Netskope recently announced our membership in Microsoft’s Networking Partner Program (NPP). This is a key milestone in Netskope’s strategic partnership with Microsoft. Netskope’s validated solution aligns with NPP Network Connectivity Principles by default, with Microsoft 365 traffic being passed transparently.
When Microsoft and Netskope joint customers use this approach, customers receive multiple benefits, including NG-SWG capabilities for web and non-Microsoft cloud applications and CASB API protections for M365 and non-Microsoft cloud applications, with seamless application of Microsoft Information Protection to data consumed by cloud applications. Netskope’s robust understanding of cloud usage can be ingested and used by Azure Sentinel.
NPP validation extends the existing partnering between Netskope and Microsoft. The combined solutions of Microsoft and Netskope help companies on their journey to transform to the cloud.
The partnership between Microsoft and Netskope is very broad and extends beyond NPP. Most Netskope customers use M365 today, and the Netskope security portfolio is well integrated with many of Microsoft’s products.
Netskope’s CASB API supports M365 including Exchange, Teams, Sharepoint, and OneDrive. Netskope shares discovered application usage with Microsoft
