NSK101 Exam Dumps - Netskope NCCSA Questions and Answers

In this scenario, policy B is more restrictive than policy A, as it blocks users from downloading files from any OS other than Mac or Windows for cloud storage, while policy A only generates alerts when any user downloads, uploads, or shares files on a cloud storage application. Therefore, policy B should be implemented before policy A, as the policy order determines the order of evaluation and enforcement of the policies. If policy A is implemented before policy B, then policy B will never be triggered, as policy A will match all the download activities for cloud storage and generate alerts. The policy order is important; policies are not independent of each other, as they may have overlapping or conflicting conditions and actions. These two policies would actually work together, as long as they are ordered correctly. References: Netskope Security Cloud Operation & Administration (NSCO&A) - Classroom Course, Module 5: Real-Time Policies, Lesson 3: Policy Order.

In a CASB-only deployment of Netskope, there could be several reasons why Dropbox.com traffic is not visible in SkopeIT:

Certificate Pinning:

The Dropbox Web application might be using certificate pinning, which means it only accepts specific certificates for its connections. This can prevent the traffic from being steered to the Netskope tenant because the proxy's certificate might not match the pinned certificate​​​​.

Configuration of Dropbox Domains:

If the Dropbox domains are not properly configured to be steered to the Netskope tenant, then the traffic will bypass the Netskope inspection and will not be visible in SkopeIT. Ensuring that the domains are configured correctly is essential for the traffic to be captured and analyzed by Netskope​​​​.

References:

"Certificate pinning prevents the interception of traffic by requiring that the presented certificate matches a known good certificate. This can interfere with traffic steering in CASB deployments."​​​​.

"Proper configuration of application domains is necessary to ensure traffic is steered to the Netskope tenant for inspection and visibility."​​​​.

The exhibit displays rules related to detecting compromised accounts, data exfiltration, and malicious insiders. These types of activities are typically analyzed and detected through user behavior analytics, which involves monitoring and analyzing the behavior of users to identify anomalies that may indicate security incidents or threats.

Behavior Analytics is a component of the Netskope platform that focuses on identifying potential security risks based on user behavior. This includes monitoring for compromised accounts, data exfiltration, and identifying malicious insiders. These analytics help in proactively identifying and mitigating threats by analyzing patterns and anomalies in user activities.

The exhibit showing rules related to compromised accounts, data exfiltration, and malicious insiders aligns with the capabilities provided by Behavior Analytics.

Documentation from the Netskope Knowledge Portal on the behavior analytics capabilities supports this identification.

 Adaptive Zero Trust Data Protection Overview:

Netskope's Adaptive Zero Trust Data Protection ensures that data is protected based on continuous risk assessments and adaptive policies that respond to changing contexts and threats.

 Contextual Risk Awareness:

This capability involves understanding the context around data access and usage to assess risk dynamically.

Netskope leverages various signals such as user behavior, device security posture, location, and other factors to gauge risk levels.

By continuously evaluating these factors, Netskope can enforce appropriate security measures in real-time.

 Continuous Adaptive Policies:

Policies in the Netskope platform adapt continuously based on the assessed risk and changing contexts.

These policies are not static; they evolve based on ongoing risk assessments and threat intelligence.

Adaptive policies ensure that security measures are always aligned with the current threat landscape and organizational requirements.

To determine which data plane a user is traversing, an administrator can use the following methods:

Settings -> Security Cloud Platform -> Client Configuration: This section provides details about the client configurations and the data planes assigned to different users or groups. By reviewing the client configuration, administrators can determine the data plane a user is connected to.

SkopeIT -> Alerts -> View Details: In the SkopeIT alerts, administrators can view detailed information about user activities, including the data plane through which the user traffic is being routed. This provides real-time insights into the user's path through the Netskope infrastructure.

When adding a new tenant administrator in the Admins page, you can enhance the security for the new account by enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring the administrator to provide a second form of verification in addition to the password, thus protecting against unauthorized access.

Security best practices guides from Netskope, emphasizing the importance of MFA for enhanced account security.

Two primary advantages of Netskope’s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture are: no on-premises hardware required for policy enforcement and single management console. Netskope’s SASE architecture delivers network and security services as cloud-based services that can be accessed from any location and device. This eliminates the need for on-premises hardware appliances such as firewalls, proxies, VPNs, etc., that are costly to maintain and scale. Netskope’s SASE architecture also provides a single management console that allows administrators to configure and monitor all the network and security services from one place. This simplifies IT operations and reduces complexity and overhead. References: Netskope SASEWhat is SASE?

 TLS/SSL Inspection:

Cloud security solutions achieve visibility into TLS/SSL-protected web traffic through a process known as TLS/SSL interception or inspection.

 How It Works:

The security solution acts as an intermediary (man-in-the-middle) during the TLS handshake.

When a user initiates a connection to a TLS/SSL-protected website, the security solution intercepts this connection.

It completes the TLS handshake with the user's device using its own certificate, and simultaneously performs the handshake with the destination website.

 Certificate Replacement:

The security solution decrypts the traffic, inspects it, and then re-encrypts it before forwarding it to the destination website.

The user’s browser trusts the security solution’s certificate, which replaces the original website's certificate.

 Security Implications:

This method allows the security solution to inspect encrypted traffic for threats or policy violations while maintaining secure communication.
