NSK300 Sample Questions Answers

When configuring a Real-time Protection policy with multiple DLP profiles, if the content matches multiple profiles, the policy performs the most restrictive action associated with the DLP profiles that match for that policy. The resulting incident lists all the profiles that matched along with their corresponding forensic information. This means that even though the most restrictive action is taken, details for all matching profiles are created and included in a single DLP incident12.

To allow traffic from a website with a self-signed certificate that is being blocked by Netskope with an SSL error, the correct action is to configure a Do Not Decrypt SSL Decryption rule. This rule will allow the traffic to pass without being decrypted, thus bypassing the SSL error caused by the self-signed certificate. This is a common practice for handling traffic from trusted internal applications or specific external sites that use self-signed certificates1.

A. Import the root certificate for your internal certificate authority into Netskope:

This step ensures that Netskope recognizes and trusts SSL certificates issued by your company’s internal certificate authority. By importing the root certificate, you enable proper SSL inspection and validation for internal sites.

B. Bypass SSL inspection for the affected site(s):

Since the intranet site uses your company’s internal certificate authority, bypassing SSL inspection for this specific site allows users to access it without encountering SSL errors.

D. Change the SSL Error Settings from Block to Bypass in the Netskope tenant:

Adjusting the SSL Error Settings to “Bypass” allows users to proceed past SSL errors, including self-signed certificate errors. This ensures uninterrupted access to the intranet site. References:

To solve the problem of normal websites not rendering properly due to a Real-time Protection policy that blocks all activities to non-corporate S3 buckets, the best solution is to create a Real-time Protection policy to allow the Browse activity to the Cloud Storage category. This approach will enable users to view content from various cloud storage services, including Amazon S3, without allowing full access to non-corporate S3 buckets. It’s a more granular and less restrictive policy that allows necessary browsing activities while still maintaining control over the upload and download activities to non-corporate buckets1.

The inconsistent results observed during User Acceptance Testing (where marketing users sometimes access gambling sites and sometimes are blocked) are likely due to the configuration of the Forward Proxy.

Cookie Surrogate: The Cookie Surrogate is a mechanism used in Forward Proxy deployments to maintain user context across multiple requests. It ensures that user-specific policies are consistently applied even when multiple users share the same IP address (common in VDI environments).

Issue: If the Forward Proxy is not configured to use the Cookie Surrogate, it may lead to inconsistent behavior. When different users log into the VDI server, their requests may not be associated with their specific user context, resulting in varying policy enforcement.

Solution: Ensure that the Forward Proxy is properly configured to use the Cookie Surrogate, allowing consistent policy enforcement based on individual user identities. References:

Netskope Architectural Advantage Features

To ensure that the Netskope Client is always up-to-date with the latest upgrades, two actions are required. First, in the Client Configuration, the administrator should set the option to Upgrade Client Automatically to Latest Release. This setting ensures that the client will automatically update to the most recent version available. Second, during the original installation of the Netskope Client, the autoupdate-on flag should be set. This flag enables the auto-update feature, allowing the client to receive and apply updates as they are released.

Netskope Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) allows for the creation of custom rules using Domain Specific Language (DSL) for all three major cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, and GCP. This capability is integral to CSPM and enables organizations to tailor their security posture assessments to their specific needs across different cloud environments.

When the Netskope Client service is not running, it cannot execute the necessary processes to receive steering or client configuration updates. The service must be active to establish communication with the Netskope cloud and apply the configurations and policies defined by the administrator.

To obtain a list of aggregated users, applications, and instance IDs, especially when dealing with non-sanctioned Cloud Storage platforms, the Advanced Analytics (A) tool within Netskope would be used. Advanced Analytics provides in-depth visibility into cloud app usage and activities. It allows security teams to create detailed reports and dashboards that can help identify risks and ensure compliance with company policies by analyzing user behavior, application access, and data movement across the organization1.

To ensure that the web application using HTTPS on port 6443 is both reachable and decrypted by Netskope, the correct action is to enable “Steer non-standard ports” in the steering configuration and add the domain and port as a new non-standard port. This is because Netskope’s default configuration steers standard HTTP/HTTPS traffic, typically on ports 80 and 443. Since port 6443 is a non-standard port for HTTPS traffic, it requires explicit configuration to be steered through Netskope1.

The correct query to use in the Edit Widget window to narrow down the results is option A: “app-ccl-compliance-cert neq ‘HIPAA’ and category eq ‘Cloud Storage’”. This query filters out applications that are not HIPAA compliant and belong to the Cloud Storage category, ensuring that only non-HIPAA compliant cloud storage applications are displayed in the results. This helps in identifying and blocking such applications as per the manager’s request without affecting business or departmental applications. It aligns with Netskope’s capabilities to enforce controls and restrictions on high-risk cloud services to help address HIPAA and HITECH compliance, as well as to audit suspected violations with a full cloud and web activity trail1.
