Comprehensive coverage
Achieve the industry’s most comprehensive data protection coverage: consistently discover, monitor, and protect sensitive data across every network, cloud, endpoint, email and user. Delivered from a centralized cloud service, it provides comprehensive coverage and unified data protection policies for every location where data is stored, used or transferred.
Precise and reliable
Attain the highest degree of data protection efficacy to address real risks through the most accurate automatic data detection technologies powered by ML. Netskope One DLP delivers accurate detection of all sensitive data in any form with the lowest degree of error possible. This is achieved through a broad set of detection technologies and advanced data classification tools.
Effortless and easy
Ensure the simplest and the most cost effective enterprise DLP deployment and real-time cloud delivered updates. Cloud-delivered and natively integrated into the Netskope One Security Service Edge (SSE) solution, it drastically simplifies deployment, eliminating the need for additional on-prem infrastructure components. Its centralized cloud console and unified policies deliver consistency everywhere.
Risk-aware data protection
Data protection technology must shift from a static model, made of fixed policies, to a dynamic and adaptive zero trust approach, that leverages security context and continually enables the proper protection automatically based on changing conditions. Netskope One DLP is zero trust data protection, aware of security context, organizational risks and changing behaviors in order to automatically adapt its response to data security incidents and violations.
Powered by AI
Automatically detect and safeguard new data with SkopeAI DLP. With the power of AI and adaptive learning, its groundbreaking ML Classifiers and Train Your Own Classifiers (TYOC) technology enable you to operate at the pace of AI, proactively identifying and protecting your critical data with unmatched reliability and staying ahead of the modern data sprawl.
Use cases
Gain deep visibility into data everywhere
Automatically discover sensitive data like SSN, ID, address and other Personal Identifiable Information (PII), payment card numbers and financial information and Intellectual Property (IP). See where sensitive data is and moves across the entire corporate environment on-premises and in the cloud.
Prevent data breaches
Discover data theft, third party policy violations, and malicious exfiltration of sensitive data by external cybercriminals, malware and other attack vectors.
Stop unintentional and risky data exposure
Prevent insider threats exposing sensitive data accidentally or negligently. Monitor oversharing of sensitive data in the cloud, data transfers to shadow IT applications, to personal email, frequent USB copies etc.
Prevent malicious insider risk
Detect employees’ anomalous behavior, intentional exfiltration and policy violations. Prevent malicious data transfers, enforce continuous and adaptive risk assessment and ongoing trust verification.
Ensure regulatory compliance
Meet regulatory compliance mandates with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, GLBA, PCI-DSS and others through advanced DLP, granular access controls, audits, reporting, and strong encryption of sensitive data.
Coach users in real time on safe behavior
Alert and coach users on data loss risks, including the context of app risk and user risk, when performing activities with the option to proceed or cancel for managed and unmanaged apps, and web sites so business processes can continue.
Features and benefits
Gain full visibility of all your data
Understand where your sensitive data is in your organization. Monitor and protect data in both managed apps and unmanaged cloud apps, web traffic, email, private apps, and devices.
- Discover sensitive data-at-rest in managed cloud services such as Microsoft 365 and AWS using API-enabled controls.
- Continuously scan IaaS storage services like AWS for data movement or inadvertent exposure.
- Detect and monitor data-in-motion between thousands of cloud apps and services, including instances, using inline controls.
- See and control data propagation between cloud apps and instances and in the context of cloud app risk and user risk without relying on tenant restrictions.
- Gain visibility whether users are on premises or remote, using browsers, sync clients, or mobile apps.
- Go beyond content analysis by inspecting metadata, hidden fields, and comments.
Understand data context
Discover, monitor and control how data is being used in your organization based on identity, device, behavior, browser, location, activity, and threat context. Establish data security policies that are appropriate for your enterprise without hindering productivity.
- Decodes the modern language of the cloud (i.e. APIs, JSON, Protobuf) to identify sensitive data, threats and user activities in real-time across thousands of cloud applications.
- Enables the safe use and control of unmanaged applications to maintain productivity.
- Supports advanced DLP capabilities to uncover and stop risky activity, such as:
- Public sharing of files from cloud applications
- The uploading of sensitive data to unmanaged, “shadow IT” cloud applications
- The downloading of sensitive data to personal, unmanaged devices
- The exfiltration of sensitive data from a business email to a personal email account
- Enhances advanced threat protection (ATP) to prevent cloud-enabled threats, phishing attacks on SaaS, and detect malicious activity.
Enforce policies with advanced data loss prevention (DLP)
Obtain contextual awareness of content being used in the cloud, provide real-time coaching against risky activities, and effectively protect your sensitive data no matter where it is by restricting unauthorized activity.
- Offers 40+ predefined regulatory and best practices compliance templates that are customizable
- Uses 3000+ language-independent data identifiers to inspect 1500+ file types
- Identifies and blocks user attempts to upload data to an unmanaged storage bucket or blob, whether via the cloud provider’s GUI or via copy and sync in the CLI
- Feeds API-based insights into Netskope One Platform policies for inline enforcement
- Delivers advanced protection with metadata analysis, file and binary fingerprinting, exact data matching and Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
- Uses machine learning enhanced scanning and classification for high efficiency and accuracy, enabling sensitive data to be identified and blocked from exfiltration in documents (e.g. patents, tax forms) and images (e.g. screenshots, driver licenses, passports, whiteboard images) without relying on traditional regular expressions and pattern matching, which are prone to false positives and false negatives.
- Train Your Own Classifier (TYOC) enables customers to train machine learning models on data types of their choice to go beyond the defined document and image classifiers provided.
Effective remediation for policy violations
Readily find and respond to policy violations in structured and unstructured data, webmail, social media posts, instant messages, and more. Quickly follow up to DLP violations and incidents with intuitive end-to-end workflows or third-party integrations.
- Utilize closed-loop administrative and remediation workflows to secure content instantly on demand
- Customize incident workflows: assign incidents, change progress status & override severity levels
- View both violations and excerpts of original content
- Perform investigations and analysis with comprehensive, deep activity audit trails – assign owners, track progress, and mark as resolved
- Use flexible policy response actions for Block, Quarantine, Encrypt, Alert and Coach users
- Provide Coaching to alert and warn end users about risky activity
- Access detailed metadata for a comprehensive view of alerts
- Establish customizable role-based access controls (RBAC).
Encryption to ensure data privacy
Protect sensitive data and maintain data privacy by encrypting content to ensure that you always have full control. Files are encrypted in real-time without impacting user productivity. Netskope enables you to protect your sensitive content as it leaves your organization’s perimeter and moves into cloud storage applications like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, allowing you to retain full control of it.
- Netskope provides AES-256 strong encryption with a per-file key controlled by fault-tolerant, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs
- Files can be selectively encrypted in flight or encrypted as they are stored in the cloud storage application
- Optionally, you can integrate Netskope Encryption with your on-premises, KMIP-compliant key management system to ensure that you retain control of the keys and their lifecycle.
