94% of successful cyberattacks involve data exfiltration. And most occur in an area that SASE architectures do not yet govern: file sharing with third parties.
With that premise in mind, the private workshop “Extending SASE: Governing Data in Motion,” organized by Tranxfer in collaboration with our partners at Netskope, kicked off this morning in Madrid. A session designed for cybersecurity leaders who have already deployed SASE and are wondering how to close that last mile.
The last mile that no one has fully closed
Organizations have made tremendous progress in governing internal traffic: DLP policies, web filtering, visibility into cloud applications. But when an employee needs to send a contract to a client or share documentation with an external vendor, that flow rarely goes through corporate controls.
The result is predictable: WeTransfer, personal Dropbox, unencrypted email attachments. Shadow IT in its purest form. And a risk vector that 44% of employees activate every day by using unauthorized file-sharing platforms.
This is the problem that Tranxfer and Netskope have spent the last three years working together to solve—and which we are presenting publicly for the first time today in a workshop format.
How the Integration Works
The joint proposal is based on a simple premise: you can’t govern what you don’t control, and you can’t control it if the user has a more convenient alternative.
Netskope acts as a SASE layer, inspecting traffic in real time. When it detects an attempt to transfer data to an unauthorized service, it doesn’t block the connection abruptly; instead, it displays a pop-up that redirects the user to Tranxfer, the approved corporate channel. The employee isn’t blocked; they’re guided. Adoption is complete and automatic.
Once in Tranxfer, each file passes through DLP OnDemand: content classification, policy enforcement based on user context and destination, and a complete log of everything that happens. Control doesn’t end with the transfer: the integration allows you to revoke access, set expiration dates, and maintain end-to-end forensic traceability.
The Key Message
The Zero Trust model is not complete until it governs the movement of data between people, systems, and organizations. SASE architectures have solved access. The maturity of the model demands going one step further: governing what goes out.
The combination of SASE and Secure File Exchange makes this possible without complex projects, without user friction, and with regulatory compliance built into the architecture: NIS2, GDPR, DORA, ISO 27001.
