Employees expect to work efficiently and flexibly wherever they are — at the office, at home, or on the road — using the most convenient way possible — whether that’s with a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
Increasingly that means people are getting their jobs done using cloud services. You may be intimidated by the idea of doing business in the cloud. But chances are, even if you don’t know it, you probably are. Today, people buy and deploy cloud services often without IT’s permission or involvement. This is called "shadow IT." It also means that sensitive company data is being uploaded, downloaded, and shared on a daily basis. And many times, the apps being used to do that work aren’t being used safely.
That’s where Cloud Security For Dummies, Netskope Special Edition, comes in. This webinar, hosted by Netskope's co-founders and chief architects, answers all your questions so you can conduct business securely in the cloud.

In short, the Netskope Active Platform does three things: 1. Enables you to discover the cloud apps in your environment and understand their risk; 2. Gives you deep visibility into user activities in those apps, like who’s sharing, what are they sharing, and who are they sharing with; and 3. Gives you granular control at the activity- and data-level. So, for example, you can set a policy that says “Don’t let non-U.S. HR professionals download PII from any HR app to a mobile device.” It’s that precise and granular.
The things that make us unique are that we provide our customers real-time, granular control over any app, not just your sanctioned ones; we give you visibility and control in context (who, what, when, where, and with whom); and we provide the broadest array of deployment options. Because we support those deployment options, it means we can support the broadest set of endpoints and use cases, now and in the future.
However, for all of the cloud goodness that drives this adoption also comes tremendous cloud app sprawl. We at Netskope perform cloud assessments for our prospects and find that while IT usually estimates that they have about 40-50 apps running in their organizations (only a handful of which they manage), we discover more than 500. Beyond the sheer volume of apps, the number of apps in business-critical categories is surprising – 61 marketing, 39 HR, and 32 finance apps. And nearly 90% of those apps aren’t enterprise-ready, according to our Cloud Confidence Index. We see the challenge as this: safely enable the apps you roll out, and discover and get control over the ones you don’t know about.
What this amounts to is the ability to provide these services on top of rich and granular context, provide them for any app, sanctioned or not, across an array of devices and access scenarios, and supporting any deployment depending on our customer’s use case.
One framework we use to think about cloud apps starts with how those apps come into your environment, and whether they’re sanctioned or not. Some are brought in by IT, some by lines-of-business, and some by individuals. Each of these app types has an important, and often business-critical, role to play in the success of your organization. Even Twitter is a must-have for many organizations and not just in marketing, but in customer support, business development, and the executive team. We at Netskope have thought through how to safely enable apps, whether sanctioned or not, and regardless of how they come into your environment.
Context is critical and you’d be surprised how deep an understanding you can get

Understand
App risk
Who is using the service and where they’re using it from
Understand the devices that are being used to access these apps
Understand the content and if it’s sensitive or not
Get to know the types of activities that people are conducting in these apps. In the case of sharing, understand who they are sharing with.
By giving you granular visibility and control with the Netskope Active Platform’s deep context, we help you take a scalpel to the problem by addressing risky behavior rather than blocking apps. This take on our customer Netflix’s series, Orange is the New Black, may seem like a silly quip, but it perfectly exemplifies the power of our platform – you can finally be in a position of “yes” rather than “no,” and be there safely.
