Netskope Threat Labs is pleased to announce the release of a new open-source tool that detects supply chain attacks. Our new tool, Behavioral Evaluation of Application Metrics (BEAM), requires no endpoint agent deployment and will analyze the network traffic you are already capturing in your organization to determine if your applications are communicating with unusual hosts that could be part of an attack. This tool is the subject of a 2025 Black Hat USA briefing.

Large language models (LLMs) are transforming enterprise operations, but their growing use introduces a critical security challenge: securing how they access sensitive data and integrate with existing tools. This is where Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers become a vital, yet often overlooked, part of AI security. These servers act as the crucial link, enabling LLMs to securely connect with diverse data sources and tools, significantly expanding attack surfaces that demand our immediate attention.

Any organization that’s undergone a security transformation knows the promise of zero trust network access (ZTNA): secure, least-privilege access to private applications, anywhere, on any device. But turning that promise into operational reality is often far from simple. Between fragmented tools, complex configurations, and sprawling environments, implementing ZTNA can quickly become a manual, time-consuming, and error-prone process.

As someone that’s been in the industry for over 20 years, I’ve seen my fair share of online scams. But this is the kind of story you hear and can’t quite believe. At the last RSA cybersecurity conference, a colleague of mine–someone who lives and breathes digital security, a CISO–admitted he’d been taken in by an online romance scam. My first thought was, how?

SASE has transformed how organizations approach secure networking, uniting security and connectivity into a single, cloud-delivered model. As one of the original architects of SASE (along with Neil MacDonald), I was invited at ONUG Dallas to reflect on the state of SASE and what we might have missed in our original research.

In September 2024, Netskope Threat Labs reported on the XWorm malware and its infection chain. We revealed new XWorm command and control (C2) commands and dissected its notable features. After nearly a year of tracking this malware, we discovered a new version (version 6.0) in the wild, which introduced new features such as process protection and enhanced anti-analysis capabilities.

In today’s cloud-first world, security teams need real-time, actionable visibility into user activity and threats across the web, cloud, and private apps. The newly announced Netskope Log Streaming delivers just that. Netskope’s Log Streaming solution delivers significant value by providing real-time access to all Netskope-generated security logs directly into customers’ preferred cloud storage and last mile security information and event management (SIEM) tools.

At Netskope, we are relentlessly focused on empowering our customers to stay ahead of the curve in the face of the increasingly dynamic threat landscape. We’re thrilled to announce the expansion of our technology partner ecosystem through innovative new integrations. These strategic alliances with industry-leading companies are designed to deliver even more comprehensive protection and unparalleled visibility across your critical cloud environments. These new integration areas include.

Netskope has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic QuadrantTM for SASE Platforms. This is the second successive year, and we are now positioned furthest in vision in the Gartner Magic QuadrantTM reports for BOTH SASE Platforms and SSE. That’s what we, at Netskope, call “20/20 Vision.” In this year’s 2025 Critical Capabilities for SASE Platforms report, Gartner defined four key Use Cases.

In today’s evolving threats landscape, advanced technology on its own isn’t enough to fully secure an organization. As cyber attacks become increasingly sophisticated, the most crucial line of defense is often the human element.
