Combating Shadow IT with the Netskope Risk Exchange Ecosystem

0
124

Netskope offers a unique capability to deeply inspect network packets (post-decryption) and understand the interactions between users and the SaaS applications they use. This enables the application of granular policy controls to regulate specific actions, such as downloading, uploading, editing, posting, or creating content within any application. However, it’s essential to avoid imposing such restrictions on critical business applications like corporate email or OneDrive that employees rely on for their daily tasks.

Understanding Managed and Unmanaged Applications

While analyzing SaaS application traffic, Netskope identifies the unique instance ID of each application. This allows it to distinguish between personal and corporate accounts, even if they share the same URL. Netskope labels applications managed by your IT department as “Managed,” ensuring corporate accounts are securely monitored and controlled.

Why the Managed vs. Unmanaged Distinction Matters

In today’s cloud-first environment, employees use numerous applications to boost productivity. While this can improve efficiency, it also creates significant security challenges. Sensitive data becomes scattered across multiple apps, making it harder for IT teams to enforce security policies.

Benefits of Netskope’s Managed vs. Unmanaged App Controls

Enhanced Security: Minimize data breaches and malware risks by controlling access to unmanaged apps.

Improved Compliance: Achieve regulatory compliance and avoid penalties.

Increased Productivity: Provide employees with a secure framework for app usage, enabling efficient work.

Cost Savings: Optimize SaaS spending by identifying and removing redundant or unnecessary unmanaged apps.

What’s New with Cloud Exchange 5.1 and CREv2?

The latest updates in Cloud Exchange 5.1 and CREv2 enhance Netskope’s capabilities by leveraging partner data to label managed SaaS applications. For example:

Applications configured with SSO through Okta.

Applications with federated trust relationships established via Microsoft Entra ID.

These integrations enable organizations to automatically identify and label sanctioned applications, further streamlining the management of SaaS environments.

Netskope continues to redefine cloud security, offering robust solutions to address the challenges of managed and unmanaged app usage in today’s dynamic business landscape.
