Netskope extends data security with Dasera acquisition

Netskope today announced it has broadened its data protection capabilities by integrating data security posture management (DSPM) technology into its Netskope One Platform via its acquisition of Dasera. The integration will help the company deliver advanced security across web, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, email, endpoint, and on-premises use cases—now including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data stores and data lakes, Netskope says.

Dasera, founded in 2019, created a product focused on finding and assessing data in structured and semi-structured data sets stored in hyperscaler platforms such as AWS and Azure, platform-as-a-service repositories such as Databricks and Snowflake, and in on-premises data stores.

“An enterprise’s modern data security strategy aims to holistically know and control where their data is, what this data is, how it got there, the posture of the data store, how sensitive data is being used, who or what has access to it, and how to ensure real-time and granular data policies are enforced,” said Sanjay Beri, CEO and co-founder, Netskope, said in a statement. “Our goal has always been to enable this modern data security strategy by bringing the broadest and deepest data protection using a single, holistic platform, which we call Netskope One. In my dialogue with security leaders around the world in the past months, it is clear that they are excited for DSPM capabilities to be part of the Netskope One platform.”
