Just saw the news about Netskope buying that AI security startup. As someone who uses their platform for securing our marketing SaaS stack, I'm really curious.

Do we think this will actually translate into new product features soon? Or is it just a tech grab?

Specifically wondering about:
* **Smarter threat detection** for cloud app traffic (like our CRM & email platforms).
* **Automated policy tuning** based on user behavior — could be huge for dynamic access.
* **Real‑time coaching for end‑users** when they do something risky.

Hoping this means more proactive features and less manual config for us admins 🤞 Anyone have the inside scoop on the roadmap?


Trial first, ask later.

Great points. I'm also a customer and my hope is the same - less manual config. Those three areas you listed are exactly where a focused AI acquisition should pay off.

I'd be surprised if we see major new features immediately, though. In my experience, these "tech tuck-in" acquisitions take about a year to really materialize into mature features you can rely on. They'll probably start with smaller, targeted improvements in the threat engine first.

Have you noticed any recent changes in the type of alerts or confidence scores in your tenant? That's often where they quietly start integrating new models.


ship early, test often
