Netskope named leader in Gartner SSE Magic Quadrant for 4th year

Netskope has been named a Leader for the fourth consecutive year in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge (SSE).

The annual Gartner report, which assesses technology providers in the SSE space, recognised Netskope as furthest in Completeness of Vision and with a high Ability to Execute.

According to Netskope, the company has maintained its Leader position every year since the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SSE was first published. In the forthcoming Gartner Critical Capabilities report, Netskope will also be the only vendor ranked among the two highest scoring vendors across all six category Use Cases.

The company attributes its recognition to the Netskope One platform, which brings together security, networking, and analytics under one solution framework. Netskope One integrates technologies such as Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), unified data security features, Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), and Digital Experience Management (DEM).

Netskope One leverages the company's NewEdge Network, which is intended to deliver high performance and security for enterprise data, application, and website access, with the goal of avoiding compromises between security and network performance.

The company aligns its offerings to current Gartner strategic planning assumptions for SSE and broader trends in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) adoption, with a focus on AI, unified data protection, and SD-WAN capabilities.

Netskope Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Beri commented on the repeated recognition: "Architecture is always critical, and with Netskope One, our customers don't need to accept trade-offs between advanced security capabilities and network performance. We are very proud of our continued recognition by Gartner in Security Service Edge and related market categories. We believe our recognition as an SSE Leader every year since the report's inception validates both our long-term product vision and ongoing market execution. Our customers seek modern, converged security and networking fit for the era of cloud and AI, and our continued growth, along with this important external validation, demonstrates that we are well-positioned to serve them."

Recent product and partnership announcements from Netskope include an expansion of its unified data security with DLP On Demand, which allows for additional integration opportunities and enhanced on-premises support. The Netskope Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) feature, part of the unified data security offering, benefits from the same data loss prevention capabilities.

The company has launched an Enterprise Browser solution, integrated within the SSE platform, to improve productivity and secure connections for unmanaged devices and temporary workers engaging with web resources and applications.

Continued investment in the underlying NewEdge infrastructure is a stated priority, with the company aiming to build resilience against disruptions such as natural disasters and connectivity issues.

Netskope is also advancing its Digital Experience Management (DEM) solution by employing artificial intelligence and proprietary machine learning models to enhance network automation and deliver in-depth analytics designed to optimise user and network performance.

The company continues to develop its relationship with global cloud providers including Amazon Web Services, Google, and Microsoft, as well as engaging with managed service providers and systems integrators across regions.

With a customer base of more than 4,000 organisations, Netskope serves a global market that includes many enterprises with demanding technical requirements. Feedback posted to Gartner Peer Insights as of May 2025 reflects positive user experiences with the Netskope One platform.

One review states: "Netskope SSE provides robust protection across cloud applications, web and private access making it a strong unified platform for modern enterprises. The ability to enforce granular policies at the user, app, and data level is a standout feature, ensuring data security even in complex environments."

Another user described their experience: "Netskope SSE is a composition of excellent tools, easy to understand, easy to use, but at the same time they are very powerful and give control and visibility over the entire company. Having SWG, CASB and ZTNA in one place with a friendly and powerful tool is a luxury."

A separate review commented on adaptability and integration: "Netskope SSE is a series of powerful and friendly tools that allow rapid adaptation and understanding to make the best possible use of them, allowing us to monitor, control and alert what users do. I like how simple and easy to understand the tool is. You don't need months to understand what you are doing. Furthermore, the documentation is very complete and always contains step by step instructions on what you must do for each of its modules. Each module is independent but at the same time they are integrated with each other."

Another customer highlighted AI integration and security features: "Our most liked part of this product is that you can configure to route all the traffic through the Netskope cloud to filter (HTTP/HTTPS) for deep analysis, this feature of Netskope is quite useful to protect your organisation from any attack and you can add exceptions to bypass the traffic of trustworthy apps. You can configure the device classification to make the dependency of Netskope on other apps like antivirus. Their support team is very helpful and easily available to help you out wherever you are stuck."
