Netskope (NASDAQ: NTSK) announced it has enhanced its NewEdge Network infrastructure to provide data sovereignty support across 24 countries, according to a company statement.

The cybersecurity company said its secure access services edge architecture now covers four components of data localization: network transport within national borders, domestic data processing, in-country storage of identifiable data and logs, and metadata governance within national boundaries.

The expansion includes data sovereignty capabilities in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

"With organizations moving at AI speed, any trade-off between governance and performance is unacceptable," said Joe DePalo, Chief Platform Officer at Netskope. "Our in-country data plane architecture combined with local data storage enables our customers to meet the non-negotiable demand for digital control while optimizing the user experience for business-critical AI, web, cloud and SaaS traffic."

Netskope's NewEdge Network now comprises over 120 data centers across more than 80 regions, including recent additions in Indonesia and Turkey. The company said it provides third-party validation and certifications for formal legal and governmental auditing of its sovereignty capabilities.

The enhanced infrastructure aims to address increasing national requirements for data control while maintaining network performance for AI workloads and other applications.
