Transform how your organization connects to private apps with the industry’s first true VPN replacement, and a strong alternative to NAC and VDI. Netskope’s UZTNA combines ZTNA and bi-directional access for legacy apps in one powerful client. Outperform VPNs with stronger security and better performance.
Stop Guessing. Start Guiding. With Netskope Copilot.
Copilot for Private Access simplifies ZTNA by auto-recommending granular app segments and least-privilege policies for new deployments. For existing environments, it learns from real user data to refine policies, replaces broad destinations with precise ones, and removes unused rules and stale configs.
Enable fast, reliable access with agent-based and browser options. Intelligent policies route traffic via cloud (with auto-failover and shortest-latency paths) or local brokers. Local Broker extends ZTNA to on-prem and OT environments, avoids cloud hairpinning, and adds built-in disaster recovery for resilience.
UZTNA enforces adaptive least-privilege access by continuously evaluating identity, posture, location, activity, behavior, threat intelligence, and data risk. With built-in threat detection and DLP, it secures access from managed and unmanaged devices—including IoT and OT—ensuring consistent protection and data safety everywhere.
Netskope UZTNA extends zero trust beyond users to every connected device. With Device Intelligence, organizations gain visibility, real-time risk scoring, and context-aware access for IoT and OT systems, securing branches, campuses, and factories while reducing attack surface at scale.
Get real-time, end-to-end insights into private app performance with Netskope One Digital Experience Management (DEM). Path-level metrics accelerate troubleshooting, reduce mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR), and simplify compliance, ensuring high-performance, secure access with a single source of truth.

We can quickly onboard and drive value from acquisitions without impacting our security posture, while moving toward our desired goal of secure access anywhere, to anything, and at any time.
From delivering unbeatable security and control to enabling us to operate a variety of technologies as a cohesive system, Netskope is an important part of our journey to ZTNA.
Netskope has given us an easy-to-deploy, centralized cloud platform that has allowed us to retire legacy environments that ran VPNs with direct connections.
Take the 14-Day Netskope Private Access Test Drive—Free
Experience how easy it is to replace legacy VPNs and connect users to private apps anywhere—with one platform, one policy engine, and zero trust built in.
Sticking with traditional VPNs can feel like trying to navigate a modern highway with an outdated map—slow and risky. Now is the time to switch to a cloud-based remote access solution designed for today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges.
Explore how to secure private app access with Netskope One Private Access. This guide outlines how the solution works, its key components, ideal use cases, and the advantages over remote access VPNs, helping you accelerate zero trust adoption.
Netskope One Private Access delivers zero trust network access (ZTNA) to private applications. It delivers secure, direct connectivity for users while reducing attack surface and simplifying operations.
Unlike a VPN that grants access to the whole network, Netskope One Private Access is a ZTNA solution that follows a least-privilege model, connecting users only to specific authorized applications. This dramatically reduces the attack surface and prevents the lateral movement of threats, as unauthorized resources remain completely unreachable.
Yes. Netskope One Private Access makes internal applications invisible to unauthorized users by hiding them from the public web. No direct connection is allowed until the service verifies user identity and device health. This ensures that private resources are invisible to unauthorized users and potential attackers scanning the internet.
Netskope One Private Access provides a transparent and “always-on” connection to private applications. Users do not need to manually log in to a client or separate VPN, which makes the solution a much simpler and faster way to work remotely. For unmanaged or third-party devices, Netskope offers clientless access via browser-based access, including the Netskope One Enterprise Browser, ensuring a fast, frictionless experience without sacrificing security.
Netskope extends ZTNA to on-premises users and operational technology (OT) environments with limited internet connectivity. This allows for local traffic steering and policy enforcement, eliminating cloud hairpinning and ensuring low latency. Additionally, this architecture acts as a critical disaster recovery (DR) mechanism, maintaining resilience and business continuity even if cloud connectivity is interrupted.
Yes. Netskope One Private Access supports a wide range of protocols including SSH and RDP, as well as server-initiated traffic like voice over IP (VoIP) and Microsoft system center configuration manager (SCCM). This makes the platform a comprehensive replacement for traditional remote access tools, VPNs, and network access controls (NACs) in any hybrid environment.
Netskope performs continuous posture assessment, checking for security markers such as disk encryption, active firewalls, or corporate certificates. If a device is found to be at risk, the platform automatically blocks or limits access to protect the network.
It is actually more streamlined. Netskope Private Access AIOps Agent automatically recommends granular access policies. This eliminates the manual complexity of managing traditional firewall rules and IP ranges, allowing security teams to scale their zero trust strategy with much greater speed and accuracy.
