# What cloud edge security tools are best for companies moving workloads from on-premise to multi-cloud that need security controls to follow the data?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Moving workloads to multiple clouds shifts the security question from where the perimeter sits to whether controls travel with the data itself, so these picks emphasize data-centric enforcement across environments. The top tools from the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-edge-security">Cloud Edge Security</a> category that stood out to me include Prisma Access, Forcepoint Data Security Cloud, Cato SASE Cloud, and Netskope One Platform.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/prisma-access/reviews"><strong>Prisma Access</strong></a> is credited by reviewers with applying one policy framework across users, sites, and cloud-hosted apps, which reviewers say kept protection consistent as they moved traffic off the data center. Reviewers note integration with existing infrastructure can take planning during the shift.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/forcepoint-data-security-cloud/reviews"><strong>Forcepoint Data Security Cloud</strong></a> is built around data-centric controls, and reviewers value unified DLP and CASB that protect sensitive files across endpoints, web, SaaS, and IaaS through endpoint, inline proxy, and API connectors. Reviewers point to pricing and policy tuning as areas that take time to get right.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cato-networks-cato-sase-cloud/reviews"><strong>Cato SASE Cloud</strong></a> is praised for consistent, single-pass inspection everywhere on its private backbone, which reviewers say holds enforcement steady as workloads and sites change. Reviewers mention it lacks some advanced controls like full DLP and web application firewall.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/netskope-one-platform/reviews"><strong>Netskope One Platform</strong></a> is described by reviewers as strong at cloud and SaaS visibility, with granular DLP that follows data movement and blocks uploads to unsanctioned services across clouds. Reviewers note it is pricier than some rivals and best justified when it replaces several tools.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">As your data lands in more clouds, is your bigger gap visibility into where it goes or enforcement once it moves? And has anyone paired a data-security layer with a separate access layer here?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;For the actual question being asked here, Netskope&#39;s DLP following the data itself as it moves between clouds, rather than just watching the connection, is what I&#39;d want most. Blocking an upload to an unsanctioned service is a more direct answer to where the data goes than a consistent policy at the network layer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 2

&lt;p&gt;On visibility versus enforcement, I&#39;d argue visibility has to come first, and not merely as a sequencing preference. Enforcement is only ever as good as your classification, and a classifier that&#39;s wrong in either direction gives you one of two outcomes: sensitive data moving because nothing flagged it, or people unable to do their jobs because everything is flagged, and the second gets the policy switched off within a fortnight. So the real project underneath all of this is classification accuracy, which is what makes the Forcepoint reviewers noting that policy tuning takes time the most honest line in the post. You&#39;re buying the tooling to do the classification work, and enforcement is what you turn on once that&#39;s trustworthy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enforcement once the data moves would be the bigger gap for me. Visibility tells you what happened, but the real value is having DLP and access policies stay consistent across SaaS, IaaS, endpoints, and multiple cloud providers without rebuilding them in each environment.&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 4

Looking at these four, I think there&#39;s a split worth calling out: Prisma Access and Cato keep policy and inspection consistent as workloads move, but that&#39;s really about the connection staying uniform, not the data itself being tracked. Forcepoint and Netskope are the two that actually watch the file or data object as it moves between clouds, which is closer to what the question is asking for. Cato admits as much itself, since reviewers note it still lacks full DLP.

That makes me think most teams end up stacking a connection-consistency layer with a real DLP layer rather than getting both from one platform, which brings back some of the tool sprawl the multi-cloud move was supposed to reduce in the first place.
