security service edge (sse) technical

"Netskope’s Security Service Edge (SSE) services"

Security Service Edge (SSE) is a cloud-based bundle of tools that protects users and data as they access internet services and applications, no matter where they are. Think of it as a virtual security checkpoint that inspects traffic, blocks threats, and enforces access rules before data moves between people, apps, and the internet. Investors care because SSE shapes cybersecurity spending, recurring revenue models for vendors, and a company’s ability to safely scale cloud and remote work, which affects risk and growth prospects.

network-as-a-service (naas) technical

"Global Fabric network-as-a-service (NaaS) platform"

Network-as-a-service (NaaS) is a way companies rent managed networking capabilities — like secure connections, routing and traffic control — from a provider instead of building and running their own hardware. Think of it like paying for utility-grade internet plumbing rather than installing pipes yourself; for investors it signals subscription-style, recurring revenue for providers and can lower customers' upfront costs and scaling risk, affecting demand and margins.

ixp peering technical

"which leverage direct IXP peering to connect into the Netskope One platform"

ixp peering is the practice of two or more network operators (such as internet service providers, content providers, or carriers) directly exchanging internet traffic with each other at an internet exchange point (IXP) rather than routing that traffic through third-party transit providers. Participants connect equipment to the shared switching fabric at the IXP and establish bilateral or multilateral routing agreements so routes and traffic pass between them efficiently; peering can be settlement-free or paid, and it reduces latency and transit costs but does not itself replace broader upstream connectivity or guarantee capacity beyond the parties' agreed ports and policies.

sase technical

"A single BT-managed SASE experience combining Netskope's SSE"

SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge, is a modern technology that combines network security and access management into a single, cloud-based service. It ensures that users can safely connect to company resources from anywhere, much like having a secure, virtual gatekeeper that protects digital information. For investors, SASE matters because it reflects how organizations are adopting advanced security measures to support flexible, remote work environments and protect valuable data.

Collaboration gives organizations optimized, high-performance connectivity between Netskope's SSE capabilities and BT's Global Fabric network, accelerating secure adoption of AI and cloud applications

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Netskope (NASDAQ: NTSK), a leader in modern security and networking for the cloud and AI era, has expanded its partnership with BT International. Organizations can now deploy optimized connectivity to Netskope’s Security Service Edge (SSE) services through BT International's AI-ready Global Fabric network-as-a-service (NaaS) platform. This will help them roll out and scale AI agents, cloud applications, and autonomous digital workflows securely.

As organizations adopt AI at scale, network traffic patterns are changing fast. A growing number of users, AI agents, applications, and devices demand more bandwidth, lower latency, and access to multiple clouds from more locations, pushing traditional network and security architectures past their limits.

By using optimized Global Fabric connectivity into Netskope One SSE, customers can leverage select predictable, high-performance routes for their traffic, improving applications’ responsiveness and user experience. It does this through Global Fabric’s cloud-centric architecture and strategically located points of presence around the world, which leverage direct IXP peering to connect into the Netskope One platform.

The partnership builds on Netskope's position as a leading SSE provider, including its recent recognition for the fifth year in a row as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge. It is one of a select group of SSE integrations now available through Global Fabric, reflecting Netskope's role as a strategic security partner as BT International expands the platform to help customers accelerate cloud transformation and AI adoption while meeting evolving security and sovereignty requirements.

“Netskope is a strategic partner in helping us deliver the AI-ready digital foundations our customers need,” said Matt Swinden, managing director, strategy & product, BT International. “Bringing together the Netskope SSE platform with Global Fabric gives customers a more predictable, higher-performing path between their users, agents, and the security services protecting them, while giving them the flexibility to choose the level of protection that fits their business.”

Key benefits for customers include:

• Optimized, low-latency routing between users, AI agents, with the help of IXP peering between the Netskope One platform and BT’s Global Fabric.
• Consistent security policy enforcement and performance for users anywhere in the world.
• Faster, safer scaling of agentic AI and cloud application adoption with real-time, context-based protection.
• A single BT-managed SASE experience combining Netskope's SSE with Global Fabric connectivity, improving resilience and path diversity.

“AI is rapidly changing what organizations need from their security architecture,” said Parag Thakore, Chief Product Officer, SASE, Netskope. “Agents, applications, and users all need fast, reliable, real-time access to data and cloud services, and that means security has to be built into the network path, not bolted on as an afterthought. By bringing closer the Netskope One platform and BT International’s Global Fabric, we’re giving multinational customers an optimized, high-performance routing capability to the protection they need, without the latency and complexity of traditional architectures.”
