Netskope defines Zero Trust simply as a security model based on the premise that no one should be blindly trusted inside the network or allowed access to resources, applications, or data until they have been validated as a legitimate user/entity with a legitimate need to access the information/data. Netskope employs Zero Trust as an operation concept to the services provided as part of the secure access service edge (SASE) architecture built on the Netskope NewEdge network. This data-centric design allows for maximum interoperability across all applications while enforcing trust based on context, at the network, application, and user level, irrespective of a user’s location or access method.
