Back 
One of the benefits of a secure access service edge (SASE) framework is that organizations can dramatically simplify the implementation of security services without having to go through constant network redesigns and appliance operating system updates. The new advanced security capabilities for Netskope Cloud Firewall, which we are introducing today, exemplify these principles, by allowing organizations to implement a number of important protections by enabling services without having to redesign the network or plan for outages.
Providing granular classification and enforcement with app control
The first new capability is app control for Netskope Cloud Firewall. To understand how Netskope delivers app control, it’s important to first recap a few key concepts. To start, many Netskope customers today use Next Gen SWG to overcome the lack of visibility of cloud and web activity within their current environment. By leveraging Netskope Next Gen SWG, organizations are able to assert context-driven, fine-grained activity control over 100+ criteria across cloud and web in ways that traditional hardware firewalls cannot.
But the difference is not purely a matter of functionality. Hardware firewalls have physical constraints both in location and computing resources. One cannot easily move a firewall when
