Entry priceNot publicFull pricing detail

Cloud security platform with the AgentSkope agent layer: Data Security, Insider Threat and Private Access agents act autonomously and log every action, conversational agents answer telemetry questions, and an AI Risk agent is reaching GA; REST API and regional management planes.

Netskope is a cloud security and networking company (NASDAQ: NTSK) whose Netskope One platform added an agent layer, AgentSkope, in May 2026. The autonomous agents run end-to-end work for security and network operations: the Data Security Agent mimics a security operations analyst through data protection workflows, the Insider Threat Agent monitors risky users daily, produces prioritized, evidence-backed insights and investigates analyst-created cases automatically, and the Private Access Agent audits Private Access configuration and removes dormant settings. The DEM Data Intelligence, DEM Insights and CCI Insights agents answer questions about telemetry and application risk in natural language rather than acting.

The AI Risk AISecOps Agent, announced with the Netskope One AI Command Center on 2 June 2026, triages and investigates AI risk and drives response, moving to general availability through Q3 2026. Netskope states that every agent action is logged under unified controls. The platform exposes a REST API v2, runs management planes in the US, EU, UK, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and Singapore with customer-selectable processing zones, and holds SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and FedRAMP High. The wider AI portfolio (Agentic Broker, AI Gateway, AI Guardrails, AI Red Teaming) governs other parties' AI rather than running Netskope's own agents.

Integrations

AgentSkope agents act on Netskope One surfaces (data protection, insider risk cases, Private Access configuration) and query Netskope telemetry and the CCI application catalog. The REST API v2 exposes events, alerts, incidents, policies, users and DLP to other systems.

In practice

A SOC lets the DLP AISecOps Agent fold millions of daily alerts into about a hundred prioritized cases with identity, device and data context added, then directs remediation from one screen.

A network team has the Private Access Agent audit its Private Access setup and remove settings nobody uses anymore.

A security analyst asks the CCI Insights Agent in plain language which cloud apps carry the riskiest attributes.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Partial
Agents act on Netskope's own platform surfaces: the Data Security Agent runs data protection workflows and the Private Access Agent audits configurations and removes dormant settings. No agent tool calls into third-party systems are documented. A Netskope AI agent also works inside Microsoft Security Copilot, and Netskope suggests sending the agent's findings, rather than raw alerts, on to a SIEM or SOAR. SourceNetskope, netskope.com/netskope-one/agentskope, docs.netskope.com AI agents and the AgentSkope for SecOps blogread 2026-10-05
Workflow Orchestration	Full
Several agents of Netskope's own run end-to-end workflows: the Data Security Agent mimics an analyst through data protection workflows, the Insider Threat Agent investigates analyst-created cases, the Private Access Agent audits configuration, and the AI Risk AISecOps Agent triages, investigates and drives response. How they coordinate with one another is not detailed. Some agents act on their own while others answer questions in conversation, and all of them draw on a shared credit pool under one auditable control plane. SourceNetskope, netskope.com/netskope-one/agentskoperead 2026-10-05
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Partial
Agents work over Netskope telemetry and the CCI and DEM data they query conversationally, and the AI Command Center maps AI assets to identities and data. Netskope describes no search over the customer's own documents for agents. The DLP agent adds identity, device and data context to each case automatically.

Human Oversight & Guardrails	Partial
Agents act under unified controls and the Insider Threat Agent produces prioritized, evidence-backed insights for analysts. Analysts direct remediation from a single interface and can review and rescore risk levels, but Netskope documents no step where a person must confirm before an agent's fix runs.

SourceNetskope, netskope.com/netskope-one/agentskoperead 2026-10-05
Memory & State Persistence	Not documented
Netskope describes no memory an agent keeps, what it would hold or for how long, and cases persist as platform records. The DLP agent learns from how analysts resolve incidents and uses that to cut false positives, without saying where that learning is kept.

Pricing

Not public

What is public

Nothing numeric. Netskope's site, product pages and investor materials publish no list price, per user rate or unit of sale for AgentSkope or the Netskope One platform; product pages route to a contact or demonstration request.

Cost watchouts

Inference, not stated by the vendor: AgentSkope agents sit on Netskope One modules (data protection, Private Access, digital experience), so reaching an agent may depend on the module underneath it.

Variable cost rationale

Inference, not stated by the vendor: with no billing unit published, cost depends on the platform modules and scope bought.

Additional watchouts

Establish whether AgentSkope carries its own line or is bundled into platform modules.

Sales call required

Yes, required for paid access

Free / trial

No trial of AgentSkope. A free test drive exists for Netskope Private Access, which is a different product.

Key ambiguities

Whether AgentSkope carries its own list line, is bundled into platform tiers or is metered by agent runs is not published. No public statement distinguishes the six launch agents commercially, and the AI Risk AISecOps Agent, moving to general availability through Q3 2026, has no stated commercial terms.
