Every data centre is accessible to every customer without additional fees or surcharges , with all Netskope Security Cloud services available , including cloud firewall , secure web gateway , cloud access security broker , Zero Trust network access and more . The milestone was achieved following another year of rapidly building and scaling-out NewEdge across the Americas , Europe , the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific regions to provide the lowest latency and highestperforming infrastructure backed by unmatched , industry-leading Service Level Agreements .

Netskope will continue its aggressive expansion and commitment to worldclass connectivity with additional data centres in Brazil , Taiwan and Saudi Arabia expected to come online in early 2022 .

The expansion supports Netskope ’ s mission to deliver on security without the performance trade-offs .

Placing data-centric security as close to the user as possible – with fast on-ramps , efficient traffic processing and optimised access to the applications and content that matter most to enterprises – is a key requirement of a SASE-ready architecture and delivering truly world-class Security Service Edge ( SSE ) capabilities . Netskope ’ s ever-expanding global coverage also addresses customers ’ unique business requirements and compliance objectives , such as having a data centre in-region for content localisation reasons or to ensure customer ’ s traffic stays within intentbased zones – for example , to address General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ) requirements in the European Union .

“ While some vendors claim large numbers of data centres , many of the dots on the map they call data centres are just front doors to their network or locations they can emulate from far-away data centres . Either way , users suffer by incurring a ' latency tax ' caused by backhauled traffic .

Other vendors inflate their numbers by counting data centres that are off-limits or not accessible to every customer , or by counting one physical street address as multiple data centres for marketing purposes ,” said Jason Hofmann , VP of Platform Architecture and Services at Netskope . “ With NewEdge , every one of our data centres is the real thing with full compute and all SSE services available . By strategically placing security traffic processing at the edge – now offered in more than 50 regions globally – NewEdge offers equal or better coverage than any other vendor and delivers proven , SLAbacked leadership in performance that is critical to delivering on the SASE vision ."

Netskope integrates with leading networking and SD-WAN vendors so customers can accelerate their security and network transformations through a best-of-breed and tightly-integrated SASE solution . Plus for breakthrough performance , NewEdge includes direct peering with the most commonly used web , cloud and SaaS providers to maintain the highly connected nature of the Netskope infrastructure . ◊
