Apex Group is a financial services group providing global, local, and cross-jurisdictional services. Apex Group looked to Netskope to consolidate its security and realized enhanced compliance, smooth M&A integration, superior end-user experience, and cost savings.
BDO is the world’s fifth-largest consultancy, accountancy, and assurance firm. We rely on Netskope to secure operations as we future-proof the business through digitalization of professional services and the introduction of AI.
Removing the VPN brought enormous cost savings. We saved all the money we would have had to reinvest in old, antiquated equipment.
Recognized by Gartner as a Leader positioned furthest in Vision for both SSE and SASE Platforms, Netskope delivers a unified solution designed to enable the strategic needs and daily realities of securing financial services.

Managing multiple security appliances is costly. Platform consolidation allows you to replace multiple point products—like SWG, CASB, ZTNA, SD-WAN, and DLP —with a single, integrated stack. This shift simplifies operations, reduces TCO, and frees your teams for strategic work, accelerating service delivery.
To control risk, you must inspect all traffic. The Netskope Zero Trust Engine continuously gathers risk telemetry on identity, device, app, data, behavior and more. It eliminates blind spots by understanding API, JSON, and MCP traffic to inform real-time adaptive access controls (RTAAC). This continuous inspection manages external threats and insider risks across all dispersed cloud, AI, and on-premises systems.
We all want to innovate and experiment with AI, but must protect sensitive data from public models. Netskope delivers end-to-end AI security with deep visibility, application risk assessment, real-time DLP, and unified policy controls. It enables institutions to meet compliance, avoid exposure and shadow AI (even in AI-enhanced SaaS apps), and assures the Risk Committee that AI model oversight aligns with existing data governance frameworks.
Sensitive data constantly flows outside the network via cloud and private apps, complicating compliance. Netskope provides unified DLP and DSPM, ensuring discovery of structured and unstructured data, and protection at rest, in motion, and in use. This empowers DPOs and CISOs to confidently demonstrate proactive risk management and compliance, helping reduce the risk of a severe breach by up to 80% (Source).
Support regulatory compliance across DORA, GDPR, NIS 2, PCI, and many other important regulatory requirements and data privacy regulations.
As branches modernize and devices, including ATMs, become increasingly connected, financial services firms require the flexibility to evolve rapidly with changing demands.
Netskope One SD-WAN, powered by the Netskope One Gateway, solves this challenge by consolidating routing, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, App FW, IPS, IoT Device Intelligence, and digital experience management into one unified SASE solution. This provides the agility your digital business needs, ensuring network traffic takes the fastest, most reliable route and delivering context-aware AppQoE cloud and genAI applications.
Traditional VPN architecture enables broad access and lateral movement, failing modern ICT risk requirements. Universal zero trust network access (UZTNA) eliminates this by enforcing least privilege access to applications anywhere. This unwinds tactical remote access decisions, providing secure, unified access and eliminating complex legacy network access control systems.
Expanding globally is challenging due to latency and data residency. Netskope’s NewEdge Network, our private security cloud, solves this by delivering low-latency performance and eliminating backhaul. Powered by data centres in 79 regions, with full compute for traffic processing at every location (including China-compliant breakouts), we ensure consistent security, compliance, and data sovereignty rules are met, allowing you to scale with confidence.
The financial world demands non-stop resilience. The Netskope NewEdge Network, a highly performant private cloud, ensures high availability and mitigates third-party outages. The platform uses proactive monitoring and AI to identify performance issues before they impact the business, ensuring critical applications run smoothly and consistently.
