Netskope details updates to integrate with Microsoft Purview Copilot and Entra Suite

Netskope has introduced updates to its product suite that integrate with Microsoft’s security tools, enhancing data protection and threat prevention for enterprises leveraging Microsoft technologies such as Purview, Copilot, and Entra Suite. These developments offer IT and security professionals expanded capabilities for unified security across cloud environments.

Integration with Microsoft Purview for Extended Data Loss Prevention

Netskope’s Purview integration has reached General Availability (GA), enabling comprehensive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) that spans endpoints, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and network traffic. This integration applies Microsoft Purview DLP policies consistently, ensuring data security and regulatory compliance across multiple cloud services and traffic types.

By routing all traffic through Netskope to Purview, organizations gain increased visibility and consistent data classification through shared classifiers. The integration also delivers insights usable by Microsoft security tools like Entra conditional access and Sentinel, supporting compliance investigations and evidence collection.

Netskope One Advanced SSE for Microsoft Entra GSA

The launch of Netskope One Advanced Security Services Edge (SSE) for Entra Global Secure Access (GSA) has made the add-on generally available. This offering integrates Netskope’s DLP and threat protection with Entra’s identity and access management suite, supporting security across user access, applications, and data.

Netskope is the only Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) vendor fully integrated with Entra GSA across DLP, threat protection, and Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). This integration improves unified security management for enterprises using the Entra Suite for access control.

CASB API Support for Microsoft 365 Copilot

Netskope has introduced Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) Application Programming Interface (API) capabilities for Microsoft 365 Copilot, increasing visibility into AI-driven interactions within enterprise environments. This enables administrators to monitor user activities and enforce DLP and threat protection policies on Copilot usage.

The integration distinguishes between user inputs and Artificial Intelligence (AI) responses, applies DLP policies to historical data, and targets data-at-rest in Copilot-related OneDrive folders. These features aim to maintain compliance and data integrity when using AI tools in Microsoft 365.

Expanded Security Coverage for Non-Microsoft 365 Traffic

Within the Netskope-One and Microsoft Entra integration, Netskope offers DLP, User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), and advanced threat protection for traffic outside the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. This provides additional monitoring and risk mitigation for diverse cloud environments.

Deployment and Trial Options

Interested organizations can initiate trials of Netskope integrations through the Microsoft commercial Marketplace or via dedicated netskope landing pages for Purview and Entra integrations. These options provide access to the updated security features within an enterprise’s existing Microsoft infrastructure.
