Secure access service edge (SASE) vendor, Netskope has acquired digital experience monitoring firm Kadiska.
Kadiska was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in France, with a international team of digital experience management experts.
It built its technology to combine real user experience monitoring with end-to-end network and application performance visibility from user devices to hybrid, SaaS and cloud applications.
These capabilities complement and enhance Netskope’s AI- and ML-fuelled proactive experience remediation cross the technology stack.
Netskope CEO and co-founder Sanjay Beri said: “Kadiska matches well with the Netskope platform.
“Both have been built to recognise the new world where data, users, cloud infrastructure and applications are all dispersed, leaving blind spots and challenges for organisations seeking to control and optimise experience and security.
“We already share some very large global customers and seeing the appetite for the integration – bringing together the capabilities of both companies – really proved to us the rationale for this acquisition,” he said.
Kadiska CEO Gilles Huguenin said,: “The Kadiska team has assembled unparalleled experience, bringing together individuals with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities for improving digital experience across complex modern infrastructure, applications and hybrid workplaces.
“We are incredibly excited that our team and technology has become a part of the Netskope platform as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to helping organisations overcome the historical trade-offs between security and user experience.”
Netskope recently debuted a new MSP partner programme featuring a new as-a-service business model framework.
The fresh MSP route is an extension of Netskope’s Evolve partner programme and aims to help partners expand their revenue streams with an additional route to market and profitable service offerings.
