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.

Netskope provides both inline and API protection for cloud applications and web traffic. Inline protection refers to the real-time inspection and enforcement of policies on the traffic between users and cloud applications, using Netskope’s inline proxy mode. API protection refers to the retrospective inspection and enforcement of policies on the data that is already stored in cloud applications, using Netskope’s API connectors. Two functions that are available for both inline and API protection are threat protection and DLP. Threat protection is the capability to detect and block malware, ransomware, phishing, and other cyber threats that may compromise cloud data or users. DLP is the capability to detect and protect sensitive data, such as personal information, intellectual property, or regulated data, that may be exposed or leaked through cloud applications. References: Netskope Inline Proxy ModeNetskope API ProtectionNetskope Threat ProtectionNetskope DLP Engine

A file filter is a list of file hashes that you can use to exclude files from inspection by Netskope. By adding the hash of the file that triggered a false alarm to the file filter, you can prevent it from being scanned again by Netskope and avoid generating another incident. Quarantining the file, exporting the packet capture, or looking up the hash at VirusTotal are not effective ways to prevent the same file from triggering another incident, as they do not affect how Netskope handles the file. References: Netskope Security Cloud Operation & Administration (NSCO&A) - Classroom Course, Module 6: Data Loss Prevention, Lesson 2: File Filters.

Steering Configuration page under Settings (A):The Steering Configuration page under Settings is used to configure and manage the steering policies, including IPsec and GRE tunnels. This section provides the necessary tools to configure the network traffic routing and ensures that the configurations are set according to the organization's requirements.

IPsec Site and GRE Site pages under Settings (D):These specific pages under the Settings section allow administrators to monitor and manage the status of IPsec and GRE tunnels. They provide detailed information about the tunnel configurations, status, and other metrics that are essential for maintaining the health and performance of the network connections.

These details are confirmed based on the features and configurations available within the Netskope Admin UI settings, as documented in the Netskope Knowledge Portal.

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. References: Netskope Security Cloud Operation & Administration (NSCO&A) - Classroom Course, Module 5: Real-Time Policies, Lesson 1: Real-Time Policy Overview and Lesson 2: Real-Time Policy Configuration.

To deploy Netskope’s zero trust network access (ZTNA) solution, NPA, you need to enable Steer all Private Apps in your existing steering configuration(s) from the admin console. This will allow you to create private app profiles and assign them to your applications. NPA will then provide secure and granular access to your applications without exposing them to the internet or requiring VPNs. References: [Netskope Private Access (NPA) Deployment Guide]

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].

Two statements that are correct about DLP Incidents in the Netskope platform are: An incident can have one or more DLP violations and an incident can be associated to one or more DLP rules. A DLP violation occurs when a file or object matches a DLP rule used in a DLP profile. A DLP rule defines the criteria for detecting sensitive data, such as keywords, regular expressions, fingerprints, machine learning classifiers, etc. A DLP profile is a collection of DLP rules that can be applied to a policy. An incident is a record of a file or object that triggered a DLP policy violation. An incident can have multiple violations if the file or object matches multiple DLP rules from different profiles. An incident can also be associated to multiple DLP rules if the file or object matches more than one rule from the same profile. References: About DLPDLP Profiles

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].
