<\/div>\n

Aiming to offer insight on the critical role network transformation plays in application, data and security transformation as modern enterprises embrace hybrid work, security service edge (SSE) and zero-trust technologies provider Netskope has announced the formation of a new advisory group.<\/p>\n

Outlining the background to establishing the group, Netskope<\/a> said enterprises were rapidly adopting secure access service edge (SASE) infrastructures<\/a> and applying zero-trust principles to safeguard data wherever it moves, support digital transformation efforts and right-size their technology infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The company cited Gartner research showing that b\u200by 2025, at least 60% of enterprises will have explicit strategies and timelines for SASE adoption<\/a> encompassing user, branch and edge access, up from 10% in 2020.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet Netskope warned that SASE as a concept would not succeed without transforming the underlying network and incorporating key infrastructure elements such as edge compute<\/a> and network peering.<\/p>\n

It argued that positioning data-centric security as close to the user as possible, with fast low-latency on-ramps, efficient traffic processing, and optimised access to the applications and content that matter most to enterprises \u2013 all without degrading performance \u2013 was key to a SASE-ready architecture. <\/span><\/p>\n

To assist enterprises with this transition, the new Netskope Network Visionaries advisory team will focus on<\/span> providing insights on the most important issues and key challenges affecting networking and infrastructure leaders; evangelising what the company sees as the critical role of network architecture, design and performance in successful SASE and security service edge (SSE) implementations; identifying and sharing customer and industry best practices for SASE and zero trust; influencing the strategic direction of Netskope and its product roadmap to ensure tight alignment with network transformation and the mission of enterprise networkers.<\/p>\n

Inaugural members include industry veterans Elaine Feeney \u2013 previously vice-president of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Infrastructure Global Expansion, responsible for expanding AWS\u2019 worldwide datacentre facilities and network infrastructure \u2013 and Alan Hannan \u2013 currently an advisor to Crowdstrike, where he previously served as vice-president of technical operations and engineering, who will work closely with Netskope and its customers on the networking and infrastructure investments required on-premise and in the cloud to support the requirements of a SASE architecture.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccess in SASE happens when enterprises also prioritise network performance and architecture,\u201d said Hannan. \u201cNetskope recognised early on that these things matter. I\u2019m very excited to support the next stage of its journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe bet on building the world\u2019s most well-connected network, NewEdge, back when the industry was still looking at us as \u2018only\u2019 a security vendor,\u201d said Joe DePalo, senior vice-president for platform engineering at Netskope, commenting on the setting up of the new body.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honoured to welcome top-calibre industry talent in Elaine and Alan as Netskope network visionaries, joining our distinguished roster of networking experts to help enterprises at every stage of a successful SASE journey.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
