Seamless integration combines flexibility and best-in-class security with Netskope One SSE to create a comprehensive data protection posture
Netskope, a leader in Secure Access Service Edge, announced the extension of its partnership with Microsoft to provide advanced Security Service Edge capabilities to enterprise customers seeking to converge web, SaaS, and private application security into a single platform. Microsoft chose Netskope as its lead partner to deliver industry-leading Netskope One SSE integrated capabilities directly into the in-product experience of Microsoft Entra Suite.
As enterprises leverage Netskope together with Microsoft’s product offering, this integration streamlines operations and processes for security practitioners, delivers and preserves a high-quality end user experience, and simplifies administration for customers that require complete SSE capabilities.
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.
The integrated SSE solution was announced today at Microsoft Ignite. For three years in a row, Netskope has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SSE, and has also been named a Leader in the inaugural Forrester Wave for SSE.
“Microsoft continues to invest in security initiatives and sought a trusted partner that can provide enterprise customers with differentiated security solutions to address high-value use cases. We are proud that they selected Netskope as the lead partner to work on this integrated, flexible SSE solution and we look forward to bringing customers the best in SSE, tailored to match their flexibility and choice,” said John Martin, chief product officer, Netskope.
“We chose SSE leader Netskope as our first partner in building an open SSE ecosystem. This partnership ensures Microsoft’s customers get the best combination of security, experience and performance, helping protect their data from cyber threats,” said Joy Chik, president, Identity and Network Access at Microsoft. “We’re committed to providing our customers with the flexibility to choose an SSE solution that best fits their environment as their security needs evolve.”
Netskope’s Advanced SSE for Microsoft will be available via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and through Microsoft partners. For more information, visit here.
