Case Study: Leading Automotive Company achieves cloud-first security and unified web and cloud visibility with Netskope

How a Leading Automotive Company Embraces “Cloud-First” with the Right Security

A large global automotive company faced a crossroads as its on‑premises web proxy neared renewal: a new cloud‑first strategy exposed gaps in cloud app visibility and control, slow delivery of IT services, high MPLS and appliance maintenance costs, and the need to better support remote workers. The team wanted a consolidated, future‑proof security approach that would provide faster service delivery, granular policy controls, and visibility into encrypted traffic.

They selected Netskope’s cloud‑edge SASE solution—including Next‑Gen SWG, Advanced Threat Protection, Cloud Risk Insights, and professional services—to replace appliance backhauling with a centralized cloud security platform. The deployment delivered unified web and cloud visibility (including TLS inspection), granular user/group policies and real‑time coaching, reduced MPLS and maintenance costs, enabled direct‑to‑cloud remote access, and improved global performance and threat protection.
