Netskope One SASE also leverages AI-powered operations to monitor the network at all levels – including users, branches, and clouds – and detect anomalies, enable proactive troubleshooting, and automatically address any poor network conditions to deliver the highest network performance.
“The rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape demands a security architecture that is omniscient and protective not only at the core but all the way to the edge, whether a data center, remote office, road warrior or home/hybrid worker,” said MetTel Chief Technology Officer Ed Fox. “This agreement with Netskope gives MetTel another full SASE stack within a stable of market-leading technologies and partners to expertly deliver a comprehensive network security solution and managed WAN service to our enterprise and government customers as their networks quickly morph to support the AI tidal wave as well as the threats posed by AI.”
