One potential drawback of Netskope CASB is its complex setup and management for organizations with limited cloud security expertise. Due to its advanced features and granular controls, configuring policies and fully leveraging its capabilities can be time-consuming and may require a steep learning curve. Smaller teams or those without dedicated security personnel may find it challenging to optimize all of the platform's features effectively without substantial training or external assistance.
