Following its recent recognition as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge (SSE):
- Netskope is again a Leader in both the SSE and SASE Platforms Magic Quadrant reports.
- Netskope is the only vendor positioned as furthest in Completeness of Vision for both Magic Quadrant reports: SSE and SASE Platforms.
- In the forthcoming companion SASE Platforms Critical Capabilities report, Netskope is the only vendor ranked as the highest scoring for three Use Cases and second highest for a fourth Use Case.
Netskope helps organizations modernize for the cloud and AI era by converging critical security, network, and analytics products into Netskope One, a powerful, unified platform.

“The right security and networking architecture is absolutely critical to how organizations modernize. With the purpose-built architecture of the Netskope One platform, and applying AI-ready security, our customers don’t need to accept trade-offs between advanced security capabilities and network performance,” said Sanjay Beri, CEO and co-founder, Netskope. “We are very proud of our continued recognition as a Leader in SASE, SSE, and other market categories. In this specific report, it is validating to see Gartner’s recognition of Netskope as likely to shape the SASE Platforms market, including with our innovations in post-quantum cryptography and how we are diligently extending SASE to nonhuman AI agents. We are committed to innovation and meeting our customers anywhere they are in their SSE and SASE journeys.”
