Netskope for Microsoft Teams

All-mode architecture

The unique Netskope all-mode architecture offers you a full array of deployment options to gain visibility and control of Microsoft Teams, whether your users are on premises or remote, using a web browser, mobile app, or sync client. Options include out-of-band API protection into Microsoft Teams as well as forward and reverse proxy modes for real-time policy controls for Microsoft Teams and its ecosystem.

• API protection provides direct, out-of-band connection into Microsoft Teams
• Reverse proxy covers Microsoft Teams access from outside your network
• Forward proxy covers any cloud service, including Microsoft Teams and its ecosystem
• Different modes can be combined to expand your coverage

Context and control

Netskope gives you a deep understanding of your organization’s usage of Microsoft Teams and of any ecosystem services that share data with Microsoft Teams. You can view details such as user, device, location, service, activity, and data, and assess risk by understanding how sensitive data in Microsoft Teams is being shared.

• Understand usage by identity, service, activity, and data
• Distinguish between different Microsoft Team instances
• Mitigate risk of inappropriate sharing and public links
• Focus policies on specific risky activities

Real-time enforcement

• Deploy in-line with cloud application traffic to allow enforcement of policies stopping threats and data loss in real-time (not retrospectively like an API-only CASB)
• Prevent risks to your organization’s data anywhere in the cloud, regardless of user, location, or device

Threat protection

Netskope is the only CASB with complete threat defense for Microsoft Teams and its service ecosystem, combining unparalleled cloud visibility with multi-layered threat detection and integrated remediation workflows. Netskope can quickly detect, prevent, and remediate the effects of cloud threats, which too often evade existing security solutions.

• Threat protection with unique cloud vantage point
• Detect anomalies that could indicate an active threat
• Proprietary threat intelligence from Netskope Threat Research Labs complemented by 40+ external sources.

Comprehensive DLP

Netskope DLP protects sensitive data in the cloud with accuracy and precision, with the ability to inspect all sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud services as well as traffic to websites. Sensitive content is detected across 1000+ file types and across structured and unstructured data, using 3,000+ data identifiers, metadata extraction, proximity analysis, fingerprinting, exact match, and more.

• Control sensitive data in Microsoft Teams and en route to and from all cloud services
• Get the highest degree of accuracy with fingerprinting and exact match
• Further increase accuracy with keyword dictionaries, global data identifiers, and more
• Target DLP policies using context like user, group, device, service, and activity
