Netskope Unveils Cloud Exchange as a Managed Service to Enhance IT and Security Operations with Automated Cloud Intelligence

Netskope, a leader in secure access service edge (SASE), today announced that its innovative Cloud Exchange security and telemetry sharing solution is now available as a managed service, offering organizations more ways to provision, deploy, and manage the platform. With this release, companies can leverage seamless access to Netskope telemetry, external threat intelligence, and risk score sharing across existing security investments to stop cloud threats sooner.

The company also announced a significant expansion of the solution’s Cloud Risk Exchange (CRE) module with the ability to share application risk scores and insights with key technology partners BitSight, SecurityScorecard, and ServiceNow—helping organizations obtain better visibility of the risks associated with their ecosystem of managed and unmanaged applications.

Improving the overall effectiveness and security posture of infrastructure in the cloud is critical for every organization. According to Foundry’s Cloud Computing Study 2022, nearly 70% of organizations have accelerated their cloud migration over the past year, and the proportion of organizations having most or all of their IT infrastructure in the cloud is expected to increase from 41% today to 63% in the next 18 months.

The byproduct of that migration is a growing attack surface in the cloud that needs efficient risk mitigation supported by skilled personnel, a challenge many organizations continue to grapple with amid a global cyber talent shortage. With Netskope’s new Cloud Exchange as a managed service offering, organizations can immediately leverage Cloud Exchange without having to dedicate staff to provision, deploy, and manage the platform. Security teams can then put intelligence and risk scoring into better context and experience faster time to incident resolution.
