Netskope NSK300 - Netskope Certified Cloud Security Architect Exam

The reason for using Netskope Cloud Risk Exchange in this scenario is to automate service tickets from alerts of interest. Netskope Cloud Risk Exchange (CRE) is designed to ingest user, device, and application risk scores, creating a dashboard view of contributors to your company’s overall risk score and trend. One of the key functionalities of CRE is to trigger risk-reducing actions through business rules that are tuned to a weighted score. Automating service tickets from alerts of interest is a part of this functionality, as it allows for the automatic creation of tickets in response to specific alerts, streamlining the process of addressing potential security issues12.

 To enable the Netskope Client to automatically determine whether it is on-premises or off-premises, you can use the following options in the Netskope UI:

Enable Dynamic Steering:

This option is available in the Steering Configuration section of the UI.

By enabling dynamic steering, the Netskope Client can intelligently determine the appropriate data plane (on-premises or cloud) based on the user’s location and network conditions.

It ensures that traffic is directed to the optimal data plane for improved performance and security.

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.

When merging two Advanced Analytics reports in Netskope, if the merged report is missing rows, it is likely due to viewing limits within the system. Netskope’s Advanced Analytics platform has limitations on the number of rows that can be viewed at once, which can result in missing data when dealing with large reports. This viewing limit ensures performance and manageability of the data within the system.

When deploying Netskope and steering all traffic, if you find that the Real-time Protection policies for Microsoft OneDrive are not being enforced, the likely issue is with the default steering exceptions. To resolve this, you should remove the default steering exception for domains ©. This is because the default exceptions may include domains related to Microsoft services, which could prevent the Real-time Protection policies from being applied to traffic directed towards OneDrive. By removing these exceptions, you ensure that all traffic, including that to OneDrive, is subject to the policies you have set up.

The reason for the activity being NULL in this scenario is likely because a user accessed a static Web page. In Netskope’s Advanced Analytics, when the activity is reported as NULL, it often indicates that there was no dynamic interaction or transaction to record, which is typical when a static web page is accessed1. Static web pages do not generate the kind of events or activities that are tracked by policies, hence they appear as NULL in the activity field.
