SWG is a security solution that monitors and controls inbound and outbound web traffic to protect against web-based threats such as malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access to sensitive data.

SASE is a network architecture that combines wide-area networking (WAN) capabilities with network security functions like secure web gateways, cloud access security brokers (CASB), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to provide secure, scalable, and flexible access to applications and resources.

ZTNA is a security model that verifies and authenticates user identities and devices before granting access to applications and resources, regardless of their location or network environment.

ZTNA Next offers coverage for all types of private applications, supporting both client-initiated and server-initiated traffic flows. This enables secure access to web applications and non-web/thick clients (e.g. SSH, RDP, Microsoft Windows Active Directory). ZTNA Next Browser Access also supports clientless access for third-party or employee “bring your own device” (BYOD) use cases.

The user-to-application traffic is optimally routed through the Netskope NewEdge network, with its global coverage, premium transit selection, and extensive peering to cloud providers, to deliver a superior user experience and fast application performance.

ZTNA Next enhances your organization’s security posture with the zero trust security model. Unlike remote access VPN, ZTNA Next provides contextual, risk-based application access, not network access. ZTNA Next minimizes overall attack surface area by eliminating the exposure of protocols and services to the public internet. Private resources are not visible on the public internet and are shielded from attackers.

Netskope extends controls over data collaborated on during private access sessions with inline DLP policies, providing visibility of sensitive data from a single console.
