“I’m delighted to help accelerate Netskope’s considerable worldwide momentum,” said Burnside. “As enterprises continue to adopt cloud apps to enable employee productivity and realize cost savings, the need for a security solution to govern usage and protect corporate data is large. I look forward to working with our network of channel partners in the region to drive adoption of Netskope’s cloud access security broker.”
