Key people at Netskope.
Netskope is a cybersecurity company that builds a cloud-native security platform designed to protect organizations in the cloud and AI era. It serves enterprises by securing data, users, and applications across cloud services, SaaS, web, and AI workloads, solving the problem of securing a perimeter-less, distributed digital environment. Netskope’s platform consolidates multiple security functions—such as Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP)—into a unified, high-performance service that enables secure, seamless collaboration from anywhere. The company has demonstrated strong growth, serving over 3,400 customers including more than 30 of the Fortune 100, and recently went public in 2025, reflecting its leadership in the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) market[1][2][3][6].
Netskope was founded in 2012 by Sanjay Beri and co-founders Ravi, Lebin, and Krishna, who brought deep security and networking expertise from companies like Juniper Networks. The idea emerged from recognizing the digital transformation underway—where traditional network perimeters were dissolving due to cloud adoption and remote work—and the need for a security platform built specifically for this new reality. Early incubation at Social+Capital in Palo Alto helped the team rapidly hire top talent and focus on product development. Over time, Netskope evolved from offering discrete SaaS security products into a comprehensive platform named Security Service Edge (SSE), which converges multiple security capabilities in a cloud-native architecture[1][2][4][6].
Netskope rides the critical trend of digital transformation, cloud migration, and the shift to remote and hybrid workforces, which have dissolved traditional network perimeters. The timing is pivotal as organizations demand security solutions that are cloud-native, scalable, and capable of protecting data and users wherever they operate. The rise of SASE and SSE as industry frameworks reflects this shift, with Netskope positioned as a pioneer and leader. Market forces such as increasing cyber threats, regulatory requirements, and the explosion of SaaS and AI workloads further drive demand for Netskope’s integrated security platform. By enabling secure, high-performance cloud adoption, Netskope influences the broader ecosystem by setting standards for cloud security and zero trust architectures[1][3][6].
Looking ahead, Netskope is poised to deepen its leadership in cloud security by expanding AI-driven threat detection, enhancing automation, and broadening its platform capabilities to cover emerging technologies and workloads. The ongoing evolution of zero trust security and the increasing complexity of cloud environments will shape its journey. As enterprises continue to embrace multi-cloud and hybrid models, Netskope’s unified platform approach will be critical to maintaining security without compromising agility or user experience. Its recent IPO and sustained growth momentum suggest it will remain a key innovator and influencer in the cybersecurity landscape for years to come[1][3][5].
Netskope has raised $2.1B across 11 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $401.0M Other Equity in January 2023.
