Netskope for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC v2.0)

Netskope provides a comprehensive platform to automate and enforce the 14 domains of CMMC 2.0.

• Data protection and access control: Netskope combines cloud access security broker (CASB) and next-generation secure web gateway (NG‑SWG) with a machine learning-driven data loss prevention (DLP) engine to secure sensitive data across web, cloud, and endpoints. It enforces context-aware policies, enables role-based access, and supports incident response with encryption, logging, and monitoring for investigation and control.
• AI-driven contextual awareness: SkopeAI enhances DLP by providing deep contextual awareness to analyze and protect complex unstructured data (like images) and detects zero-day threats with superior speed and accuracy.
• Secure remote access: Zero trust network access (ZTNA Next) provides remote access to on-premises or cloud-hosted private applications from any device. It secures data in use and in motion with end-to-end encryption and applies granular access limits based on zero trust principles.
• Adaptive authentication: The NG-SWG integrates seamlessly with NIST-compliant identity providers to extend single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA). Rather than relying on simple allow or block rules, context-aware controls can enforce stronger MFA for risky behavior, suggest safer alternatives, or require business justifications.
• Preventing misconfigurations: SaaS security posture management (SSPM) oversees SaaS functions, preventing misconfigurations, and also integrates with cloud ticket orchestrator (CTO) for automated responses, converting past misconfigurations into new security rules.
• Automated remediation: Both posture management tools integrate directly with Netskope’s CTO, automating remediation workflows by generating service tickets and allowing organizations to turn detected misconfigurations into new security rules over time.
• Advanced malware defense: Netskope layers its defenses to protect against known and polymorphic malware, phishing, and web threats. Advanced threat protection uses deobfuscation, recursive file unpacking, and multi-stage sandboxing.
• Remote browser isolation (RBI): To protect internal networks from malicious code, RBI isolates risky websites within a secure, cloud-based sandbox.
• Secured connectivity: Borderless SD-WAN extends the network perimeter to any user globally via Netskope’s high-availability New Edge Network, enforcing consistent policy controls and adaptive trust. Simultaneously, the cloud firewall secures outbound traffic across all ports and protocols without backhauling, mitigating DDoS and DNS attacks.
• Device intelligence: This feature identifies and classifies all managed and unmanaged devices on the network. Using AI and machine learning, it establishes normal behavior baselines, detects anomalies, segments risky devices, and applies zero trust access controls.
• Behavioral analytics: Netskope’s advanced user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) uses machine learning to assign a dynamic User Confidence Index (UCI) risk score to users. This allows organizations to adapt policies, mitigate insider threats, and recommend targeted security training.
• Streamlined investigations: Netskope’s solutions decode over 100 inline activities to log comprehensive events, supporting non-repudiation of user actions. The cloud log shipper exports these detailed event and alert logs directly to your organization’s SIEM tool for automated incident response.
• Threat sharing: The cloud threat exchange (CTE) and cloud risk exchange (CRE) facilitate near real-time sharing of threat indicators such as malicious URLs and normalize risk scores from third-party tools to enforce adaptive controls across the organization.
