Netskope One Advanced SSE for Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access (GSA)
Netskope led the way in SSE integration with Microsoft Entra GSA in November 2024. This created a unified security framework. It seamlessly combines identity and access management, cloud DLP, and threat protection.
This integration helps Japanese businesses, especially those with many locations or remote teams. It protects sensitive data and keeps users productive. Security policies can be consistently enforced by organizations, regardless of employee location, device, or level of application access.
Netskope CASB API for Microsoft 365 Copilot
Netskope CASB API works with Microsoft 365 Copilot. This helps organizations use AI tools for productivity. At the same time, it keeps data governance strong. This integration helps businesses monitor AI usage. It quickly enforces DLP policies. This stops accidental leaks of sensitive data.
This is all the more relevant for Japanese companies, as corporate compliance and standards of data protection are very strict, with the adoption of AI solutions like Microsoft 365 Copilot gaining momentum in the industries of finance, manufacturing, and healthcare.
日本のハイテク産業への影響
Enhancing Enterprise Cybersecurity in the AI Era
Japanese companies are at higher risk for cyber threats. These include information leaks and ransomware. The shift to AI solutions and cloud services makes this risk even greater. Enterprises can strengthen their defenses by using Netskope’s SSE and SASE solutions along with Microsoft’s cloud tools. This mix provides real-time visibility. It makes sure policies are enforced the same way and automates handling threats.
This development boosts the cybersecurity of Japanese companies. It also backs government efforts for digital transformation and safe AI use.
Supporting Hybrid Work and Cloud Adoption
The integration will allow Japanese organizations to apply zero-trust security architectures in practice. It enables employees to access corporate resources from anywhere securely, whether these are on-premise systems, cloud applications, or AI-powered tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot.
As hybrid work grows in Japan, these tools will help companies boost productivity. They can do this while keeping security strong. This balance gives them an advantage in competitive markets.
Driving AI Adoption Safely
Until now, Japanese enterprises have been cautious in deploying AI for critical business due to data privacy and compliance reasons. The collaboration between Netskope and Microsoft brings additional visibility and control that will further instill confidence in more organizations to confidently adopt AI solutions.
This is especially true as this partnership mitigates some of the risks of data leaks and misusage, hence ensuring that AI is effectively integrated into business operations, from automating operations to supporting high-value analytics and decision-making.
Opportunities for Cloud and Security Service Providers
Japanese cloud and cybersecurity providers will succeed by collaborating. Systems integrators, MSSPs, and IT consultants can use the Netskope and Microsoft stack. This helps them create custom security solutions. As a result, more businesses can quickly adopt SASE and SSE technologies.
戦略的意義
John Martin, Chief Product Officer at Netskope, reinforced the significance of enterprise-ready AI security, revealing that such integration enables organizations to “confidently embrace cloud and AI.” Joy Chik, President of Microsoft Identity & Network Access, further commented that this partnership is a great example of how combined security solutions help companies implement comprehensive, zero-trust environments while protecting users, data, and applications.
For Japan, this is a timely collaboration. With the nation focusing on AI innovation, cloud migration, and digital transformation, the integration of Netskope and Microsoft offers a secure foundation to adopt next-generation technology safely and efficiently.
