About Netskope

  • Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security.

About the role

  • The Netskope Cloud Firewall delivers Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) for egress traffic from a SASE architecture. Users and offices connect to NewEdge, the largest private security cloud in the world for firewall protection.
