What Netskope does

US cloud security company providing SASE/zero-trust network security that protects cloud application and internet access.

Sells annual or multi-year subscriptions to a cloud platform that inspects employees' web and app traffic. Customers usually start with one product, such as a secure web gateway, and expand to more modules and users over time; there is no hardware to own.

Products and services

  • Secure web gateway (SWG)
  • Cloud access security broker (CASB)
  • Zero-trust network access (ZTNA)

Customers

  • Large enterprises
  • Government agencies

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Software/cybersecurity
  • Cloud security (SASE/CASB)
  • Enterprises securing cloud/SaaS access

What could go right

  • Zero-trust/SASE architecture adoption growth
  • Cloud/SaaS security budget growth

What could go wrong

  • Intensifying SASE competition (Zscaler, Palo Alto)
  • Recently public - limited execution track record

Moat: narrow (switching costs, scale). Once enterprise traffic is routed through its cloud security platform, switching architecture is a major project.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
