What are two uses for deploying a Netskope Virtual Appliance? (Choose two.)

  1. as an endpoint for Netskope Private Access (NPA)
  2. as a local reverse-proxy to secure a SaaS application
  3. as a log parser to discover in-use cloud applications
  4. as a Secure Forwarder to steer traffic

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

A Netskope Virtual Appliance is a software-based appliance that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud to provide various functions and features for the Netskope Security Cloud platform. One use for deploying a Netskope Virtual Appliance is as an endpoint for Netskope Private Access (NPA), which is a service that allows users to securely access private applications without exposing them to the internet or using VPNs. Another use for deploying a Netskope Virtual Appliance is as a Secure Forwarder to steer traffic from on-premises devices or networks to the Netskope platform for inspection and policy enforcement. Using a Netskope Virtual Appliance as a local reverse-proxy to secure a SaaS application or as a log parser to discover in-use cloud applications are not valid uses, as these functions are performed by other components of the Netskope Security Cloud platform, such as the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) or the Cloud XD engine.

You are working with a large retail chain and have concerns about their customer dat

  1. You want to protect customer credit card data so that it is never exposed in transit or at rest. In this scenario, which regulatory compliance standard should be used to govern this data?
  2. SOC 3
  3. PCI-DSS
  4. AES-256
  5. ISO 27001

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

PCI-DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, which is a set of security requirements for organizations that handle credit card data. It aims to protect cardholder data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or theft, both in transit and at rest. PCI-DSS covers various aspects of security, such as encryption, authentication, firewall, logging, monitoring, and incident response. If you are working with a large retail chain and have concerns about their customer data, you should use PCI-DSS as the regulatory compliance standard to govern this data. SOC 3, AES-256, and ISO 27001 are not specific to credit card data protection, although they may have some relevance to general security practices.

You need to block all users from uploading data files into risky collaboration applications.
Which element must you configure within Netskope's CASB to accomplish this task?

  1. DLP Rule
  2. real-time policy
  3. DLP Profile
  4. block notification

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A real-time policy is a type of policy in Netskope's CASB that allows you to control the actions that users can perform on cloud applications in real time. You can use a real-time policy to block all users from uploading data files into risky collaboration applications by specifying the following elements:
the application category (such as Collaboration), the activity (such as Upload), the file type (such as Data), the risk level (such as High or Very High), and the action (such as Block). A DLP rule, a DLP profile, and a block notification are not sufficient to accomplish this task, as they are either sub- components or outcomes of a real-time policy.

Which three security controls are offered by the Netskope Cloud platform? (Choose three.)

  1. identity lifecycle management
  2. data loss prevention for SMTP
  3. cloud security posture management
  4. endpoint anti-malware
  5. threat protection

Answer(s): B,C,E

Explanation:

Three security controls that are offered by the Netskope Cloud platform are: C. cloud security posture management, E. threat protection, and B. data loss prevention for SMTP.

Cloud security posture management is a service that provides continuous assessment and remediation of public cloud deployments for risks, threats, and compliance issues. Netskope CSPM leverages the APIs available from cloud service providers such as AWS, Azure, and GCP to scan the cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations, such as insecure permissions, open ports, unencrypted data, etc. Netskope CSPM also provides security posture policies, profiles, and rules that can be customized to match the security standards and best practices of the organization or industry.

Threat protection is a capability to detect and block malware, ransomware, phishing, and other cyber threats that may compromise cloud data or users. Netskope threat protection uses advanced techniques such as machine learning, sandboxing, threat intelligence, and behavioral analysis to identify and prevent malicious activities in real time. Netskope threat protection also integrates with third-party solutions such as antivirus engines, firewalls, SIEMs, etc., to provide comprehensive defense across the cloud and web.

Data loss prevention for SMTP is a feature that allows you to protect sensitive data that is sent or received via email. Netskope DLP for SMTP can scan email messages and attachments for predefined or custom data patterns, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, health records, etc., and apply appropriate actions, such as block, quarantine, encrypt, notify, etc., based on the DLP policies. Netskope DLP for SMTP can also support multiple email domains and routing rules for different groups of users.



You want to use an out-of-band API connection into your sanctioned Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business application to find sensitive content, enforce near real-time policy controls, and quarantine malware.

In this scenario, which primary function in the Netskope platform would you use to connect your application to Netskope?

  1. DLP forensics
  2. Risk Insights
  3. laaS API-enabled Protection
  4. SaaS API-enabled Protection

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

SaaS API-enabled Protection is a primary function in the Netskope platform that allows customers to connect their sanctioned SaaS applications to Netskope using out-of-band API connections. This enables customers to find sensitive content, enforce near real-time policy controls, and quarantine malware in their SaaS applications without affecting user experience or performance. If you want to use an out-of-band API connection into your sanctioned Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business application to achieve these goals, you should use SaaS API-enabled Protection as the primary function in the Netskope platform. DLP forensics, Risk Insights, and IaaS API-enabled Protection are not primary functions in the Netskope platform that can be used to connect your application to Netskope.
