Netskope’s DLP solution is a powerful tool that can help customers protect their sensitive data from unauthorized access, exposure, or loss. One use case for Netskope’s DLP solution is to stop unintentional data movement, such as accidental uploads, downloads, or sharing of confidential files or information to or from cloud applications. Another use case for Netskope’s DLP solution is to ensure regulatory compliance, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or other industry-specific standards that require data protection and privacy measures. Netskope’s DLP solution can help customers comply with these regulations by detecting and preventing data breaches, enforcing encryption policies, applying data retention rules, and generating audit reports. Detecting malware in files before they are uploaded to a cloud application or detecting sensitive data in password protected files are not use cases for Netskope’s DLP solution, as they are more related to threat protection or file inspection capabilities. References: Netskope Security Cloud Operation & Administration (NSCO&A) - Classroom Course, Module 6: Data Loss Prevention, Lesson 1: DLP Overview.

The three technologies that describe the primary cloud service models as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). These service models are based on the type of computing capability that is provided by the cloud provider to the cloud consumer over a network. According to NIST, these service models have the following definitions:

Platform as a Service (PaaS): The capability provided to the consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created or acquired applications created using programming languages, libraries, services, and tools supported by the provider. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has control over the deployed applications and possibly configuration settings for the application-hosting environment.

Software as a Service (SaaS): The capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider’s applications running on a cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client devices through either a thin client interface, such as a web browser (e.g., web-based email), or a program interface. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration settings.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): The capability provided to the consumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications; and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls).

The portion of the interface shown in the exhibit that allows an administrator to set severity, assign ownership, track progress, and perform forensic analysis with excerpts of violating content is Incidents -> DLP. The Incidents dashboard provides a comprehensive view of all the incidents that have occurred in your cloud environment, such as DLP violations, malware infections, anomalous activities, etc. You can filter the incidents by various criteria, such as app name, incident type, severity, user name, etc. You can also drill down into each incident to see more details, such as file name, file path, file owner, file size, file type, etc. You can also assign an owner to an incident, change its status and severity, add notes or comments, and view the excerpts of the violating content that triggered the DLP policy. References: Netskope Incidents Dashboard

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the compliance standard a company should consider if both controllers and processors have legal entities in the EU. The GDPR applies to any organization that processes personal data of individuals within the EU, regardless of where the organization itself is based. This regulation imposes strict rules on data handling and provides robust protection for personal data.

GDPR is designed to protect data privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas​​​​.
