As more and more businesses switch to the cloud, there is a growing concern over data breaches and outages, and companies need to invest more in stabilising their security tools. Netskope is a leader in cloud security, helping the world’s largest organisations take full advantage of the cloud and web without sacrificing their resilience to attacks.

The company's patented Cloud XD technology eliminates security blind spots, with the capability to quickly target and control activities across thousands of cloud services and millions of websites. With full control from one cloud, users benefit from 360-degree data protection that guards data everywhere, with advanced threat protection that stops more elusive attacks.

In 2025, Netskope went public and generated more than $900 million in share sales. Thanks to its IPO-sparked rise in market visibility, the company has expanded its customer list as an increasing number of organisations seek to bring their security and infrastructure into the digital age. Netskope, then, has become a driving force and voice for improved cloud security.
