Top Security Startups in 2027

Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security. Since 2012, we have built the market-leading cloud security company and an award-winning culture powered by hundreds of employees spread across offices in Santa Clara, St. Louis, Bangalore, London, Melbourne, and Tokyo. Our core values are openness, honesty, and transparency, and we purposely developed our open desk layouts and large meeting spaces to support and promote partnerships, collaboration, and teamwork. From catered lunches and office celebrations to employee recognition events (pre and hopefully post-Covid) and social professional groups such as the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive and interactive.

Traditional cybersecurity solutions continue to use outdated and ineffective detect-and-respond strategies—a risky security approach for organizations moving critical business systems to the cloud. Menlo Security sees enterprises transforming their infrastructure driven by the adoption of SaaS. The adoption of SaaS is happening faster than people anticipated in the average enterprise. Secure cloud transformation is about how you can take control of this sea change and undertake the transformation on your terms. Cloud transformation means new ways that data flows into and out of the organization, new impacts on user performance and a loss of a central security control point for the cybersecurity team. Organizations need a cloud security platform that takes these dynamic challenges into account and delivers the complete network security stack from the cloud. Menlo Security's Cloud Platform uses an isolation Core to execute web sessions away from the endpoint and deliver only safely ren

It gathers network information that we analyze with a combination of automated tools and a team of security experts. The customer gets human created instructions on addressing the issues or changing the network.
