Netskope’s UZTNA solution, comprising Netskope One Private Access and Device Intelligence, now includes context-aware capabilities that automatically discover and classify risks for IoT/OT devices, such as machines and robots, through the 5G Netskope One Gateway. This enables zero trust policies for devices unable to run agent software, with integrations to third-party NAC vendors enhancing east-west traffic control. The solution’s firewall capabilities ensure granular protection across north-south traffic, delivering consistent security for diverse enterprise environments.
The enhanced UZTNA solution inspects both remote and local private application traffic using Netskope’s advanced threat protection and data loss prevention (DLP) engines. A unified policy and management console ensures consistent security across all Netskope services, safeguarding sensitive data and mitigating threats before they reach the network. This approach simplifies security management while maintaining robust protection for all users and devices.
Netskope’s recently introduced Copilot feature leverages AI to streamline ZTNA management by automating granular policy creation for discovered applications. It continuously refines configurations, reducing complexity and accelerating adoption. This capability allows organizations to scale zero trust policies efficiently, minimizing risks and enhancing operational agility in hybrid environments.
The solution extends secure access to private applications in branch networks by hosting Netskope’s ZTNA publisher on the 5G Netskope One Gateway. This ensures consistent, least-privilege enforcement across IT, IoT, and OT environments, enabling enterprises to maintain security and performance regardless of location. The update supports modern hybrid enterprises by replacing legacy tools with a unified, scalable framework.
Netskope’s UZTNA enhancements redefine secure access, offering organizations a unified, AI-driven approach to protect users and devices. With a projected 40% growth in Universal ZTNA adoption by 2027, as noted in the 2024 Gartner Emerging Tech report, Netskope’s solution positions enterprises to reduce complexity, enhance security, and enable seamless performance in the cloud and AI era.
Netskope, a leader in modern security and networking for the cloud and AI era, addresses the needs of both security and networking teams by providing optimized access and real-time, context-based security for people, devices, and data anywhere they go. Thousands of customers, including more than 30% of the Fortune 100, trust the Netskope One platform, its Zero Trust Engine, and its powerful NewEdge network to reduce risk and gain full visibility and control over cloud, AI, SaaS, web, and private applications—providing security and accelerating performance without trade-offs.
