# Netskope

Netskope is a cloud-based zero-trust service that secures access to enterprise applications and data in hybrid IT environments while reducing risk and simplifying security operations. See <https://www.netskope.com>. You can protect access to Netskope by integrating Netskope with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Netskope account through Identity as a Service.

warning

This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.33 and Netskope version 109.1.0.1127. Other versions of Netskope may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Netskope, use this procedure as a starting point for integrating Netskope. In the event of other issues, contact <support@entrust.com> for assistance.

Before you begin, open two browser windows. In one window, log in to your Gong Administrator account. In the other window, log in to your IDaaS administrator account.
