The GAT Labs Difference: Unmatched API Access
Our solutions are built from the ground up for deep Google Workspace inspection, providing technical visibility and control that SaaS security generalists and network-centric CASB solutions simply cannot match.
– Full Stack Coverage: GAT is the only solution designed for true ‘full stack’ coverage, providing visibility into areas like Looker Studio, YouTube, and deep Gmail content that broad-based CASB/SSE integrations bypass or treat superficially.
– Chrome Endpoint Integration: GAT Shield provides a unique layer of endpoint control and real-time activity monitoring that operates inside the browser, delivering audit data completely unavailable to network-only security platforms like Netskope’s core services.
Optimize and Secure Your
Google Workspace Environment
For organizations managing data and users across Google Workspace, the difference between general cloud protection and Workspace-specific security is critical. GAT Labs goes deeper, offering purpose-built auditing, automation, and visibility designed exclusively for Google environments, where Netskope provides broader but less focused protection.

GAT Labs Feature Description
|
Netskope Corresponding Feature / Product
|
Netskope Feature Description
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
GAT+ (General Audit Tool)
|
Core Auditing, Reporting, and Visibility across Drive, Email, Calendars, Meet, Groups, Third-party Apps (OAuth), Users, YouTube, Contacts, Looker, and Classrooms. Offers deep, granular audit logs and content search.
|
Netskope Cloud Security Platform (CASB, DLP, SSPM)
|
Offers visibility and policy enforcement across cloud apps, files, and web traffic. Provides SaaS discovery and DLP policies but lacks native object-level audit logs, sharing visibility, or Drive-specific historical insights within Google Workspace.
|
|
GAT Unlock
|
Security Officer Controlled Access: Grants IT teams secure, temporary, and auditable access to user Drive and Gmail content for compliance or security investigations. Requires multi-person approval and maintains full transparency for data access.
|
No direct equivalent feature in Netskope
|
Netskope includes role-based permissions and incident response tools but does not provide a Workspace-native, approval-based workflow for viewing user content under Security Officer supervision for compliance/investigation purposes. Its access control is focused on ZTNA/policy-based access, not administrative investigation access.
|
|
GAT Flow
|
Automated Workflow Engine & Bulk Actions: Automates user lifecycle management, including onboarding, offboarding, OU changes, licence assignments, group moves, and signature updates. Includes approval flows for non-Super Admins.
|
Netskope Policy Engine & User Access Controls
|
Netskope is focused on access and data protection policies across networks and SaaS apps. It does not offer Google Workspace user lifecycle automation, approval workflows, or admin delegation capabilities that GAT Flow provides.
|
|
GAT Shield
|
Real-Time Browser Monitoring & Endpoint Security: Provides continuous monitoring of user activity within the Chrome browser, including browsing history, searches, downloads, extensions, and login events. Supports live alerts, page blocking, and 3-factor authentication.
|
Netskope Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), and Enterprise Browser
|
Netskope delivers network-level visibility and browser isolation across all web traffic. It provides real-time in-session user coaching and granular policy enforcement. Netskope also has an Enterprise Browser, but it generally does not include the Chrome-specific, user-level behavioural analytics or live in-browser controls in the same manner within the Google Workspace environment.
|
|
GAT Labs - ActiveID
|
Behavioural Biometrics: Analyses user typing style, mouse movements, and behaviour in real-time to verify identity and prevent account misuse. Complements Workspace login with continuous authentication.
|
Netskope Platform (User Behaviour Analytics, Anomaly Detection)
|
Netskope's User Behavior Analytics (UBA) detects compromised accounts, bulk data movement, and other anomalies using an ML-based User Confidence Index (UCI). This is a behavioral tool. However, it does not explicitly include the behavioural biometrics or in-session verification (e.g., keystroke/mouse movement analysis for continuous authentication)
|
|
GAT Labs - DLP
|
Workspace-level DLP that inspects file content in Gmail and Drive, identifying sensitive data (PII, PCI, etc.) and triggering alerts or actions.
|
Netskope DLP
|
Applies DLP policies across multiple SaaS, IaaS, and web channels. Broader scope but lacks Google-native scanning depth and Drive-level remediation.
|
|
GAT Labs – License Management
|
Monitors and reports on Google Workspace licence allocation, usage, and inactive accounts to optimise spending and reclaim unused licences.
|
Netskope License Tracking
|
Netskope does not offer native license management or Workspace license visibility as this is not its core security function. It focuses on application usage and risk.
|
|
GAT Labs – Third-Party App Audit
|
Detects and audits OAuth-connected apps, assigning risk scores and allowing block/allow enforcement per user, group, or OU.
|
Netskope CASB App Discovery & Risk Scoring
|
Provides general app discovery and risk analysis, but cannot revoke OAuth access directly within Workspace.
|
|
GAT Labs - Delegated Auditing
|
Enables Admins to delegate limited auditing permissions to departments like HR or Legal with full activity traceability and audit logs.
|
Netskope Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
|
Netskope supports general role-based console access (RBAC) but lacks granular, per-audit delegation or OU-specific auditing for Google Workspace that allows non-admins (like HR or Legal) to perform highly specific, limited audits.
