Netskope, a leader in modern security and networking for the cloud and AI era, announced the general availability of enterprise security and AI integrations with Microsoft. The seamless integration of Netskope One capabilities with Microsoft tools delivers flexibility for modern AI and cloud environments, protecting Microsoft customers that seek to maximise their security posture.
As part of a longstanding collaboration, Netskope and Microsoft empower enterprise customers to extend the value of their Microsoft investments. Ongoing integrations now include general availability of the following:
Netskope One Purview Integration
The Netskope One and Microsoft Purview integration provides comprehensive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) coverage and enforcement by augmenting Netskope’s powerful visibility and enforcement at the network layer with data classification and policies from Microsoft Purview, providing customers running multi-vendor data protection stacks with a consolidated data protection platform. The integration expands Microsoft discovery and classification of sensitive data to tens of thousands of applications, including AI apps and unsanctioned cloud storage. The integration unifies data security and governance by seamlessly interleaving Netskope and Microsoft Purview DLP policies across endpoints, SaaS, IaaS, and network traffic, combining the best of two leading solutions. This helps ensure increased consistency and policy enforcement across heterogeneous environments, for a further enriched security and compliance stack with enterprise-wide visibility, real-time detection, governance, and threat mitigation for all data.
Netskope One Advanced SSE for Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access (GSA)
In November 2024, Microsoft announced the choice of Netskope as its first partner in building an open Security Service Edge (SSE) ecosystem by introducing the integration of Netskope One SSE directly into the in-product experience of Microsoft Entra GSA. Now generally available, the integration unifies security posture with Microsoft’s identity and access management, bringing Netskope’s market-leading cloud Data Loss Prevention and Advanced Threat Protection capabilities directly to Entra GSA. Netskope is the only SASE vendor to offer full integration with Entra GSA across DLP, Threat Protection, and SD-WAN, helping customers ensure that sensitive data remains protected and networks are shielded from evolving threats, regardless of user location or level of application access.
Netskope CASB API for Microsoft 365 Copilot
Enterprises must stay protected while maximising the power of enterprise-critical AI productivity such as Microsoft 365 Copilot. Netskope CASB API for Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available, delivering advanced security and compliance controls for Microsoft 365 Copilot interactions. Through this innovative integration, administrators can connect their managed Microsoft 365 Copilot instance to Netskope’s CASB API to gain greater visibility and apply data-at-rest policies, helping businesses foster responsible AI adoption and ensure that sensitive information is not inadvertently shared, misused, or exposed through AI interactions. Netskope enables enterprises to enforce security via DLP and threat protection policies, receive near-real-time alerts, and monitor user activity— helping ensure safe and seamless Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout and adoption.
“By integrating Netskope’s leading SASE and SSE capabilities with Microsoft’s robust cloud ecosystem, organisations are empowered to embrace cloud and AI with confidence and security,” said John Martin, Chief Product Officer, Netskope. “Our latest advancements with Microsoft, now generally available to all customers, underscore Netskope’s commitment to meet the rapidly evolving needs of modern enterprises.”
“Security is truly a team sport, and these integrated solutions with Netskope proves that collaboration is key to tackling today’s most complex cyber challenges,” said Joy Chik, President, Identity and Network Access, Microsoft. “By bringing together the power of Microsoft’s identity and network access solution, Microsoft Entra, with Netskope’s Security Service Edge (SSE) capabilities, we’re solving critical customer security issues through a single, unified solution. This allows organisations to move faster toward a comprehensive Zero Trust architecture, protecting users, data, and applications everywhere without compromising performance or user experience. It’s about providing our customers with the flexibility and the best-of-breed protection they need to thrive in a hybrid world.”
All generally available Netskope solutions with Microsoft are available via on the Microsoft Marketplace, the new Microsoft Security Store and via Netskope Partners Worldwide.
