Netskope's Private Access Solution is a service that allows users to securely access private applications without exposing them to the internet or using VPNs. It provides protection for private applications by encrypting the traffic, enforcing granular policies, and preventing data exfiltration. It also provides access to private applications by creating a secure tunnel between the user's device and the application's server, regardless of their location or network. It does not act as a cloud-based firewall, as it does not filter or block traffic based on ports or protocols. It does not require on-premises hardware, as it is a cloud-native solution that leverages Netskope's global network of points of presence (POPs). References: [Netskope Private Access].
