"We're thrilled to recognize next-generation innovation in the information security marketplace and that's why Netskope has earned this award from Cyber Defense Magazine. Some of the best INFOSEC defenses come from these kinds of forward thinking players who think outside of the box," said Pierluigi Paganini, Editor-in-Chief, Cyber Defense Magazine.

The Netskope Active Platform is the only security platform to provide enterprises with unparallelled visibility and real-time control for all cloud services, whether sanctioned and unsanctioned. Using patented technology, the Netskope cloud-scale security platform provides context-aware governance of all cloud usage in real time, whether accessed from the corporate network, remotely, or even from a mobile app or sync client. With The Netskope Active Platform, security professionals can understand risky activities, protect sensitive data, stop online threats, and respond to incidents in a way that fits how people work today.

The Netskope Active Platform can be deployed 100 percent in the cloud, as an on-premises appliance, or via a hybrid configuration that includes both. Cloud traffic is steered for inspection using the Netskope patented all-mode traffic steering technology that provides several out-of-band and inline options. SSL-encrypted cloud traffic is safely decrypted using Netskope's cloud-scale architecture as part of the traffic steering process.

"The market has demanded a shift beyond just the discovery of cloud services toward a need for real-time control of cloud usage and policy enforcement, which is a key differentiator of the Netskope Active Platform technology," said Sanjay Beri, founder and CEO, Netskope. "Cyber Defense Magazine's recognition of Netskope further validates our company as a leader and innovator in the cloud access security broker space."
