Netskope Recognized as a 2014 Emerging Vendor by CRN

LOS ALTOS, Calif., July 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Netskope, the leader in cloud app analytics and policy enforcement, today announced it has been recognized as one of 2014's hottest emerging technology vendors by CRN, the top news source for solution providers and the IT channel. The annual Emerging Vendors list identifies up-and-coming technology vendors that have introduced innovative new products, are creating opportunities for channel partners in North America to create high-margin, and provide cutting-edge solutions for their customers. Netskope was specifically recognized for its unique approach to cloud app security enables its channel partners to effectively navigate the evolving security landscape without stunting customer workforces.

Netskope's Active Platform is the industry's only platform that provides context-aware cloud data loss prevention (DLP), encryption, and anomaly detection in real-time for any cloud app. Netskope's unmatched insights help enterprises uncover sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud app usage and enforce policies that protect sensitive information and prevent data loss. Furthermore, the platform also improves compliance with data governance across industries while enabling employees to get their jobs done efficiently.

"Solution providers are always on the hunt for the next big technology trend so that they can bring new solutions to their customers before they even know they need them. These vendors are on the forefront of IT innovation and are offering products and services that channel partners can use to stay ahead of the competition," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company, publisher of CRN. "We congratulate 2014's Emerging Vendors for creating the next wave of technology that will drive the IT industry forward and for opening the door to new, unique solutions from the IT channel."

"As cloud app usage continues to increase, so does an enterprises security risk and compliance exposure. This makes it increasingly important – and difficult – for IT to be able to see the apps in use and the context of the usage," said Sanjay Beri, CEO of Netskope.  "Netskope effectively enables IT to rip off the blindfold and put granular policies in place for any of the apps in use."
