Netskope expands Microsoft partnership to boost AI data security
Netskope has announced an expansion of its collaboration with Microsoft to enhance data security for enterprise users across cloud and AI environments. The collaboration between Netskope and Microsoft now includes integration of Netskope's unified data security platform, Netskope One, with Microsoft Purview. This move aims to facilitate consistent security policies, improve response times, and streamline operations across cloud, AI, network, and endpoint environments for enterprise clients. Integrated security capabilities Through integration with Microsoft Purview, Netskope's data security platform enables enterprise customers to extend their Microsoft investments beyond traditional boundaries. The newly expanded solution supports the discovery and classification of sensitive data, including data generated by AI applications, content uploaded to unapproved cloud storage services, social media content, and form submissions. As part of these enhancements, organisations can configure Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies once and enforce them across endpoints, SaaS, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and network traffic, strengthened through Netskope One's advanced security controls. This unified approach is designed to enforce consistent security and compliance with visibility and policy enforcement across all data, whether stationary or in transit. Using both Netskope and Microsoft Purview, enterprises are able to detect, classify, and govern data in real time, strengthening their security posture in increasingly complex digital environments. Broader Microsoft ecosystem integration The Purview integration is one of several points of collaboration between Netskope and Microsoft. The two companies also work together through existing integrations with Microsoft Sentinel, Security Copilot, and Entra SSE, which enable clients to derive further value from the Microsoft Security Suite. In November 2024, Microsoft selected Netskope as its initial partner in building an open Security Service Edge ecosystem by integrating Netskope One SSE directly into Microsoft Entra Suite. This provides Microsoft customers using Entra Suite with a native SSE experience, leveraging their investments in both Microsoft and Netskope's advanced data protection capabilities. Netskope's partner status with Microsoft was further recognised in April 2025 when it was named Cybersecurity Independent Software Vendor of the Year at the Microsoft Security Excellence Awards. Industry recognition Netskope has received industry recognition for strengths in unified data security and Security Service Edge (SSE), including ranking as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SSE every year the report has been published. Netskope is also the only vendor among the highest scoring in all six category Use Cases in the 2025 Gartner Critical Capabilities report for SSE, was recognised as a Leader in the inaugural Forrester Wave for SSE, and as a Leader in the inaugural 2025 IDC MarketScape for Data Loss Prevention. Industry perspectives "We are thrilled that Microsoft has again selected Netskope as a key integration partner for important security initiatives," said John Martin, Chief Product Officer, Netskope. "Our expanding integration partnerships, including with Purview, Sentinel, Security Copilot, and Entra, enable Netskope and Microsoft to offer our customers flexibility and choice in deployment options while maintaining a commitment to delivering best-of-breed data security and SSE capabilities." Rudra Mitra, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Purview, commented on the collaboration: "As the modern data estate grows more complex, Microsoft has always been committed to offering our enterprise customers the best partnered solutions available to provide them flexibility to continuously meet their needs. We choose to partner with Netskope, a recognised industry leader, to jointly provide the best customer experience possible, helping protect data wherever it goes." Microsoft Purview integration entered Public Preview in May 2025, enabling enterprises to begin adopting the combined solution. Siva VRS, Vice President & Global Business Unit Head of Cyber Security at Wipro, observed: "Large enterprises are strengthening their security strategies by integrating insights from diverse tools. Netskope's seamless integration with Microsoft Purview tackles these evolving challenges head-on, enhancing data protection and ensuring classified information remains secure." Availability Netskope's integration with Microsoft Purview is now available in Public Preview to all Microsoft enterprise customers wanting to enhance their security posture. In addition to Purview integration, other Netskope solutions with Microsoft—including the Netskope One SSE Platform and Netskope One Advanced SSE for Entra—are also offered via the Azure Marketplace.

New Absolute Security Research Shows Top Endpoint Security Controls Fail 22% of the Time
Critical Patching for PCs Running Windows 10 and 11 is Delayed Nearly Two Months 35% of PCs Lack Encryption, 26% are Unaccounted for, and 18% Store Sensitive Data AI Use is Exploding, with Enterprise PCs Logging Thousands of Visits to DeepSeek SEATTLE, June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New research from Absolute Security shows that organizations allow their critical endpoint security controls to drop out of compliance with internal security and performance policies 22% of the time. This dangerous failure rate undermines their ability to defend their businesses against ransomware strikes, compromises, and complexity-driven disruptions. Based on anonymized telemetry from more than 15 million enterprise PCs, the Absolute Security Resilience Risk Index 2025 details how this finding and other silent risks are eroding enterprise security and threatening business continuity. Security Tools Aren't Holding the Line Leading Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP), Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions, and Vulnerability and Patch Management platforms fail to maintain compliance with internal security and performance policies 22% of the time. This increases the risk of ransomware infections, data breaches, and disruptive incidents across PCs where these tools are deployed. High Performing Solutions are Increasing Concentrated Risk This year, the data revealed a new issue the industry must face — Concentrated Risk. It emerges when organizations fail to recognize that even solutions with high compliance and performance rates can present significant risk when they are deployed across a substantial percentage of PCs. High performers may fail less often — but when these widely-used technologies mafunction, the impact can be catastrophic. This is why every control, regardless of performance rate, must be supported by resilience capabilities that can help organizations to withstand and recover from failure on a large scale. Patching Delays Ignore Industry Best Practices Organizations across all industries take nearly two months to patch vulnerabilities in PCs running Windows. Most organizations determine their own vulnerability scanning and patching schedules. However, this average defies guidance from leading authorities such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which recommends that patches should not be delayed more than 30 days to avoid vulnerability-driven risks. AI Use is Exploding, Frequently in Defiance of Usage Policies Available data showed that enterprise PCs are logging millions of visits to popular generative AI platforms. Thousands of these visits are landing on DeepSeek, despite organizational and multi-government sanctions against this China-based site. The inability to control usage along with explosive growth is leaving organizations open to not only compliance violations but also the potential to download malicious content and to expose sensitive information to hostile adversaries. Devices Are Missing Encryption, Unaccounted for, and Filled with Sensitive Data 35% of enterprise PCs are not encrypted, 26% are unaccounted for, and 18% store sensitive data. This dangerous combination creates blind spots that leave data and PCs without protection against cybercriminals. These lapses can also give unauthorized users access to corporate networks for prolonged periods, opening an opportunity for threats to expand laterally across systems and assets. "This research shows that organizations are failing to maintain effective operational performance for leading endpoint security controls, unaware of risky behaviors taking place, and may not be able to keep as up to date on patching as they should. These are all factors that will eventually lead to a major security breach or extended and costly period of downtime," said Christy Wyatt, CEO, Absolute Security. "To remain truly protected in today's digital business environment, leaders need to think beyond legacy prevention and detection practices. They must enforce resilience as a core capability to ensure the visibility, control, and agility needed to keep their organizations secure, responsive, and always operational."
