Microsoft Teams—part of the Microsoft 365 suite of applications—helps to increase collaboration in businesses of all sizes, combining workplace chats, online meetings, calls, files, and tools & other apps. As remote working skyrockets, the need for a secure and scalable collaborative environment is essential. Beyond providing security for any location or device type, enterprises need to consider data movement between both managed and unmanaged instances of applications, a challenge discussed in the Netskope Cloud and Threat Report. With Netskope, Teams customers benefit from a unique convergence of security capabilities that simplify the work of security teams. Through one interface and zero on-premises appliances, the Netskope Security Cloud prevents data loss and protects against threats inline through its next-gen secure web gateway (NG SWG), and covers data-at-rest through its cloud access security broker (CASB). The Netskope Security Cloud is delivered on Netskope NewEdge, the world’s largest carrier-grade private-cloud network that offers unsurpassed performance at hyper-scale.
“With 44 million daily active users, Microsoft Teams has seen tremendous growth. For CISOs, this fast adoption reinforces the need to provide inline data protection and compliance to this application, enabling enterprise-wide collaboration that is safe to the business without impairing productivity,” said Bruno Raimondo, Head of SaaS Product Management at Netskope. “To address this ‘collaboration from anywhere’ need, Netskope provides near real-time API-enabled protection, such as DLP and threat protection, to protect our customers’ data as it relates to the cloud, regardless of where users are located.”
