The SASE leader ascends to #12 on prestigious list in 2023
Netskope, a leader in secure access service edge (SASE), announced that for the seventh consecutive year, it has been named to the Forbes Cloud 100. Published by Forbes, in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures, the Forbes Cloud 100 list is the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world.
Netskope continues to be recognized as one of the world’s most important cloud companies and among the top security providers. In the 2023 Forbes Cloud 100, Netskope is ranked #12, up from #30 on last year’s list.
Enterprises are rapidly adopting SASE and Security Service Edge (SSE), with Gartner© predicting that, by 2025, 80% of enterprises will have adopted a strategy to unify web, cloud services and private application access using a SASE/SSE architecture. As a Leader in the 2023 Gartner 2023 Magic Quadrant™ for SSE, Netskope was this year placed highest in Ability to Execute and furthest in Completeness of Vision.
