Netskope is the company blog at netskope.com, writing about security. Since 2013, 11 different Hacker News readers have linked it 19 times. The last post was in 2017, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Netskope's company site, linked for its product pages, blog and resources. Comments cite a post on glitch-hosted phishing, a cloud app audit page, and a solutions page on intercepting employee laptop traffic.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Netskope has an awfully big list of customers ( https://www.netskope.com/customers ) despite having a product that is absolute crap for the end users. I cannot imagine why any executive worth their salt would decide to purchase it without some form of incentive.

HN discussionThese used to be a highlight of the year, but this year's kinda falls flat. Even some of the stats are absurd: "94% of all cloud apps are not enterprise-ready per Netskope" (p190) What does that even mean? Apparently that you should pay Netskope lots of money to fix that right up for you: https://www.netskope.com/resources/netskope-cci-audit/

HN discussionSince sibling commenters asked—the abuse mainly involved a heckuva lot of phishing, last I heard; for example: https://threatpost.com/spear-phishing-exploits-glitch-steal-... https://www.netskope.com/blog/glitch-hosted-phishing-uses-te... Apparently the free ephemeral apps were (1) free, (2) easy to make and easy to make many of, and (3) hosted on infrastructure that targets tended to trust.
