    New Product Available – Remote Browser Isolation

    Netskope Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) capabilities are now integrated into the Netskope Security Cloud.

    Note

    Netskope native RBI is now generally available as an add-on feature for all accounts starting with release 88. Contact your Sales representative for more information.

    While legacy Secure Web Gateways (SWG) are limited in that they can only block known bad web sites and allow known good ones, RBI technology enhances the Netskope SWG by providing safe access to uncategorized and risky web sites, removing threat risks or productivity limitations that can occur for users when sites are either fully allowed or fully blocked.

    Targeted RBI renders uncategorized and security-risk web sites (6-8% of all web requests) into pixel-streamed media to users while removing active scripts and potential web threats. Another key benefit of targeted RBI is to block file uploads and downloads and disable copy, paste, or print activity for uncategorized and security risk web sites to reduce data exfiltration and threat risks.

    Netskope native RBI is fully integrated and invoked with an “isolate” policy control for desired web traffic, removing the complexity of forward proxy configurations.

    Key functionality includes:

    New Product Available – Netskope Cloud Firewall

    Netskope Cloud Firewall (CFW) is a firewall-as-a-service offering that helps reduce complexity, lower overall operational expenses, prevent a degraded user experience, and accelerate time-to-value for organizations transforming their security and networking to meet the demands of branch offices and a remote-first workforce.

    Netskope Cloud Firewall is fully integrated into the Netskope Security Cloud and offers:

    • Network security for all outbound ports and protocols for safe, direct-to-internet access using the Netskope client on managed devices or via GRE and IPSec tunnels for offices.
    • 5-tuple policy controls, user and group IDs, FQDNs, and wildcards for egress firewall settings, plus seamless FTP ALG support, and full logging (TCP, UDP, ICMP) with event export.
    • Centralized access control, providing simplified management for users and branch offices using one console, one policy engine, and one security platform.
    • Netskope Security Cloud integrates CFW with SWG, CASB, and ZTNA solutions for users and offices, to provide protection to all ports and protocols.

    Note

    Contact Netskope support to enable CFW in your account. CFW is available with IPSec, GRE, and Windows 10 Netskope Client. You can download the Netskope client (with cloud firewall support) from the Netskope support site located here (requires a login).
