Netskope enables users to securely access private applications remotely without a VPN. You can install the NetApp client on your machine, and it will take your traffic to the data center. From the data center, it will be directed to the original location, which is your internal organization server.

The base features have been fantastic. The ability to be able to granularly assign application access to end-users has been really good.

We can apply the policy to the private app and then use it to control access.

When you are implementing a private access solution, regardless of the specific provider (e.g., Zscaler, Palo Alto, Netskope), the main focus on application-based access control and security. The primary objective is to establish security policies that enable secure access to applications based on user requests, regardless of the application's location or the underlying technology used. This approach ensures that communication with applications is facilitated securely, regardless of the technical details or geographic location.

There are five standout features in Netskope Private Access. First, it has a planned-out architecture, which means there is no inbound connectivity. All user checks, compliance, and security checks are done at the cloud level. There is no inbound connectivity to the network.  There is only outbound connectivity.

Second, when a user is provided with Netskope Private Access, they can only access the specific private access granted to them. They don't have the ability to move laterally, which eliminates the risk of unauthorized access. 

Third, unlike traditional VPNs that require high maintenance, Netskope Private Access only requires a simple VM that doesn't need much maintenance. There are no additional maintenance charges for that. 

Also, unlike other solutions that place VPN concentrators in the environment, Netskope is more cost-effective. The fourth is for the pricing standards of this solution. The support is aligned with standard pricing, whereas VPNs tend to increase pricing due to maintenance charges.

Lastly, when using a VPN, users are limited to a specific bandwidth. For example, if there is a total bandwidth of 50 Mbps, the VPN will divide that bandwidth among the users. In contrast, with Netskope Private Access, each user has their own internet visibility and can access their private apps without bandwidth limitations. This eliminates latency concerns when multiple users require higher bandwidth.

We can block and alert the ports and allow the public traffic software in our environment. Thus, we can separately provide the port numbers and that is a valuable feature.

The most valuable feature is being able to see who is accessing the application, whether it is a managed device or a bring-your-own-device published by Netskope.

With private access or next-gen VPN, they are able to keep you secure, but they are invisible in terms of how they do it. Anybody working from home and trying to bring up VPN quickly can pretty much get VPN up and running in a matter of minutes because this doesn't require any VPN technology on-prem. All the VPN technologies that you're using to access applications on-premise can be eliminated by using their software. If you're accessing Microsoft 365 or salesforce.com, you can go straight out from your home office or home internet to that application rather than having to come through a VPN. It still has all the policies enforced, and it mitigates any business risks in terms of how that user is accessing that application and what they're doing inside of it. VPN piece is really critical, especially at this time of Covid, and your latency also goes down.

Your latency gets better by using the platform because they're intercepting your traffic, routing it through their local data center, and then sending it to whichever SaaS service or whatever you're going to. It does it better, faster, and quicker with all your governance policies enforced, rather than you having to go through your data center. So, all the traffic gets hauls there, and then that traffic has got to route somewhere else, and then it has got to go up to the cloud. Your latency actually goes down. They can guarantee 15 milliseconds or less pretty much across anywhere on the planet for about 95% or 90% of it.
