Netskope began shipping a CASB product in October 2013 and was one of the early CASB vendors that emphasized both cloud application discovery and SaaS security posture assessments. It includes well-developed behavior analytics and alerting within managed and unmanaged SaaS applications. Netskope for SaaS is aimed at enterprises.

Notable features

  • Netskope can be deployed either 100 per cent in the cloud, as an on-premises appliance, or via a hybrid configuration that includes both.
