Macnica (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Kazumasa Hara; hereinafter referred to as Macnica) is a total service and solution provider in semiconductors, networks, cybersecurity, and AI/IoT. Netskope, Inc. (Headquarters: U.S. We are pleased to announce that we have entered into a primary agency agreement with Netscope, Santa Clara, California, CEO: Sanjay Beri. This leverages advanced data analysis technology and flexible collaboration with various products to provide zero trust access centered on data in a multi-vendor environment.

1. SSE that integrates security functions that are attracting attention in "Zero Trust"
With the rapid spread of telecommuting and the increasing use of cloud-based applications and services, defense-in-depth measures centered on data centers are reaching their limits. This is where the “Zero Trust Network” comes into play. The security concept is to always check the status of users and devices before connecting, regardless of where they work, such as the office, home, or cafe, and grant access each time.
At this time, SSE (Security Service Edge) is attracting attention as a solution that can centrally control access by passing all communications through a common route without exception. SSE is an integrated cloud gateway solution that aggregates the four core security functions of SWG (Secure Web Gateway), CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker), FWaaS (Firewall as a Service), and ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access). is.

2. What is Netskope SSE?
(1) Highly aggregated and integrated SSE
In addition to the four core functions of SSE, it is also possible to integrate RBI (WEB isolation) and CSPM/SSPM (cloud security configuration auditing). Recognized as one of the leaders in the 2022 Gartner® Security Services Edge (SSE) Magic Quadrant™. *

(2) Intelligent SSE with advanced data analysis technology
Visualize access to cloud services and determine risks through our own huge database of cloud services that we have accumulated over 10 years since our founding. There are also advanced data security functions, such as OCR (analysis of text embedded in images) and DLP (data leakage prevention to determine whether data is confidential information).

(3) Open SSE without lock-in that realizes multi-vendor collaboration
With rich APIs, Netskope SSE serves as a hub to work with various Zero Trust vendors. Realize a best-of-breed Zero Trust network with no vendor lock-in.

3. Macnica 's goal of best-of-breed "Zero Trust"
Macnica will add Netskope SSE to the core solutions for achieving zero trust, such as EDR, IDaaS, and XDR, which it has previously handled, to realize the optimal zero trust for customer environments from a broad product portfolio.
Zero Trust is not achieved by a single product, but by deep integration between each product. Utilizing Macnica 's knowledge of handling overseas products and its well-established verification environment, we support integration with various products that utilize NetScope's rich APIs. For example, we can also propose integration with IDaaS and EDR that customers have already implemented.

・IDaaS linkage: Linking IDaaS such as Okta with user information to reduce man-hours during deployment
・EDR cooperation: Cooperate with CrowdStrike, Tanium, etc. to realize control based on terminal status and threats
・XDR linkage: Realize security automation by linking access logs, etc. with XDR operation infrastructure
・SaaS linkage: Real-time visualization and understanding of communication data to SaaS such as BOX, preventing leakage of confidential data

We also provide consistent support for product selection, requirement definition, implementation, and subsequent operation of zero trust solutions.In addition to design and construction, through technical training and customer success after implementation, we provide lectures and establish how to use it. , we will accompany you to maximize the value of the introduced solution.

In order to provide the above, we will continue to recruit Zero Trust partners to promote Zero Trust business together.

We have received the endorsement of Netskope, Inc. CEO Sanjay Beri for this announcement.
"We are very pleased to be working with Macnica, a pioneer in cutting-edge security solutions. By working closely with Macnica 's wide product portfolio, we will be able to help our customers achieve Zero Trust.
