SASE

Cut the cord on VPNs

Modernize the legacy infrastructure holding your agency back. Give every user, in any office or agency, fast zero trust access to the apps and systems they need. No legacy hardware, no bottlenecks.

DATA SECURITY

Know where your sensitive data is, always

Track citizen records, case files, and constituent data everywhere it goes across SaaS, cloud, web and AI. Stop it the moment it heads somewhere it shouldn’t.

AI SECURITY

See every AI app and agent. Control what happens next

Get full visibility into shadow AI, managed tools, and autonomous agents. Coach users through risky moments in real-time, block sensitive data before it leaves, and keep your agency moving fast with AI.

Fewer tools. Faster network. Real security.

Netskope One replaces a patchwork of VPNs, branch firewalls, and point tools with one converged platform, delivered over a private global cloud built for speed.

One platform instead of a stack of point products

Converge networking and security, including zero trust network access, web gateway, CASB, and SD-WAN, into a single, cloud delivered platform. Replace slow, high risk VPNs with fast, least-privilege access, without adding another point product to manage.

Discover
See what others miss. Gain deep visibility and context across users, devices, apps, and AI. Discover where sensitive data lives and how it flows so you can close gaps before they become threats.
Govern
Turn context into precise control. Adapt access and actions in real time based on user, device, app, data, activity, and risk instead of static rules.
Secure
Stop threats and protect sensitive data wherever it goes. Prevent malware, ransomware and data loss, and risky AI activity before they disrupt operations or put your agency at risk.

Secure sensitive data, wherever it goes

Solving the problems agencies face today

From remote access to AI, one platform to solve your agency’s toughest challenges.

VPN replacement

chevron

VPN exploitation is now the single most common way attackers get into government networks. Netskope replaces slow, exploitable VPNs with fast, least-privilege zero trust access instead. Users get the access they need without giving attackers a way in too.

chevron Replace VPNs

Prevent data loss

chevron

From an accidental email to a risky AI prompt, sensitive data can leave your agency in seconds. Netskope catches it automatically, whether it’s a case file, tax record, or benefits file, before it becomes a breach report. Built-in accuracy cuts the false positives your team has to chase down.

Ransomware protection

chevron

Ransomware and encrypted threats slip through tools that only inspect traffic in pieces, one gap is all it takes. Netskope decrypts and scans all web, cloud, and private app traffic in a single pass, using AI/ML detection and real-time sandboxing to catch what signature-based tools miss, before it ever reaches city networks or case systems.

AI governance

chevron

Netskope finds every AI app, model and agent in use across your agency. It then governs the full lifecycle: controlling access, blocking sensitive data from leaving, coaching risky prompts in the moment, and stopping attacks such as prompt injection before they succeed.

chevron Secure AI

Whole of state security

chevron

Every county, city, and school district deserves the same level of protection as the state itself, not a patchwork of one off deployments. Netskope enables a state to extend one platform, and one set of controls mapped to NIST CSF and FedRAMP High, to every jurisdiction that needs it.

Cloud and SaaS security

chevron

Agencies run on M365, AWS, Azure, and GCP, but most IT teams can’t see every app, misconfiguration, or unmanaged SaaS tool running underneath them. Netskope gives full visibility and control across every cloud and SaaS app in use, managed or not, enforcing one consistent policy instead of a patchwork of settings. Shadow IT stops being a blind spot, and becomes just another thing your team has covered.

Consolidate. Simplify. Accelerate

Fewer tools, one platform
Eliminate overlapping VPN, firewall, CASB, and DLP tools by replacing them with one platform that does the job of all of them, so your team stops managing point products that were never built to work together.
Multi-layer protection
One policy, enforced everywhere
Unify security policies and access controls across every user, office, and jurisdiction, so a small IT team manages one policy instead of a different tool for every use case.
Less maintenance today, ready for what’s next
Netskope is delivered as a cloud service, so there are no appliances to patch and no hardware refreshes. As state mandates and threats evolve, new capabilities plug into the platform you already run, instead of requiring another point product.

Built to meet stringent government standards

Netskope upholds the highest standards of security, performance, and transparency to protect the federal government.

How does Netskope protect municipal infrastructure from local ransomware and cyber threats? link link

Netskope protects municipal infrastructure by decrypting and inspecting all web, cloud, AI and private application traffic in a single pass, using AI-powered behavioral detection and real-time sandboxing to catch ransomware and zero-day threats that signature-based tools miss. Because exploited VPNs are one of the most common ways ransomware reaches local government networks, Netskope also replaces broad-access VPNs with zero trust network access, so a compromised credential can’t move laterally into case management, billing, or public safety systems.

Can Netskope secure the use of generative AI tools within government agencies? link link

Yes. Municipal, county, and state workers increasingly use generative AI to speed up administrative tasks and public communications, but pasting citizen data into a public AI tool creates a real compliance risk. Netskope discovers every AI app and model in use, then enforces real-time AI guardrails that automatically block sensitive data, such as tax records, case files, or citizen PII, from being submitted to public AI models. It also coaches users in the moment when a prompt looks risky, so agencies can build up better security practices within their workforce and adopt AI without creating new regulatory exposure.

How does Netskope help state and local agencies satisfy data privacy laws and compliance framework? link link

Netskope holds FedRAMP High Authorization, the highest standard for government cloud security, and supports compliance with HIPAA, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), SOC 2/3 and ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018 frameworks. For state and local government teams specifically, Netskope maps its security controls directly to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) v2.0, giving your IT team audit-ready visibility, continuous data isolation, and traceable reporting to prove compliance to state auditors.

How can we immediately procure Netskope without navigating a lengthy standalone RFP process? link link

To accommodate rigid state budget timelines, Netskope is available through major pre-negotiated cooperative purchasing and contract vehicles at the state, regional, and national level, so agencies can acquire Netskope without running a standalone RFP. Current vehicles include NASPO ValuePoint, OMNIA Partners, Texas DIR, CMAS (California), Cal eProcure, the City of Seattle, IPHEC, Maryland CATS, NY Office of General Services, Orange County, New Mexico, and the University of California.

How does a unified SASE platform lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for local and state governments? link link

Netskope lowers total cost of ownership by replacing a fragmented patchwork of point products, separate firewalls, web filters, and VPN appliances with a single converged SASE architecture managed from one cloud console. This eliminates redundant multi-vendor licensing, cutting expensive MPLS routing dependencies, and automating compliance reporting all reduce administrative overhead and deliver meaningful budget savings.

How does Netskope help agencies replace legacy VPNs with zero trust access? link link

Legacy VPNs grant broad network-level access and become a top ransomware entry point once a single credential is compromised. Netskope replaces them with zero trust network access (ZTNA), granting each user access to the one application they need, not the whole network, without deploying or maintaining any hardware.
