Netskope for Retail

Modern retail: secure, connected, and AI‑ready

The Netskope One platform uses a unified architecture that brings policy enforcement and traffic steering inline at the edge such that every user session, web, SaaS, private apps, and AI traffic is processed in a single pass. Because all traffic passes through this control point, retailers gain end-to-end visibility and a single policy implementation on different locations, employees, and applications, which helps them run several retail branches, ecommerce networks, and AI tools without trading security for performance.

95%

Secure data and access everywhere

As work, data, and apps move beyond the perimeter, data and access becomes fragmented and risky. Netskope secures data and access everywhere with real time, identity aware controls so users can safely work from any location without exposing data.

Operate with high uptime

Retail operations never stop, Netskope delivers always‑on security through a resilient, high‑performance private network designed for scale, availability, and continuous protection.

AI-enabled customer experience

Run AI in stores, ecommerce, and service while controlling access to customer, payment, and inventory data, preventing misuse and keeping activity secure and ready for audit.

Netskope One Platform

The Netskope One platform unifies all the core components of secure access service edge (SASE), AI security, and data security into a single architecture, including secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), zero trust network access (ZTNA), end-to-end AI security capabilities, unified data security, firewall as a service (FWaaS), and software defined wide area network (SD-WAN), all with a single zero trust engine and policy framework.

Manage Shadow IT in stores

Store managers use personal Dropbox or Google Drive accounts to share files when approved tools are too slow. Company data leaves the business with no visibility or control. Netskope One Next Gen SWG and CASB block file uploads to personal accounts without restricting web access.

Prevent accidental leaks to AI tools

A marketing employee pastes a customer list into a public AI tool. Names, emails, and home addresses are exposed the moment the prompt is sent. Next Gen SWG inspects prompts in real time, warns the user, and Netskope One DLP blocks sensitive data from leaving.

Avoid network failures at the register

An internet service provider (ISP) slowdown during peak trading causes point of sale (POS) systems to lag. Lines back up and sales are lost. Netskope One Digital Experience Management pinpoints the congestion instantly and the Netskope NewEdge Network reroutes payment traffic automatically, keeping transactions fast and registers moving.

Contain compromised IoT devices

Inventory scanners and self-checkout kiosks cannot run traditional security software, making them easy targets. Netskope One Private Access segments each device by identity and function. A compromised scanner stays isolated and cannot reach card processing systems.

Govern autonomous AI agents

A retailer deploys an AI agent to reorder stock automatically. Without controls, it could access payroll systems or exceed spending limits. Netskope One AI Gateway enforces strict permissions and logs every API call for compliance and audit purposes.

Secure day one access after an acquisition

After acquiring a regional brand, employees need system access immediately but network rebuilds take months. Netskope One Private Access grants identity-based access to specific apps without placing new staff on the corporate network from day one.

Our guests want to enjoy the ski experience, yet they expect the same digital services they use at home, so we must provide fast internet connectivity, including on the mountains.
