Provide complete end-to-end protection with Netskope One Platform and AWS Cloud WAN Service Insertion
In our last blog post, we discussed how customers can accelerate cloud transformation with Netskope Borderless SD-WAN and AWS Cloud WAN integration. This network-level integration allows customers to automate workload access from any remote site and user laptop, delivering a secure, reliable, flexible, highly available, and optimized middle-mile network service leveraging the AWS global network.
This blog explores the Netskope One unified SASE platform’s integration with AWS Cloud WAN Service Insertion , which solidifies the Netskope and AWS partnership, accelerating secure cloud adoption.
The Netskope and AWS integration safeguards data and workloads regardless of location by protecting east-west traffic (data flowing between VPCs) with an integrated application firewall providing IPS/IDS capabilities within Netskope’s unified SASE gateway. Additionally, Netskope Intelligent SSE, seamlessly integrated with Borderless SD-WAN, protects north-south traffic (data flowing between VPCs and the internet). This holistic security approach unlocks the full potential of the Netskope One SASE platform.
Netskope offers additional flexibility by integrating with AWS Cloud WAN Service Insertion. This allows customers to leverage Borderless SD-WAN networking capabilities and select their preferred firewall solution, providing a flexible control for security and optimal performance across their entire cloud environment. The diagram below illustrates the three scenarios.
