Singapore – Netskope, a cybersecurity firm, has recently announced the acquisition and integration of DSPM innovator Dasera. This strategic move complements the company’s commitment to expanding its data security solutions through the incorporation of data security posture management capabilities.
According to the firm, the said initiative enables Netskope customers and partners to benefit from an even broader range of capabilities. In particular, Netskope’s fully unified data protection solution offers advanced security across web, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, email, endpoint, and on-premises use cases, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data stores and data lakes.
According to the firm, modern data protection remains essential as organisations optimise hybrid work environments, adopt artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, address evolving privacy regulations, and confront the growing landscape of security threats.
The Netskope One platform, in particular, provides advanced data protection at scale across web, cloud, email, endpoint, and on-premises needs for thousands of enterprise organisations worldwide, including over 30 of the Fortune 100.
Speaking about the recent endeavour, Sanjay Beri, CEO and co-founder at Netskope, said, “An enterprise’s modern data security strategy aims to holistically know and control where their data is, what this data is, how it got there, the posture of the data store, how sensitive data is being used, who or what has access to it, and how to ensure real-time and granular data policies are enforced.”
He further explained, “Our goal has always been to enable this modern data security strategy by bringing the broadest and deepest data protection using a single, holistic platform, which we call Netskope One. In my dialogue with security leaders around the world in the past months, it is clear that they are excited for DSPM capabilities to be part of the Netskope One platform.”
“The last thing they want is yet another point solution trying to tackle one part of the data protection problem—so, having a truly unified platform like Netskope One to cover the breadth and depth of their use cases across web, cloud, email, endpoint, on-prem, and wherever their data is has been very appealing,” concluded Beri.
The Netskope DSPM module is generally available as part of the Netskope One platform immediately.
