Latest data centers extend carrier-grade private cloud network to deliver high-performance cloud, web, and private application security across Latin America
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – April 21, 2020 – Netskope, the leading security cloud, today announced the expansion of the Netskope NewEdge network to new data centers in Buenos Aires, Argentina; São Paulo, Brazil; Santiago, Chile; and Bogotá, Colombia. Serving millions of enterprise users around the world, Netskope NewEdge is a carrier-grade private cloud network that is reserved exclusively for Netskope customers.
The decades-long efforts to digitally transform enterprises have pushed the capabilities of the public internet to its maximum. Inherently unpredictable and unsecure, the public internet is strained by users who demand great web, cloud, and private application performance and enterprises that demand more security. Compounding this challenge, legacy security tools often introduce delays to accessing these critical services. As a result, industry analysts have scrutinized the reliance on the public internet for security of these services, giving rise to new architectural frameworks like Gartner’s “secure access service edge” (SASE) that enterprise security leaders are moving to adopt.
Netskope NewEdge is built by industry veterans representing the largest and most performant networks ever built. Like no other network, NewEdge delivers inline security services through a carrier-grade, next-generation global infrastructure based on advanced application and network optimization technologies and processes. As a private cloud network, NewEdge optimizes connectivity with its resilient global architecture, which is directly peered with major providers, mitigating the challenge of the public internet. This enhances the overall user experience, resulting in a better web, cloud, and private application performance for most Netskope customers.
The Netskope Security Cloud, delivered on NewEdge, provides unrivaled visibility and real-time data and threat protection for cloud services, websites, and private apps accessed from anywhere, on any device. No other company in the market has addressed shifting demands by combining next-generation SWG capabilities, the world’s leading CASB, and advanced machine learning to detect unauthorized data exfiltration and advanced threat protection.
This expansion of Netskope NewEdge follows the recent announcement of general availability of Netskope Private Access, a cloud-based Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution that provides remote offices and remote employees with fast and secure access to private applications, databases, file shares, servers and other services hosted in public clouds and enterprise data centers.
