In cloud security, staying ahead of potential threats is crucial. As organizations continue to embrace cloud technologies, ensuring robust security measures becomes increasingly complex. To address this challenge, Netskope is proud to announce an exciting new integration, empowering users to proactively safeguard their resources across hyperscaler environments like never before.

Introducing the Integration of Wiz Webhooks with Netskope API

Netskope, a leader in cloud security, has partnered with Wiz, a renowned cloud security platform, to introduce seamless integration of Wiz webhooks with the Netskope API. This collaboration enables customers to leverage real-time insights from Wiz's comprehensive cloud security platform directly within Netskope.

Proactive Policy Enforcement for Hyperscaler Resources

One of the key highlights of this integration is the ability to create dynamic policy changes in Netskope based on vulnerabilities detected by Wiz for your AWS, Azure, and GCP resources. By harnessing the intelligence provided by Wiz, Netskope users can now proactively identify and mitigate potential security risks, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of their data in your IaaS environments.

For example, if Wiz detects a critical vulnerability in an AWS EC2 Instance, Netskope can automatically enforce policies to restrict access for users until the issue is resolved. This level of automated response empowers organizations to mitigate risks in real-time, bolstering their overall security posture in the cloud.

How It Works

Wiz administrators trigger notifications of risky workloads in AWS, Azure, and GCP that promptly reach Netskope-supported AWS Lambda functions, signaling the emergence of a corresponding problem. Netskope then takes charge, extracting crucial details such as workload identity, and swiftly adapts by either modifying existing policies or crafting new ones.

These policies are intricately linked to decisions to either permit or prohibit access to the workload, dictating user connectivity through the Netskope platform with our ZTNA 360 solution. Users attempting to access the compromised workload are promptly blocked using a predefined blocking template, providing time for DevOps or Incident Response (IR) teams to address the issue effectively. Once the workload is restored to its secure state, Netskope automatically detects the resolution, dynamically restoring access without any manual intervention. This continuous feedback loop exemplifies the implementation of zero-trust principles in action. 

Taking it a step further, you can further enhance security measures by incorporating User Behavior Analytics (UBA) assessments of individuals identified as high-risk by Netskope. This advanced analysis allows for dynamic adjustments, enabling the system to promptly downgrade or revoke access for these individuals when interacting with sensitive workloads. This proactive approach helps safeguard critical assets by swiftly responding to potential threats identified through behavioral patterns, ensuring robust protection against unauthorized access.

Benefits of the Integration

• Enhanced Security Posture: By integrating Wiz’s real-time vulnerability insights with Netskope's policy enforcement capabilities, organizations can proactively address security threats before they escalate, minimizing the risk of data breaches and compliance violations.
• Streamlined Operations: Automation of policy enforcement based on Wiz’s intelligence streamlines security operations, reducing manual intervention and response times to security incidents.
• Comprehensive Cloud Protection: With visibility and control across Azure, GCP, and AWS resources, organizations can ensure consistent security policies are enforced, regardless of the complexity or scale of their cloud environment.
