Netskope named Leader in Gartner SASE Magic Quadrant again
Netskope has been named as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms for the second consecutive year.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms recognises vendors that demonstrate a comprehensive vision and strong ability to execute in the secure access service edge sector.
Netskope's position as a Leader follows its earlier recognition this year in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge (SSE).
According to the results, Netskope is currently the only vendor positioned as furthest in Completeness of Vision in both the SASE and SSE Platforms Magic Quadrant reports. In the upcoming companion SASE Platforms Critical Capabilities report, Netskope is also the only vendor ranked as the highest scoring for three Use Cases and the second highest for a fourth Use Case. These findings highlight the company's performance across both security and networking capabilities.
Netskope provides the Netskope One platform, which converges security, network, and analytics products into a unified system. The platform is designed with zero trust principles and AI enhancements to support organisations adapting to cloud and AI-driven environments. According to the company, this architecture is intended to optimise network access, drive data protection, counter threats, and facilitate secure remote connectivity for workforces located anywhere.
"The right security and networking architecture is absolutely critical to how organisations modernise. With the purpose-built architecture of the Netskope One platform, and applying AI-ready security, our customers don't need to accept trade-offs between advanced security capabilities and network performance," said Sanjay Beri, CEO and co-founder, Netskope.
"We are very proud of our continued recognition as a Leader in SASE, SSE, and other market categories. In this specific report, it is validating to see Gartner's recognition of Netskope as likely to shape the SASE Platforms market, including with our innovations in post-quantum cryptography and how we are diligently extending SASE to nonhuman AI agents. We are committed to innovation and meeting our customers anywhere they are in their SSE and SASE journeys."
The Netskope One platform includes a range of integrated solutions, such as Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Enterprise Browser, Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), Unified Data Security functionalities including data loss prevention and data security posture management, Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), and Digital Experience Management (DEM). Proprietary AI models and patented innovations are present throughout the platform, and services are delivered over the Netskope NewEdge Network - a private cloud infrastructure developed to support high performance for secure enterprise access to various digital resources.
The company's approach aligns with Gartner's market forecasts for SASE.
Gartner predicts that by 2027, half of chief information officers and chief information security officers will prioritise consistent secure access for all types of branches, campuses, and edge locations. By 2028, 60% of SASE offerings are expected to have data security posture management integration to protect sensitive data across hybrid and cloud environments, and 70% of SD-WAN purchases will be as part of single-vendor SASE platforms, up from 25% in 2025. Gartner also forecasts considerable adoption of single-vendor SASE solutions among large organisations, with integration of generative AI techniques expected to contribute to threat detection and operational efficiencies in future deployments.
Netskope's position in the SASE and SSE market categories reflects the company's continuing development in merging network and security solutions to address changing digital security requirements and operational needs as organisations move to cloud and AI-enabled environments.
