Netskope routes every consultant's traffic through its cloud-proxy data centers, which can add latency, cost and complexity for teams working from client sites, hotels and home offices. Where Netskope still fits, and when an endpoint SWG like dope.security, which follows the user, is the better match.

DNS-layer filtering like Cisco Umbrella's resolves a hostname but cannot see which SaaS tenant the user is signing into, so it cannot separate personal accounts from corporate ones on the same domain. Where Umbrella still fits, and how an endpoint SWG with Cloud Application Control like dope.security handles the tenant layer.

DNS filtering blocks domains, not what is inside them. In 2026, the AI, DLP, and HTTPS-payload visibility buyers need sits above DNS. Where endpoint SWG fits, and where DNS still matters.

A practical 30-day playbook for migrating off Cisco Umbrella to dope.security's on-device SWG. Stages, MDM steps, policy parity, and a cutover checklist.

Cisco Umbrella SIG adds TLS inspection but only by backhauling traffic through a Cisco data center. Here is what it still misses, and the on-device alternative.

Forcepoint's DLP heritage is real, but the ONE backhaul architecture and tier sprawl hurt fast-growing fintechs. The dope.security on-device alternative.
