Netskope Earns AWS Security Competency Certification in AI Security

Netskope Achieves AWS Security Competency in AI Security

Netskope, a leader in security and networking technology for the cloud and AI era, announced on March 19, 2026, that it has been awarded the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Competency certification in the AI security domain. This certification recognizes Netskope's ability to meet AWS's technical and quality requirements, enabling it to deliver advanced solutions to protect AI workloads for AWS customers across various AI security use cases.

The rapid adoption of AI is transforming how customers build and utilize applications but also introduces new security risks that require specialized knowledge. "Shadow AI" represents just one of the ongoing risks organizations face. According to Netskope’s recently released 2026 Cloud and Threat Report, nearly half (47%) of generative AI users are utilizing personal AI applications. The AI Security category within the AWS Security Competency ensures that customers can easily choose AWS partners with a proven track record of effectively addressing risks such as Shadow AI and non-human traffic, as well as protecting AI environments.

By leveraging its deep expertise in AWS and its ability to seamlessly deliver solutions on the platform, Netskope aims to assist organizations in implementing, building, and deploying security into their AWS environments, thereby enhancing their overall security posture.

Through the industry-leading Netskope One platform, the company aids customers in securing their AI workloads. Here are some key AI use cases:

Optimizing Network Paths to Critical AI Destinations

Netskope optimizes network paths to AI applications hosted in public cloud, private cloud, or neo-cloud environments. The NewEdge AI Fast Path feature reduces latency and costs while enhancing performance and resilience, providing teams with a secure environment for utilization.

Enabling AI-Ready Data Security

Netskope One Data Lineage provides visualization and analysis capabilities, enabling AI-ready data security. Building on advanced data security controls, Netskope empowers teams to track and understand the movement of sensitive data across the organization confidently, driving AI innovation roadmaps.

Protecting AI Interactions with MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is gaining attention as a desirable approach for connecting AI agents to corporate resources. Netskope One enables full visibility into the usage of MCP tools, applies least-privilege access, protects sensitive data, and ensures compliance.

Providing AI-Driven UZTNA

Netskope’s enhanced Universal Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA) solution offers context-based device intelligence capabilities. This ensures visibility of all connected devices, streamlining ZTNA management through automated, granular policy creation.

John Martin, Netskope’s Chief Product Officer, stated, “The AWS AI Security Competency program signifies providers that demonstrate exceptional innovation and deliver new value to customers leveraging AI. Netskope has built a solid track record in ensuring data safety, and this certification further validates the comprehensiveness and strength of the solutions we provide to protect AI workloads.”
