Netskope Announces "Netskope One AI Security" to Deliver High-Performance Protection Across the AI Ecosystem

Netskope Japan (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "Netskope"), an industry leader in modern security and networking technologies for the cloud and AI era, has announced Netskope One AI Security. This is a suite of AI security features integrated into the Netskope One platform to visualize and protect the entire AI ecosystem, thereby accelerating its deployment.

The adoption of AI in Japan is advancing rapidly. According to a Netskope survey, employees use generative AI in 80% of organizations based in Japan, an increase from 69% a year ago. As the number of AI users and the frequency of use grow, risks associated with inputting sensitive data into prompts or uploading documents have become apparent. Japanese organizations currently average over 500 generative AI-related data policy violations per month, reaching a level more than double the global average (223 per month). Among these violations, regulated data accounts for 48%, followed by intellectual property (38%), source code (9%), and passwords and API keys (5%). These figures are based on the "AI Index," an industry-first metric released alongside Netskope One AI Security that tracks global AI adoption and emerging risks.

Behind this trend is the challenge of insufficiently visualizing the usage of AI applications, agents, and data. Conventional security measures cannot fully grasp the flow and actual usage of data through AI, resulting in an increased risk of data breaches and inappropriate use.

Netskope One AI Security provides comprehensive visibility, understanding, and real-time control over the AI applications, models, agents, and tools in use, all on a single, fully integrated platform. Furthermore, it analyzes the unique risks associated with each, promoting secure AI adoption across the entire ecosystem.

Additionally, it offers Netskope NewEdge AI Fast Path, a set of features that efficiently optimizes connection latency to AI services. By combining the high-performance access of NewEdge AI Fast Path with the intelligent, context-aware Zero Trust controls of Netskope One AI Security, it delivers integrated performance, resilience, and security optimized for enterprise AI.

Netskope One AI Security primarily provides the following features:

Netskope One Agentic Broker: Provides visibility and control over all MCP transactions, whether approved or unapproved, enabling organizations to safely manage interactions with agentic AI.

Netskope One AI Guardrails: Prevents AI-specific threats such as prompt injections and jailbreaks, and provides content moderation for Large Language Models (LLMs), enabling responsible AI use.

Netskope One AI Gateway: Inspects and enforces security policies for private AI apps and LLMs hosted or built by the organization itself.

Netskope One AI Red Teaming: Executes simulations assuming an attacker (red teaming) to identify vulnerabilities and assess the safety risks of LLMs and AI applications.

Corporate investment in AI continues to expand at a rapid pace. According to IDC, global enterprise spending on AI is projected to reach $241.8 billion in 2025 and exceed $867.3 billion by 2029*1. On the other hand, this rapid spread of AI is also creating significant security gaps. Organizations utilizing traditional security products are unable to sufficiently visualize how their proprietary data is being used within AI-based applications, private and public AI models, and AI agents and tools. As a result, there is a possibility that AI systems may bypass security measures, leading to risks such as data breaches, prompt abuse, and inappropriate usage.

Netskope One AI Security provides comprehensive visibility, understanding, and real-time control over the AI applications, models, agents, and tools in use, all on a single, fully integrated platform. It also analyzes the unique risks associated with each, promoting secure AI adoption across the entire ecosystem.
