"By pairing Wipro's deep cybersecurity managed services expertise with Netskope's advanced, full-stack SASE platform, this partnership will build on our shared goal of providing customers an efficient and robust integrated managed cloud security offering to secure and accelerate their digital transformation projects."

"Wipro and Netskope support many Fortune 2000 companies that have successfully navigated significant digital transformation journeys," said Tony Buffomante, Senior Vice President and Global Vice President and Global Head of Cybersecurity and Risk Services, at Wipro. "As our clients move forward, they understand the need to have a strong cloud-based security posture that's smart enough to protect data, applications, and users no matter where they are located. That's now possible through this new partnership with Netskope, which extends Wipro CyberTransform and Wipro CyberShieldSM capabilities." 

Managed Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) powered by Netskope delivers security services to protect employees and applications in the cloud as well as existing on-premises applications and infrastructure. The solution helps users: 

• Eliminate blind spots across thousands of cloud services (SaaS and IaaS) and millions of websites 
• Secure managed cloud services like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and AWS, as well as unmanaged cloud services, without the need for blocking 
• Guard sensitive data with award-winning data loss prevention (DLP), including pre-defined profiles for compliance 
• Stop elusive cloud threats with anti-malware, sandboxing, machine learning (ML) analysis, Cloud Threat Exchange for IOC sharing, plus behavior analytics or targeted remote browser isolation (RBI) 

The managed SASE package offers clients unparalleled service coverage, performance, and resilience, by leveraging Wipro's strategy-first design and Netskope's NewEdge Network. They are the world's largest, highest-performing security private cloud. 

Access to key enterprise applications and data must be controlled no matter where the resources are located. Wipro's Managed Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) powered by Netskope allows users to retire legacy connections and gain direct access to applications based on user identity and behavioral context, providing: 

1. Superior user experience with consistent and secure policy controls 
2. Application-level access control that reduces threats by eliminating lateral movement within the network 
3. Reduced deployment complexity and higher visibility and control, lowering the risk of data loss associated with multiple vendor solutions 
4. Improved efficiency in security operations leveraging platforms 
5. Simplified security and lower total cost of ownership. 

These are some points in consideration for security and network services.
