Netskope One Private Access provides zero trust network access to private applications through secure direct connectivity. It combines ZTNA with bidirectional access for legacy applications in one client, positioned as a VPN replacement and an alternative to NAC and VDI. Users can connect through an agent or browser, with traffic routed through cloud or local brokers. Adaptive least-privilege access evaluates identity, device posture, location, activity, behavior, threat intelligence, and data risk; threat detection and data loss prevention are built in. Copilot for Private Access can recommend granular app segments and policies, or refine existing policies using real user data. Supported protocols include SSH, RDP, VoIP, and Microsoft SCCM. The client is recommended for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Chrome OS devices, with browser access as another option. Periodic re-authentication is not supported on Android, Chromebook, or Linux CLI mode. The product has no free plan; pricing is on request, and a free 14-day test drive is offered.
