Netskope One AgentSkope helps deploy Netskope AI agents

Netskope introduced Netskope One AgentSkope as an architectural foundation inside the Netskope One Platform for deploying Netskope AI agents that execute end-to-end workflows. The company framed the release as a way to reduce operational burden for security and networking teams.

The company said security operations and network operations centers face alert capacity constraints, with 40% of alerts going uninvestigated due to lack of capacity. AgentSkope was described as a foundation for automating operational processes, providing a consistent experience, and tracking and monitoring agent utilization.

Functionally, AgentSkope supports agentic operations intended to cover workflows that include policy creation, triage, investigation, and troubleshooting. The release also described the use of natural language processing for simplifying risk queries and for enabling conversational interaction with app risk data.

The initial release included six agents: Netskope DLP AISecOps Agent, Netskope Insider Threat AISecOps Agent (in private preview), Netskope Private Access AIOps Agent, Netskope DEM Data Intelligence Agent, Netskope DEM Insights Agent, and Netskope CCI Insights Agent. The DLP AISecOps Agent was described as mimicking security operations analyst actions to execute end-to-end data protection workflows, while the Private Access agent was described as auditing configurations for Netskope One Private Access.

“Security and network operations teams today are overwhelmed by an endless loop of manual triage, and bogged down by repetitive tasks across disparate tools, leading to severe analyst burnout, an inability to innovate at speed, and unchecked risk. That’s why we built AgentSkope to act as an autonomous force multiplier, providing a shared architectural foundation that allows organizations to easily deploy AI agents capable of executing end-to-end workflows. By abstracting away operational complexity and removing internal development bottlenecks, we are empowering security and network leaders to drastically reduce manual troubleshooting, free up their skilled staff for strategic initiatives, and adapt their defenses at the speed of business.” said Sanjay Beri, Co-Founder and CEO of Netskope. “It won't surprise anyone to hear that as the fifth-largest accountancy and business advisory firm in the world, BDO is data-rich. Our security and access infrastructures are complex, and staffed by busy and experienced teams. In the UK, we already rely on Netskope to secure our data, but we know the scale of the challenge is only going to grow as we encourage AI adoption—so too is the increased data movement that brings. Agentic operations that support our security and networking operations teams in handling their growing workflows will be very important for us moving forward.” said Stuart Walters, Partner and Chief Information Officer, BDO UK. “Security and network operations teams shoulder an incredible burden as the embrace of AI exacerbates their never-ending list of tasks. For decades, the answer to new security concerns has been consistent - additional tools, additional features, and additional complexity, which has increased operational noise and continues to highlight personnel resource limitations. In the face of a rapidly expanding, AI fueled threat landscape, CIOs and CISOs must invest in agentic security automation, as a force multiplier to enhance skilled human resources. The ability to intelligently triage threats, help manage the increasing scope and scale of modern threats, and keep up with new AI models/agents, can no longer remain a manual process.” said Pete Finalle, Research Manager, Security & Trust at IDC.

AgentSkope and the DLP AISecOps, CCI Insights, Private Access AIOps, DEM Data Intelligence, and DEM Insights agents were described as generally available, with the Insider Threat AISecOps Agent in private preview.
