Netskope introduces Netskope One Data Lineage

Netskope introduced Netskope One Data Lineage to provide visibility and analytics for tracking the provenance and lifecycle of data at rest, in motion, and in use, supporting compliance, investigation, and policy implementation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption requires safe governance and verifiable audit trails regardless of where data originates, how it moves, or how it is used. Legacy Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools struggle to correlate data activity across sources, users, and interactions, limiting teams' ability to obtain the visibility needed to protect that data.

Netskope One Data Lineage built upon Netskope’s data security controls by enabling teams to track and visualize the movement of sensitive data across origin, movement, usage, and access, including when that data propagated or evolved, and by keeping policy controls attached as data was extracted and reformatted across different document files and formats.

Data Lineage was made available in Preview to Netskope customers, and Netskope planned demonstrations of the full Netskope One platform, including Data Lineage and Model Context Protocol (MCP) security features, at the Runtime Security Agent (RSA) Conference in San Francisco, March 23-26, 2026, with a presence at booth #1127, Moscone South.

“Successfully implementing AI requires trust in the data that fuels it.” said Jennifer Glenn, Research Director for IDC Security and Trust Group. “As part of our industry-leading platform, Netskope One Data Lineage ensures that unified data security supports, rather than hinders, an organization’s ability to grow and innovate.” said Krishna Narayanaswamy, Co-founder and CTO, Netskope.

General Availability (GA) was anticipated in the first half of 2026.
