Netskope for the UK Public Sector

Netskope ensures resilience against cyber threats with consolidated threat protection, data security, and network controls. With real-time in-line data and threat protection capabilities, crucial for detecting and mitigating risks. Powered by full compute data centres in over 70 regions, including London and Manchester. Ensuring security coverage of government operations, during failover or maintenance situations, even when out-of-country data center is used.

Netskope’s architecture incorporates security from the ground up, aligning with the ‘Secure by Design’ approach. Seamlessly integrating with existing systems, enforcing security policies and practices throughout the lifecycle of services and data. Using our own NewEdge Network to directly control the performance and reliability that public sector users and citizens experience.

Netskope offers comprehensive visibility and control over users, devices, and applications, enabling leaders to enforce security policies effectively and cultivate a security-conscious culture through analytics and risk assessments. This proactive cybersecurity approach, supported by innovative solutions like UEBA and real-time coaching features, empowers government departments and public services to monitor, analyse, and guide user behaviors, fostering secure practices and enhancing overall security resilience.

The Netskope One SASE platform facilitates secure integration with various cloud services and third-party applications. This helps the public sector in building strong partnerships and collaborations with the private sector to enhance the government’s cyber defences by ensuring that all shared data and services are protected under consistent security policies, regardless of where they are accessed from or stored.

This is exemplified by alliances with global integrators like Deloitte and a range of other alliance partners, which enhance cybersecurity protections and support digital transformation initiatives.

The Netskope Zero Trust Engine continually gathers and monitors risk telemetry associated with users, location, data, devices, applications and instances, activity and behvaiour. This process establishes continuous adaptive trust, providing government functions – from the delivery of public services to the operation of National Security apparatus – with exceptional contextual awareness.

Empowered by the breadth and depth of contextual insights, highly precise and granular policy decisions can be made that dynamically adjust to the changing risk landscape. Continuous adaptive trust signifies a shift away from the traditional binary approach of block or allow in policy enforcement, offering a more sophisticated and nuanced execution of zero trust.
