Netskope enhances cybersecurity measures addressing quantum challenges and data security - June 2025
Recent developments at Netskope underline its strategic focus on addressing emerging cybersecurity challenges. Notable initiatives include addressing quantum computing's implications for encryption, enhancing data security amid the rise of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), and protecting Operational technology (OT) environments.
Netskope is actively adjusting its encryption protocols in response to challenges posed by quantum computing. The company is working on implementing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommended ML-KEM 768 algorithm to enhance security against potential quantum threats. Additionally, it has initiated the development of a quantum-resilient version of its Netskope One product.
In efforts to secure data across various environments, Netskope promotes a unified data security strategy that integrates Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technologies. This approach emphasizes automated discovery and protection of sensitive data accessed via unmanaged devices.
Moreover, Netskope continues to innovate in the area of cybersecurity patents, nearing 300 patents focused on areas like Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) forensics, which aim to improve visibility and understanding of cloud applications within security contexts. The company collaborates closely between its cybersecurity and Research and Development (R&D) teams through initiatives such as Customer Zero, ensuring that developments align with user needs.
As organizations seek to modernize their cybersecurity approaches, Netskope emphasizes replacing legacy VPNs and Network Access Control (NAC) systems with Zero Trust Network Access (Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA)). By focusing on secure, performance-driven access for OT and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) (IIOT) environments, Netskope aims to provide scalable solutions relevant for today’s cloud-first operations.
