Netskope, SailPoint continue to innovate, bring extensible value to joint customers

Netskope, the leading security cloud company, provides a certified integration with SailPoint Technologies, the leader in enterprise identity governance, to advance the precision and automation of end-to-end security and compliance. This integration enables joint customers to:

• Automate access governance tasks and workflows in response to Netskope alerts on suspicious user behaviours; and
• Enforce access policies in Netskope in response to identity-specific access risks monitored by SailPoint.

“As a strategic partner to both Netskope and SailPoint in the local South African market, we are delighted by the integration synergies and value that has been developed for our joint customers, between two of our most important software vendors,” says Muhammed Mayet, CEO of Puleng. “Now, our customers will be able to automate their governance policies with more identity-aware access control operations, improving security and easing compliance.”

“Identity governance is at the heart of digital transformation because it allows organisations to manage the link between their employees, applications and data amid this change,” said Grant Reynolds, Regional Sales Director, Africa for Netskope. “That said, visibility alone is only a piece of this process. We’re excited to partner with SailPoint to not only expand and deepen our understanding of our customer’s user and application ecosystem, but to facilitate security enforcement.”

Netskope is the fastest-growing company at scale in the fastest-growing areas of cyber security – secure access service edge (SASE) and cloud security.

The Netskope Security Cloud provides unrivalled visibility and real-time data and threat protection when accessing cloud services, Web sites and private apps from anywhere, on any device.

The combination of Netskope and SailPoint enables our joint customers to ensure the right identities are accessing the right applications and data. Once deployed, identity, network and security teams have the information they need to identify suspicious user, data and application activities in real-time, regardless of location or service.

Joint benefits include:

Proactively respond to non-compliant activity and risky users;

Initiate targeted compliance audits and governance workflows in response to cloud access policy violations;

Proactively ‘quarantine’ users displaying risky behaviour patterns through automated provisioning;

Secure managed and unmanaged cloud services such as Office 365, Box, and AWS; and

Detect risky, unmanaged enterprise applications for governance prioritisation.

“The enterprise application ecosystem is evolving and expanding at an exponential rate, and as a result, organisations today struggle to calculate the risk of their digital operations,” said Joe Gottlieb, SVP, Strategy & Business Development at SailPoint. “Through our partnership and integration with Netskope, we can collectively help our joint customers make more intelligent and actionable access decisions. We’re enabling these users to modernise their businesses without trepidation and with unmatched visibility, security and compliance in mind.”
