Netskope’s Private Access Solution is a service that allows users to securely access private applications without exposing them to the internet or using VPNs. It provides protection for private applications by encrypting the traffic, enforcing granular policies, and preventing data exfiltration. It also provides access to private applications by creating a secure tunnel between the user’s device and the application’s server, regardless of their location or network. It does not act as a cloud-based firewall, as it does not filter or block traffic based on ports or protocols. It does not require on-premises hardware, as it is a cloud-native solution that leverages Netskope’s global network of points of presence (POPs). References: [Netskope Private Access].

To obtain and export a list of all hosts including domains and IP addresses that a user accessed through Netskope Private Access for the past seven days, you can follow these steps:

Access the Netskope Web UI: Log in to your Netskope admin console.

Navigate to SkopeIT:

Go to the SkopeIT section in the Netskope admin console.

Private Apps page in SkopeIT:

In the SkopeIT section, navigate to the "Private Apps" page.

Here, you can find detailed information about the private applications accessed by users, including the domains and IP addresses.

Use the filter options to specify the user and the time range (past seven days).

Export the data as needed for your investigation.

Network Events page in SkopeIT:

In the SkopeIT section, navigate to the "Network Events" page.

This page provides a comprehensive list of network events, including details about the hosts accessed through Netskope Private Access.

Again, use the filter options to specify the user and the time range.

Export the data for reporting purposes.

These two locations within the SkopeIT section of the Netskope Web UI will provide you with the necessary data to meet your security team's requirements.

When working with traffic from applications with pinned certificates, you should add an exception to the steering configuration to bypass them. Pinned certificates are a security technique that prevents man-in-the-middle attacks by validating the server certificates against a hardcoded list of certificates in the application. If you try to intercept or inspect the traffic from such applications, they will reject the connection or display an error message. Therefore, you should add the domains used by certificate-pinned applications as exceptions in your steering configuration, so that they are not steered to Netskope for analysis and enforcement. References: Certificate Pinned ApplicationsCreating a Steering Configuration

The exhibit shows that Group A is allowed only SSH traffic, while Group B is allowed both SSH and RDP traffic. Since users in Group A need access to a third-party server using TCP port 3389 (RDP), you need to create a specific policy to allow this traffic without granting unnecessary access.

Creating an Allow policy using a custom application that includes the destination IP and TCP port 3389 will precisely target the required traffic and ensure that only the necessary connections are permitted. This method avoids broader policy changes that could introduce unnecessary access.
