Netskope and Softbank have reached an MSP agreement that sees Netskope’s Intelligent Security Services Edge (SSE) solution provided to Japanese enterprises.
The partnership is the first of its kind for Netskope in Japan and marks a significant milestone in the American company’s expansion in the market.
SoftBank’s fully managed Netskope Intelligent SSE service is an expansion of a successful partnership which first started in 2023. To promote adoption among a wide range of businesses, including large corporations as well as small and medium-sized enterprises, SoftBank has recently strengthened their service delivery system, including the development of engineers to execute the MSP agreement.
The service includes comprehensive support for customers’ cloud security, data protection, and compliance measures, which are provided in addition to the security monitoring already available through SoftBank’s existing managed security services.
Hironori Nakano, Vice President, Enterprise Product & Business Strategy Division, SoftBank, said: “As the demand for digitization grows – driven by cutting-edge technology such as Generative AI – the importance of SSE in enabling secure cloud utilization also grows – we are confident that our work with Netskope will further improve our service to a wide range of customers together.”
Jin Ichiro Daikoku, Country Manager, Netskope Japan, said: “To have a company of SoftBank’s caliber offer our platform as a managed service is a testament to the industry recognition and technology leadership.”
