Positioned for its Vision and Execution, Netskope is recognized as a Leader and positioned highest in Ability to Execute
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – July 31, 2026 – Netskope (NASDAQ: NTSK), a leader in modern security and networking for the cloud and AI era, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has recognized the company for the third consecutive year as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms. Netskope is positioned highest in Ability to Execute in the new report.
In the companion SASE Platforms Critical Capabilities report, a comparative research report that scores competing technology products or services against a specific set of critical differentiators, Netskope is the only vendor ranked as the highest scoring for three Use Cases, including: Foundational SASE Platform Use Case (4.24/5), Zero Trust SASE Platform Use Case (4.43/5), and the new Sovereign SASE Use Case (4.16/5).
Netskope helps organizations modernize by converging critical security, network, analytics, and AI products into a powerful, unified platform, Netskope One. The architecture of Netskope One applies zero trust principles and AI innovations to optimize access, protect data wherever it moves, stop threats, and enable secure, work-from-anywhere connectivity. Netskope One is powered by NewEdge, the private cloud infrastructure that underpins Netskope’s delivery of security, networking, analytics, and AI services with fast inference and proven low latency for AI use and agentic workflows, preventing traditional trade-offs between security and performance.
“We believe being named a Leader again in SASE Platforms, and positioned highest in Ability to Execute, reflects the trust customers place in Netskope to modernize their security and networking for today’s AI-first business requirements,” said Sanjay Beri, CEO and co-founder, Netskope. “We built Netskope One so customers never have to choose between AI-ready security and network performance. Along with our continued innovation in data protection, data sovereignty controls, and extending SASE functionality with agentic operations to automate SASE workflows, we feel this recognition underscores how we’re successfully delivering on that vision at scale.”
In our view, Netskope’s recognition in leading SASE, SSE, and AI capabilities all align to Gartner forecast[1], and strategic planning assumptions[2] for the SASE market, which include:
- By 2028, 50% of new SASE deployments will be based on a single-vendor SASE platform offering (up from 30% in 2025), and 70% of SD-WAN purchases will be part of these single-vendor offerings.
- By 2028, vendors lacking a feature-rich SASE platform with strong AI controls and key integrations (such as data security posture management [DSPM] and secure enterprise browser [SEB]) will need to partner with others to stay competitive.
- By 2027, 30% of organizations will require comprehensive sovereignty of their cloud security controls to address continued geopolitical turmoil.
