Zero-Trust Security Model Applied to Netskope Intelligent SSE

The current situation with legacy on-premises security defenses trying to support a hybrid work environment and zero-trust principles is challenging for companies. Complications can include poor user experience, complexity of disjointed solutions, high cost of operations, and increased security risks with potential data exposure. Simple “allow and deny” controls lack an understanding of transactional risk to adapt policy controls and don’t provide real-time coaching to users. This white paper takes the position of consolidating security defenses into a security service edge (SSE) cloud platform to reduce security risks and protect data, support zero-trust principles, improve user experiences, and to enable business agility. This position supports a wider range of use cases with adaptive access policy controls related to transactional risk while providing least-privilege access and protecting data.
