FAQs

What defenses are used to stop advanced cyber attacks?

Netskope One Threat Protection uses a multi-layered approach including inline ML-based defenses to detect unknown phishing attacks, unknown malicious PE files, HTML smuggling attacks, AV and web-based IPS signature detection, multiple threat intelligence feeds, shared threat IOCs between customer defenses using Cloud Threat Exchange, de-obfuscation and unpacking, pre-execution heuristics and ML analysis of Office files, cloud sandboxing with MITRE analysis, patient zero protection to sandbox and ML analyze files allowing only benign downloads, plus patient zero retrospective alerts on new detections, plus detecting compromised credentials found on the dark web. These layers allow the platform to stop threats at every stage of a cyber attack.

How can security systems identify and block ransomware in real time?

Netskope One Threat Protection monitors for suspicious file behavior and traffic patterns that indicate an attack. The system can then automatically block the connection and isolate the affected files to prevent encryption.

Does threat protection cover personal cloud accounts on work devices?

Yes, Netskope One Threat Protection provides visibility and protection for both corporate and personal instances of cloud apps with inline traffic analysis. For managed SaaS applications, API inspection for data-at-rest with threat protection defenses is also optional. Netskope Threat Labs analysis shows most threats are from personal cloud storage and personal instances of SaaS applications versus company managed SaaS, and this volume matches web threat delivery percentages. This ensures the solution stops threats coming from unmanaged personal accounts of SaaS applications to managed devices and company networks.

How does a security platform handle modern phishing attacks?

Netskope One Threat Protection uses real time AI/ML-based URL analysis and image recognition to detect and block unknown phishing sites, alongside traditional defenses to block known phishing attacks, domains, and URLs. This protection is always active in our standard threat protection, ensuring the platform stops phishing links even if they are brand new.

Can threat data be shared with other security tools in the stack?

Yes, Netskope One Threat Protection can automatically share threat indicators (IOCs, file hashes, URLs) with your EDR, XDR and SIEM via Cloud Threat Exchange. This allows the organization to create a more automated and coordinated defense across the company. Cloud Exchange and its modules like Cloud Threat Exchange are provided at no charge to licensed customers.
