Netskope Unveils Enhanced AI Security Solutions to Combat New Threats

Netskope Unveils Netskope One AI Security

In a significant move, Netskope Japan has introduced its state-of-the-art Netskope One AI Security platform, which integrates advanced AI security features tailored for the cloud and AI-driven era. As organizations in Japan rapidly adopt AI technologies, it's crucial to ensure their security frameworks can keep pace with these changes.

According to a recent survey by Netskope, a remarkable 80% of Japanese organizations now have employees utilizing generative AI, a sharp increase from 69% just a year prior. Moreover, with the rising use of AI, the potential risks associated with sharing sensitive data—particularly through prompts and document uploads—are becoming more pronounced. On average, more than 500 data policy violations associated with generative AI occur monthly in Japan alone, a noteworthy figure that more than doubles the global average of 223 incidences. Alarmingly, 48% of these violations pertain to regulated data, with significant portions accounting for intellectual property (38%), source code (9%), and credentials (5%). This data serves as the foundation for the AI Index, an industry-first metric launched alongside the Netskope One AI Security that tracks AI adoption and risks on a global scale.

The challenges surrounding insufficient visibility into AI applications and data usage are at the forefront of these statistics. Traditional security measures struggle to adequately monitor the complexities of data flow generated by AI, leading to increased risks of data breaches and misuse.

The Netskope One AI Security aims to rectify these issues by providing a unified platform that offers comprehensive visibility and control in real-time over deployed AI applications, models, agents, and tools. By analyzing the unique risks associated with each component, the platform fosters a safer AI ecosystem for all parties involved.

Furthermore, an array of features is included, such as the Netskope NewEdge AI Fast Path, which optimizes connection latencies to AI services effectively. By combining the high-performance access of NewEdge AI Fast Path with the intelligent, context-aware zero-trust controls of Netskope One AI Security, organizations benefit from a significantly enhanced performance and security structure designed for enterprise AI.

Key Features of Netskope One AI Security

1. Netskope One Agentic Broker: Provides visibility and control over all MCP transactions—regardless of their approval status—enabling secure interactions between organizations and AI agents.

2. Netskope One AI Guardrails: Prevents unique AI threats such as prompt injections and jailbreaks while offering content moderation for large language models (LLMs) to ensure responsible AI usage.

3. Netskope One AI Gateway: Empowers organizations to inspect and enforce security policies on private AI apps and LLMs, whether hosted internally or built by the organizations themselves.

4. Netskope One AI Red Teaming: Conducts simulations to identify vulnerabilities by anticipating potential attacker behaviors, enhancing the security risk assessments for LLMs and AI applications.

With a surge in AI investments, IDC projects that global enterprise spending on AI will reach a staggering $241.8 billion by 2025, surpassing $867.3 billion by 2029. Yet, this rapid adoption has simultaneously created substantial security gaps. Many organizations employing traditional security products lack visibility into how AI-based applications and tools utilize their data, risking potential leaks and misuse.

Netskope's comprehensive approach, utilizing their One platform and NewEdge network architecture, is poised to address these new security issues effectively. Yuichi Gonda, Vice President and Country Manager of Netskope Japan, emphasized, "The era of AI has arrived, and there is a growing demand for high-performance security and networking solutions. As AI adoption surges within Japanese enterprises, we'll inevitably see more companies leveraging AI agents in the near future. We believe the next decade will be dominated by organizations utilizing AI. Our architecture, designed with the necessary foundations to responsibly implement new technologies, addresses the complex data flows created by today's AI ecosystems. Through our newly launched AI security product suite and AI Fast Path infrastructure, we offer advanced real-time protection to accommodate the speed of inference processing."

Netskope One AI Security features, including the Agentic Broker, AI Gateway, AI Guardrails, and AI Red Teaming, are all now available for public use, with support for Japan being rolled out progressively.
