Netskope Security Cloud
Secure Web Gateway (SWG)


Your Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
is Blind to 50% of Traffic
A majority of web traffic now consists of cloud apps. In fact, more than 2,400 cloud apps are being used on average in the enterprise and it is critical to understand risky activities, data movement, and associated risk with all that cloud usage.
Current Secure Web Gateways were developed at a time when cloud app adoption was just getting started so they were architected to cover general web traffic and have an opaque view into cloud usage.
This presents a huge visibility gap and the inability to provide what is needed to effectively assess risk and take appropriate action.
Are you ready for the new era of network security in the cloud?

Anne welcomes back Neil Thacker, EMEA CISO at Netskope, to discuss Netskope’s latest Prove IT campaign. In particular, they explain that your SWG could be blind to more than 50% of traffic, and they showcase how Netskope can prove it.

SaaS Visibility



- Only Netskope’s Next Gen SWG gives you the visibility you need to effectively assess risk with cloud usage
- Netskope’s Cloud Confidence Index provides a database of tens of thousands of cloud apps that have been assessed using 50+ criteria
- Netskope supports real-time event-by-event, activity-level cloud usage monitoring for thousands of cloud apps
- Advanced analytics delivers unmatched visualisation of cloud usage and associated risk with more than 500 metadata attributes that can be combined to create beautifully rendered visualisations
- The result is you get a comprehensive view of cloud usage, what your underlying risk is, and the actionable insights needed to improve your security posture
Unintentional or Unapproved Data Movement
- Netskope’s Next Gen SWG follows data movement in context of app instance and alerts the security team when exfiltration events take place
- Netskope supports granular, contextual policy controls that take in account app instance so you can block uploads of sensitive data to unmanaged instances of cloud apps vs being forced to block the instance itself
- The result is you can see and prevent the data data exfiltration without impacting productivity and slowing down the business


Sensitive Data Propagation

More than 2,400 cloud apps are being used on average in the enterprise and while these apps are good for collaboration and productivity; they present blind spots for existing secure web gateways when it comes to sensitive data loss.
While this legacy mechanism may work when uploading or downloading files, most cloud app activity involves activities such as edit, create, and post that take place directly in the cloud app and this is a blind spot for existing secure web gateways.
- Only Netskope’s Next Gen SWG understands the language of the cloud, which is API and JSON and decodes in real-time, activities taking place in cloud apps
Real-Time User Coaching


BYOD and 3rd Party Access
to Cloud Apps
Allow unmanaged device access to a specific cloud app for collaboration, however, do not allow downloading of sensitive data when on an unmanaged device.
Cloud Phishing
Protect users from phishing attacks using cloud hosted fake forms (e.g. Office 365 login) to collect app access credentials.Â
of threats are cloud-enabled, including:
- Content servers
- Online advertisements
- Personal sites & blogs
