Navigating the demands of a hyper-distributed enterprise
Enterprises today operate in a hyper-distributed environment where users, devices, applications, and workloads are no longer confined within traditional corporate boundaries. Whether you’re working with remote employees, branch offices, SaaS, IaaS, or non-human form factors like robots and AI workloads, everything must securely and reliably connect to everything else, along with unified policy enforcement. This hyperconnected environment has introduced complexity, fragmentation, policy sprawl, and blind spots that legacy network and security architectures struggled to keep up with.
At Netskope, we overcame these challenges early through a converged platform called Netskope One, composed of five key components: the Netskope One Gateway, Client, Engine, Network, and Console. Together, these components extend zero trust and SASE everywhere, enabling a wide range of use cases, including branch and cloud modernization with Netskope One SD-WAN, universal ZTNA use cases, such as coffee shop networking, with Netskope One Private Access, IoT security with Device Intelligence, and IoT/OT devices, like machines and robots, that can’t run a Netskope client using Zero Trust SIM. This unique approach defines a new paradigm for enterprises to build strong, adaptive policies that incorporate user, device, and application risk.
Netskope is proud to extend its leadership and deepen its commitment to a collaborative, cloud-centric future through our partnership with Google. By integrating with Google Cloud, Netskope One Gateway extends its context-aware SD-WAN optimization into Google’s Cloud WAN. This provides the flexibility to securely and efficiently connect workloads, whether on-premises or in Google Cloud.
Let’s take a closer look at this integration:
Netskope One Gateway integration with Google’s Cloud WAN
Digital transformation is reshaping how enterprises manage IT resources, driving the need for secure, optimized access to mission-critical applications across on-prem and cloud environments like Google Cloud. As more applications migrate to or are built in the cloud, Netskope One SD-WAN enables secure, automated hybrid cloud connectivity between on-prem infrastructure and Google Cloud. Key use cases include optimized access for hybrid users, branch offices, and transcontinental sites to workloads across Google Cloud, multi-cloud, on-prem environments, and services like Google Meet. With simplified operations and easy provisioning of the Netskope One Gateway within Google’s Cloud WAN, organizations can accelerate deployments and reduce operational overhead. The Netskope One Gateway integrates seamlessly with Google’s Cloud WAN, extending context-aware SD-WAN fabric and end-to-end segmentation from remote branches and other cloud environments to Google Cloud.
By prioritizing deep integration with leading cloud providers like Google Cloud, and supporting diverse deployment models, Netskope offers organizations the flexibility and choice they need to modernize their networks. This cloud-first approach empowers enterprises to reduce complexity, streamline operations, and build a future-ready infrastructure.
