Add the specific IP addresses on the IP Allow List (A):To restrict access to the Netskope Admin UI to specific IP addresses, administrators need to add these IP addresses to the IP Allow List. This ensures that only connections from these specified IP addresses are allowed access to the Admin UI. This configuration is crucial for enhancing security by limiting access to trusted IP addresses only.

Enable and set the User Notification Template to display the custom message (D):To display a custom message to admin users after they have authenticated, administrators need to enable and configure the User Notification Template. This template allows the customization of messages that are shown to users, including after login. This feature is useful for displaying privacy notices, welcome messages, or other important information to users upon successful authentication.

These steps are verified based on the configuration options available within the Netskope Admin UI settings. For more detailed steps and configuration, you can refer to the respective sections in the Netskope documentation.

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. References: Netskope Security Cloud Operation & Administration (NSCO&A) - Classroom Course, Module 2: Architecture Overview; [Netskope Private Access]; [Netskope Secure Forwarder].

 Identify Non-standard HTTPS Ports:

Determine the specific non-standard HTTPS ports used by the business application.

 Create a Steering Exception:

Navigate to the Netskope admin console.

Go to the steering configuration section and create a new steering exception.

Specify the domain of the business application and include the non-standard HTTPS ports.

This exception will ensure that traffic to this application is steered correctly for inspection and control.

 Configure Non-standard Ports in the Steering Configuration:

Go to the steering configuration settings.

Add the identified non-standard HTTPS ports to ensure that all traffic using these ports is captured and inspected.

This ensures comprehensive visibility and control over the user activities on the application.

 References:

For more details on steering configurations and managing exceptions, refer to the Netskope documentation on steering traffic and configuring non-standard ports​​​​.

If you consume application infrastructure (middleware) capabilities by a third-party provider, then the cloud service model that you are using in this scenario is PaaS, which stands for Platform as a Service. PaaS is a cloud service model that provides customers with a platform to develop, run, and manage applications without having to deal with the underlying infrastructure or software. PaaS typically includes middleware capabilities such as databases, web servers, development tools, integration services, etc., that customers can use to build and deploy their applications faster and easier. MaaS, DaaS, and SaaS are not cloud service models that match this scenario, as they stand for different types of services. MaaS stands for Monitoring as a Service, which is a service that provides customers with tools to monitor and manage their cloud resources and performance. DaaS stands for Desktop as a Service, which is a service that provides customers with virtual desktops that they can access from any device or location. SaaS stands for Software as a Service, which is a service that provides customers with software applications that they can use over the internet without installing or maintaining them. References: [PaaS], [MaaS], [DaaS], [SaaS].
