Enhance your public cloud security with Netskope’s advanced solutions, offering API-enabled and inline protection for your IaaS and PaaS environments.

Introduction

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, securing public cloud environments is paramount for organizations of all sizes. As businesses increasingly migrate their infrastructure to the cloud, the need for robust cloud security solutions becomes critical to protect sensitive data, ensure compliance, and maintain operational resilience. Netskope stands out as a leader in this domain, offering comprehensive security solutions tailored for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) environments.

The Importance of Cloud Security

Public clouds offer scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, making them a preferred choice for many organizations. However, with these benefits come significant security challenges:
– Data Breaches: Misconfigurations and inadequate security controls can expose sensitive data.
– Compliance Risks: Adhering to regulatory frameworks like ISO 27001 and the upcoming Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is essential.
– Threat Detection: Advanced cyber threats require sophisticated protection measures to identify and mitigate risks in real-time.

Netskope’s Advanced Cloud Security Solutions

Netskope provides a unified platform that seamlessly integrates various security measures to protect cloud environments. Here’s how their solutions enhance cloud security for IaaS and PaaS:

Continuous Security Assessment

Unified Monitoring: Utilize a single, intuitive console to monitor and audit security configurations across multiple public clouds including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Compliance Audits: Continuously assess cloud configurations against industry standards such as NIST, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA to ensure compliance and mitigate risks.

Advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Comprehensive Protection: Identify and safeguard sensitive data stored within cloud services. Netskope uses over 3,000 language-independent data identifiers to inspect more than 1,500 file types.
Automated Enforcement: Prevent data exfiltration by blocking unauthorized uploads to unmanaged storage services through both GUI and command-line interfaces.

Insider Threat Protection

Behavioral Analysis: Leverage User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to detect anomalies and prevent data theft by malicious insiders.
Policy Enforcement: Create and enforce policies that restrict data movement from managed corporate storage to personal or unmanaged services.

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)

Multi-Layer Detection: Employ static and dynamic antivirus inspections, heuristic analysis, and sandboxing to uncover and block sophisticated cyber threats.
Real-Time Response: Automated workflows enable real-time response to emerging threats, minimizing potential damage.

Real-Time Inline Visibility and Control

Granular Controls: Monitor and protect cloud resources in real-time with detailed access restrictions based on user roles, groups, and organizational units.
Zero Trust Engine: Decode activities in real-time, ensuring that only authorized actions are permitted across 80+ public cloud services.

Secure Access to Private Applications

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Mitigate public exposure of private applications by providing secure, encrypted access without the inefficiency of traditional VPNs.
Policy-Based Access: Ensure that only authenticated and authorized users on compliant devices can access sensitive applications.
