What is Skyhigh Security?
Skyhigh Security (formerly McAfee Enterprise's cloud business) is a cloud security platform specializing in data-aware Security Service Edge (SSE), combining CASB, SWG, ZTNA, and DLP with a particular focus on protecting sensitive data across cloud services, web, and private applications. Originally the CASB pioneer as Skyhigh Networks before McAfee's acquisition, Skyhigh maintains cloud data protection capabilities including its Cloud Registry of 40,000+ cloud services, advanced DLP with optical character recognition and exact data matching, and deep API-based CASB for SaaS posture management.
Best for: Data-centric organizations in regulated industries that prioritize cloud data protection, CASB depth, and DLP over networking features
Pros
- Industry-pioneering CASB with the deepest cloud service risk assessment database
- Advanced DLP with OCR, exact data match, and ML-based classification
- Strong in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare) with compliance-focused features
- Extensive API integrations with major SaaS platforms for out-of-band security
- Cloud Registry provides strong visibility into Shadow IT risk
Things to check
- Brand identity and product roadmap still stabilizing after McAfee separation
- SWG and ZTNA capabilities are less mature than pure-play SASE vendors
- Smaller global network footprint than Zscaler, Cloudflare, and Netskope
- No native SD-WAN capability. SSE focused rather than full SASE
- Management experience can feel disjointed from McAfee-era product integration
