Singapore – Cybersecurity company Netskope has released new enhancements to the company’s Netskope One Enterprise Browser, aiming to strengthen its unified data security capabilities.
These newly added features on the Enterprise Browser integrated with the Netskope One platform’s security service edge capability enable organisations to increase productivity. Said move also streamlines the security of how unmanaged devices and temporary workers connect to websites, applications, and other resources.
As per the firm, bring-your-own-device policies and the temporary work requirements of contractors are two of many use cases that can create security risks for businesses based on access to data.
This means that with enterprise browser functionality well integrated with a full SSE offering, organisations can ensure data security across cloud and SaaS interactions while preventing data leaks to apps and unmanaged devices. SSE adaptive policy controls remain consistently enforced.
Speaking about the enhancements, John Martin, chief product officer at Netskope, said, “Enterprise browser functionality should be delivered as part of a unified data security solution. At Netskope, our strategy has always been to enable modern data security using the broadest and deepest protection from a single, holistic platform.”
“As we shared our continued expansion plans with security and networking leaders over the past year, it quickly became clear that enterprise browser capabilities are best when integrated at the architecture level, making use of full SSE data security and adaptive policy controls, not just as a product add-on,” he also said.
Moreover, the integration of Enterprise Browser with the full SSE capabilities of the Netskope One platform allows organisations to accelerate time-to-value and operational efficiency. More importantly, it offers the ability to extend current SSE application control policies to unmanaged device users and temporary users such as contractors working as part of a merger & acquisition process.
Among the current advantages, One Enterprise Browser today includes enabling seamless, secure access for unmanaged devices and temporary workers to websites and applications using a hardened, managed Chromium-based browser built by Netskope engineers.
It also integrates with enterprise identity providers for user authentication and context, alongside the application of zero trust principles for adaptive access that leverages rich context from overall SSE policy controls.
Organisations can now access Netskope One Enterprise Browser, available as an independent solution or seamlessly integrated into SSE subscription packages.
This particular platform further prevents data leakage to apps and to unmanaged endpoints while also using high-performance global access through the Netskope One platform’s underlying NewEdge network.
