The Latest Cybersecurity News & Insights From Around The World
SaaS Visibility - Use Case 1
Provide inline visibility and advanced analytics for thousands of apps (managed and unmanaged) in use, including users, file names, activity, and to whom. Netskope, the SASE leader, safely and quickly connects users directly to the internet, any application, and their infrastructure from any device, on or off the network. With CASB, SWG, and ZTNA built natively in a single platform, Netskope is fast everywhere, data centric, and cloud smart, all while enabling good digital citizenship and providing a lower total-cost-of-ownership.
Data Movement - Use Case 2
See and control data movement between cloud app instances and in the context of app risk and user risk. Netskope, the SASE leader, safely and quickly connects users directly to the internet, any application, and their infrastructure from any device, on or off the network. With CASB, SWG, and ZTNA built natively in a single platform, Netskope is fast everywhere, data centric, and cloud smart, all while enabling good digital citizenship and providing a lower total-cost-of-ownership.
Sensitive Data Propagation - Use Case 3
Alert or block when sensitive data is posted or added directly (not just uploaded) in cloud apps like Slack, Word online, and GitHub. Netskope, the SASE leader, safely and quickly connects users directly to the internet, any application, and their infrastructure from any device, on or off the network. With CASB, SWG, and ZTNA built natively in a single platform, Netskope is fast everywhere, data centric, and cloud smart, all while enabling good digital citizenship and providing a lower total-cost-of-ownership.
Real Time User Coaching - Use Case 4
Coach users on data loss risks, including the context of app risk and user risk, when performing activities with the option to proceed or cancel for managed and unmanaged apps, and web sites so business processes can continue.
BYOD and 3rd Party Access - Use Case 5
Allow unmanaged device access to a specific cloud app for collaboration, however, do not allow downloading of sensitive data when on an unmanaged device. Netskope, the SASE leader, safely and quickly connects users directly to the internet, any application, and their infrastructure from any device, on or off the network. With CASB, SWG, and ZTNA built natively in a single platform, Netskope is fast everywhere, data centric, and cloud smart, all while enabling good digital citizenship and providing a lower total-cost-of-ownership.
Cloud Threats Memo: Watch Out for Google Forms Cloud Phishing
Google Forms is one of the preferred tools used by cybercriminals to quickly set up and deliver phishing pages.

Despite the naïve layout, the tool is flexible enough to build an (un)realistic login page with few clicks.
The Five Drivers of Data Protection
TModern data protection has five key drivers, all of which an organization must seek to understand. These drivers equally apply to cloud and non-cloud related data and should form the basis of any robust data protection strategy.
