Netskope for State and Local Government

Transform branch and remote access

Enable safe, seamless access to apps, internal data, and secure environments legacy VPNs.

Protect sensitive data and genAI usage

Gain full data visibility. See who accesses critical data, how often, and where it moves—no more blind spots.

Optimize costs and network performance

Reduce security tool sprawl and complexity, cut MPLS costs, and improve user experience.

Stronger security, smarter connectivity

Netskope enables public sector organizations to simplify security, improve performance, and optimize IT investments—all without compromising protection.

Fast, secure remote access

Legacy VPNs create bottlenecks, increase security risks, and degrade user experience. Netskope One Private Access replaces outdated remote access solutions with fast, policy-driven zero trust network access (ZTNA) to internal applications. By eliminating standing access and enforcing strict identity-based controls, organizations can provide seamless, secure connectivity while reducing attack surfaces.

Replace VPNs

Stronger cloud and SaaS security

State and local agencies increasingly rely on M365, AWS, Azure, and GCP for critical operations. Netskope One Security Service Edge (SSE) ensures that sensitive data remains protected with a combination of Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and unified data security policies and controls. This comprehensive security approach provides full visibility and policy enforcement, reducing risks associated with shadow IT, misconfigurations, and evolving cyber threats.

Granular security for contractors and IoT

Unmanaged devices, IoT, and third-party contractors introduce significant security risks, making it difficult to control access to sensitive systems and data. Netskope One Private Access ensures that only authorized users and verified devices can connect to critical applications, enforcing least-privilege access without requiring a VPN. While Netskope One Device Intelligence provides unprecedented visibility into all connected devices across networks and branch offices. By reducing exposure to potential threats, organizations can strengthen security while enabling external partnerships and digital transformation initiatives.

AI governance and data protection

The rapid adoption of generative AI and machine learning tools presents new challenges, including data exfiltration risks and compliance concerns. Netskope provides deep visibility into how genAI is being used in state and local government, where sensitive data is being processed, and whether security policies are being enforced effectively. By proactively monitoring AI-driven activity, organizations can protect against unauthorized data movement, prevent accidental exposure, and ensure alignment with state and federal cybersecurity regulations.

Cost avoidance and better performance

Government and education IT budgets are often constrained by the high costs of MPLS networks, legacy VPNs, and fragmented security solutions. Netskope helps organizations reduce expenses by consolidating SWG, CASB, ZTNA, and SDWAN into a single unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform, Netskope One. This unified approach not only optimizes network performance but also simplifies security management, reduces operational overhead, and improves user experience—all without compromising protection.
