Customers are our number one priority at Netskope, and it’s our job to inspire their confidence and trust, especially when it comes to major technology architecture shifts like Security Service Edge (SSE) and SASE, and the need to apply zero trust principles to every interaction with data. With that in mind, we are excited to announce that Netskope has been recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the 2023 Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer”: Security Service Edge.

In an era of rapid digital transformation, where remote work, cloud adoption, and IoT proliferation are reshaping the modern enterprise landscape, the need for a robust and flexible network infrastructure has become paramount. Enter secure access service edge, or SASE, a revolutionary approach that seamlessly integrates network and security functions to meet the demands of the modern business environment.

It’s no secret that Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to grow by leaps and bounds as organizations modernize their IT infrastructure by migrating apps and workloads to the cloud. And due to the AWS shared responsibility model of cloud security, a deep and broad ecosystem of security vendors has also grown up alongside AWS.

The Gartner® secure access service edge (SASE) framework has generated tremendous interest in the market, spanning from small businesses to large institutions, and appealing to security and networking professionals alike. Netskope is excited to announce the availability of the first secure access service edge (SASE) solution to fully address key advanced use cases demanded by large enterprises.
