Over the past 30 years, I’ve seen the world of networking and cybersecurity change significantly. Today’s highly dynamic, highly distributed workforce needs to connect to data and applications in a secure way without impacting network performance, and it’s not possible to deliver that with rigid, hardware-based solutions. Considering how the next generation of networking and security is evolving, it’s clear to me that Netskope and its ability to provide flexible, scalable network security built for the use of cloud applications, will be key to securing this growing hybrid workforce.
Netskope has done an excellent job laying the groundwork, and is the only network security company that was built to be cloud-native from the ground up. Netskope has also made a significant investment in its NewEdge Network. However carriers are now refocusing on delivering world class networking whether that be private line, direct internet access or 5G and their number one priority is to drive consumption of these networks and offer value added services over the top. This is where Netskope can offer a unique value proposition. Because the New Edge network is built on bare metal these nodes can be embedded into the carriers network which fulfills the need to drive consumption of the network and in doing so expands Netskope’s global footprint for a true win/win partnership. This puts Netskope in an incredible position to support global partner carriers, and makes it a perfect fit for me to come to Netskope as Vice President of Channel Sales focused on Service Providers.
Whilst Netskope takes care of the infrastructure it frees up the Carrier to deliver rich value-added, frictionless SSE services to its customers. These services include Next Generation policy management and configuration, managed XDR, Advanced Analytics and Data Protection. Regardl
