Netskope and VMware Collaborate to Simplify Enablement and Security of Remote-First WorkforcesSANTA CLARA, Calif., May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Netskope, the leading security cloud, today announced a collaboration with VMware, creating a best-of-breed technology suite aimed at addressing the challenges of securely enabling the remote-first workforce. For the first time in the industry, enterprises can get enhanced management and protection of the endpoint, data and threat protection of cloud, web, and private applications, and high performance software-defined WAN access in one simple, comprehensive solution. Digital transformation is a top business priority for many reasons, one being that digitally empowered employees consider themselves to be two to five timesi more productive than individuals who work in a traditional workspace. Cloud and mobility are key enabling technologies, but the diversity of devices and cloud applications makes providing the right access and security very challenging. For IT and security teams, the complexity is so great that nearly half of CIOsii see it as a hindrance to getting the expected benefits. Layering on the sudden increase in remote workingiii and the fact that nearly half of threats to data and users are cloud-basediv and it is understandable that IT and security teams are struggling to support employees. This is forcing a reevaluation of security and digital strategies by many CISOs and a call for simplicityv from their technology solution providers. To address these needs, organizations must govern the endpoint, and provide inline data and threat protection for cloud, web, and private applications. The collaboration between Netskope and VMware targets these challenges by providing customers with the following:
"We're pleased to announce this very timely and important collaboration with VMware for the remote-first workforce," said Sanjay Beri, CEO of Netskope. "VMware has a long history of delivering best-of-breed solutions and together, with Netskope, customers will now get workforce enablement and security solutions anywhere they are in the world, regardless of device, cloud, web, or private application." "The shift to a largely-remote workforce has put a burden on organizations and employees, who are determining the optimal way to work while staying more secure," Patrick Morley, general manager and senior vice president, Security Business Unit, VMware. "One such consideration is how to extend IT and security best practices outside of the traditional office. Our collaboration with Netskope simplifies how organizations can more securely and effectively run their business and do their jobs from anywhere, whether in the cloud, on the web, or on personal devices." Netskope is the only company in the market that has addressed shifting demands by combining next-generation SWG capabilities, the world's leading CASB, zero trust secure access, and advanced machine learning to detect unauthorized data exfiltration and advanced threat protection.
