Netskope has announced significant upgrades to its Universal Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA) platform, enhancing its AI-powered security measures to provide comprehensive protection for users, devices, and applications within hybrid enterprise environments. This enhancement reinforces Netskope’s One Private Access and Device Intelligence solutions, creating a more cohesive strategy to secure both human users and the increasing variety of connected devices, including IoT and operational technology systems.
As enterprises navigate distributed infrastructures and adopt AI-driven workflows, these improvements allow Netskope to deliver efficient, secure access to applications from any point. Unlike conventional ZTNA solutions that primarily focus on remote users, UZTNA is built to secure every access point—whether in office spaces, branch locations, or the cloud. The integration of real-time threat inspection, contextual device awareness, and AI-driven policy automation offers a security layer that supersedes outdated technologies such as VPNs and Network Access Controls (NACs).
Industry analysts, including Gartner, highlight a notable trend in the adoption of Universal ZTNA, which is expected to grow by over 40% by 2027. Netskope has established itself as a leader in this evolving market, recognized for its performance in Private Application Access, as noted in Gartner’s latest security reports.
A key feature of the new UZTNA is its built-in, context-aware device intelligence, which secures IoT and operational technology devices that typically cannot accommodate standard security agents. By collaborating with the 5G Netskope One Gateway, the platform can automatically classify these devices and enforce zero trust policies effectively.
The updated platform also features embedded protection for private application traffic, ensuring encrypted data flows are monitored for any signs of malware or policy violations. Administrators benefit from a unified policy framework that simplifies management and ensures consistent application of security measures across various users and devices.
Additionally, the AI-powered Copilot assistant aids in policy optimization, allowing for the dynamic creation and refinement of rules based on user behavior and associated risks. This innovation enables IT teams to enhance their zero trust strategies while minimizing the potential for misconfigurations.
Netskope’s new UZTNA capabilities extend secure access into distributed corporate environments, overcoming challenges posed by legacy security technologies that fail to meet the operational demands of modern enterprises. The Chief Product Officer of Netskope, John Martin, stated that the UZTNA redefines secure access by harmonizing users and devices within an intelligent framework, thus transforming security from a hindrance to a facilitator of business operations.
As companies grapple with the complexities of security prompted by hybrid work models and increasing regulatory demands, Netskope’s UZTNA framework promises a scalable and adaptable solution, merging multiple security functionalities into a singular, AI-enhanced platform that evolves alongside emerging threats. The solution is now widely accessible to customers worldwide.
