Netskope Improvised Netskope Private Access

Posted on by admin

Netskope announced significant improvements to Netskope Private Access, the zero-trust network access (ZTNA) foundation of its security platform. Customers of Netskope can now apply zero trust principles to the broadest range of hybrid work security requirements, including SaaS, IaaS, private applications, web, e-mail, and endpoint devices.

In hybrid work environments, enterprises are rapidly adopting Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technology architecture. ZTNA is critical to SASE, it enables organizations to transition from legacy remote access VPN infrastructure to a modern, efficient, and secure infrastructure.

Netskope Private Access, which provides ZTNA services, is an essential component of the Netskope Intelligent SSE platform. It connects users to corporate resources anywhere, using any device, and continuously evaluates context and adapts to reduce risk. This context has now been extended to the enterprise data layer, leveraging Netskope’s unified DLP capabilities. Netskope provides advanced data protection capabilities, which are highlighted as an area where other SASE and SSE vendors fall short.

John Martin, Chief Product Officer at Netskope stated, “Enterprises need data-centric ZTNA—period. Private applications often house some of an organization’s most valuable information, including trade secrets and code repositories, and are an absolute must for comprehensive data protection capabilities. These key enhancements to Netskope Private Access extend Netskope’s award-winning zero-trust data protection capabilities that much further, offering enterprises multiple options to protect the information, from inspecting private application traffic to applying DLP in risky use cases such as third-party access and BYOD.”

A hybrid work environment needs the ability to apply zero trust principles to govern user, device, network, application, and data behavior, thereby increasing confidence in policy enforcement everywhere. Under zero trust, technology resources no longer implicitly trust any entity seeking to connect. The resource can determine an appropriate level of confidence, or trust, only for that specific interaction and by evaluating several contextual elements such as user role and identity, device identity and security posture, time of day, data sensitivity level, and more. Businesses become more agile, reduce risk, and streamline application deployment and ongoing maintenance because of using Netskope Intelligent SSE with zero trust data protection throughout.

Chris Rodriguez, Research Director of Security & Trust at IDC stated, “Zero trust network access is all about optimizing the balance of enabling access and mitigating risk, and the most effective ZTNA solutions, including Netskope Private Access, help reduce the risk and exposure associated with legacy remote-access VPNs. Enterprises should be pleased to see that Netskope continues to innovate and has now added capabilities to strengthen data protection policies across the widest range of use cases, from SaaS to private apps.”

CrowdStrike Acquires SecureCircle to Extend Zero Trust Data Protection

Posted on by admin

CrowdStrike Holdings, a leading company in cloud-delivered endpoint and workload protection, announced the acquisition of SecureCircle, a SaaS-based cybersecurity service that extends Zero Trust security to endpoint data. CrowdStrike will strengthen its leading Zero Trust endpoint security device and identity capabilities to incorporate data with this takeover. The all-cash deal is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of CrowdStrike’s fiscal year.

By securing the hub of enterprise risk — the endpoint – CrowdStrike has transformed security for the cloud era. CrowdStrike will enhance data protection with SecureCircle’s technology, allowing customers to implement Zero Trust at the device, identity, and data levels. CrowdStrike intends to resolve complex problem that all organisations face, data protection, with a simple solution – enforcing Zero Trust control at multiple levels, all deployed through CrowdStrike’s lightweight Falcon agent on the endpoint – by combining forces and leveraging SecureCircle’s innovative capabilities.

Zero Trust Data Protection Reimagined

In 2021, the market for data loss prevention (DLP) and related technologies is expected to reach $3 billion. Even billions of dollars are invested in legacy DLP technologies, data breaches via inadvertent leaks, ransomware, sophisticated cyberattacks, and other sources continue to occur at an astonishing speed. Clients demand a solution to protect data without compromising the user experience, as DLP has failed. CrowdStrike promises to rethink data security using SecureCircle’s technology, enforcing encryption on data in all three states (in transit, at rest, and in use), allowing clients to secure data on, from, and to endpoints. Clients will be able to govern data access and usage regulations for each user based on their Zero Trust score when integrated with CrowdStrike Zero Trust Assessment, providing dynamic risk mitigation.

“Data loss prevention has suffered from a lack of innovation and legacy tools have completely failed to live up to the promise of preventing breaches. At the same time, the endpoint has become the focal point for how data is accessed, used, shared and stored,” said George Kurtz, co-founder and chief executive officer of CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike will be setting a new standard for endpoint-based data protection by connecting Zero Trust enforcement to the device, the user identity and, with this acquisition, the data users are accessing and using.”

Jeff Capone, chief executive officer at SecureCircle said, “We are excited to join the CrowdStrike family, and integrate SecureCircle’s revolutionary data protection solutions with the industry leader in cloud-delivered endpoint protection. The endpoint in today’s enterprise is everything, and coupling our cloud-native approach to protecting sensitive data with CrowdStrike’s industry leading Zero Trust endpoint security will enable customers to enforce Zero Trust on the endpoint across all levels.”
