to offer our customers flexibility and choice in deployment options while maintaining a commitment to delivering best-of-breed data security and SSE capabilities.”
