An important part of the Netskope vision centers around the responsibility we have for supporting our wider communities. This is apparent in the way that our technology helps the global security community protect against the ever evolving threat landscape. But we believe it’s also incredibly important that we go beyond technology, and harness the power of our people and other resources to do good.
With this in mind, we recently introduced Netskope for Good; a program dedicated to giving back to our global team’s communities through our time, talent and resources, including two annual dedicated volunteer days and annual giving drives. I recently had an opportunity to sit down with our CEO Sanjay Beri, to understand why he believes this program is so important to our vision at Netskope. I wanted to understand what the program meant to him personally and the impact he believes programs like this can have on company culture and stakeholder engagement.
Here is what I learned when I interviewed him:
Jennica Sims: What does “Netskope for Good” mean to you?
Sanjay Beri: When you build a company, you build it for a lot of reasons; whether it’s because you’re passionate about the industry and want to make a big impact; or maybe you love building and being an entrepreneur; or you get a thrill out of bringing a great team together to be successful. For me, these are all true, but I also built Netskope because I believe in my heart that what we’re doing can have a broader, positive impact on the world.
I am determined that this goal sits at the core of what we do; defending against what is now the most prolific criminal activity in the world. To highlight an example, I was recently speaking with a hospital and they couldn’t operate on their patients because one of their suppliers was under a ransomware attack. The core concept of what we do is to defend against the criminals and attackers who (in this case) take down life saving hospitals, steal data, and victimize the elderly. The core concept of Netskope can be boiled down to defending those who positively contribute to society, against those who are doing something nefarious.
Netskope for Good, as a program, is about enhancing our central mission to consciously apply our resources, technology, and talent for specifically identified good causes. As a recent example, this can be seen with the work we’re doing with Orange, supporting Tenaka to restore coral reefs in Malaysia. And you see it with the efforts our teams make to donate technology or time in our broader industry and communities—something we systematically support. So I think of Netskope for Good in multiple ways. It’s about our mission, but it’s also about our talents, time, technology, and our wider communities.
JS: What excites you most about giving back, here at Netskope?
SB: I am particularly keen on the idea of giving time to good causes because time is probably everyone’s most precious resource. It’s important to me that we giv
