“I would say that there's a lot of power in the singles. The single policy framework, the single console, the single agent. I've talked to a lot of folks who complain about having to log into multiple consoles, multiple single panes of glass, as some people might want to say. And they love the fact that when they come to Netskope, it's one spot. The singles are helping us eliminate all of these acronyms and eliminate all of the ways [of] thinking differently about the different destinations and having that unified policy mindset.” – Steve Riley
