Managed network services provider MetTel agreed to deliver a suite of managed, AI-driven SASE network security solutions to government and commercial enterprises over the Netskope One platform. Netskope is a SASE provider that converges critical security, network and analytics products into its Netskope One unified platform.
Netskope One’s purpose-built architecture applies zero trust principles and AI to optimize access, protect data, prevent threats and enable secure, work-from-anywhere connectivity.
Among its capabilities are a fully integrated SD-WAN, cloud access security broker (CASB), secure web gateway (SWG), zero trust network access (ZTNA), remote browser isolation (RBI) and unified data security, including data security posture management (DSPM), firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), and digital experience management (DEM).
Netskope One also leverages AI-powered operations to monitor networks at all levels, including users, branches and clouds, detecting anomalies, proactively troubleshooting and automatically addressing poor network conditions to deliver higher network performance.
“The rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape demands a security architecture that is omniscient and protective not only at the core but all the way to the edge, whether a data center, remote office, road warrior or home/hybrid worker,” said MetTel CTO, Ed Fox. “This agreement with Netskope gives MetTel another full SASE stack within a stable of market-leading technologies and partners to expertly deliver a comprehensive network security solution and managed WAN service to our enterprise and government customers as their networks quickly morph to support the AI tidal wave as well as the threats posed by AI.”
“Netskope One brings a modern, converged approach to security and networking that improves how teams work, protects data wherever it moves, and keeps performance and connectivity secure and optimized,” said Parag Thakore, CPO, SASE, Netskope. “We are very pleased to partner with MetTel to offer industry leading SASE capabilities to joint customers to accelerate digital transformation and safely enable cloud- and AI-first environments.”
