Netskope and Deloitte expand partnership for managed SASE services

Deloitte and Netskope expanded their strategic partnership to deliver managed Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) capabilities to enterprise customers. The companies said the expanded service was designed for organizations that need security and networking capabilities that support cloud-related modernization and secure AI adoption.

The expanded managed SASE offering combines Deloitte’s global cyber operations framework, advisory services, and managed security experience with Netskope’s SASE and Security Service Edge (SSE) capabilities. The stated goal was to support clients across hybrid, multi-cloud, and AI-ready environments.

Netskope’s SASE and SSE capabilities included Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS). The companies said Deloitte and Netskope would support implementations that include discovery workshops for SASE implementation and demonstrations of SASE technology.

Deloitte said it would leverage Netskope technology to provide the managed Secure Access Service Edge capabilities for enterprise customers. Netskope and Deloitte also said the managed SASE services were available in the EMEA region, with more regions to follow.

“Our strengthened collaboration with Netskope enables us to deliver a comprehensive Managed SASE service that meets these evolving challenges and provides clients with the confidence to innovate securely,” said Luis Silva Abreu, Partner at Deloitte. “This ongoing collaboration with Deloitte reflects the scale of our joint commitment to support global clients,” said Amit Srirastav, SVP, Strategy, Global Systems Integrators and MSSP, at Netskope. Forward-looking statements in the release included expectations for SASE market growth and demand for cloud security.
