NSK200 Netskope Certified Cloud Security Integrator (NCCSI) Questions and Answers

To monitor the activities that users perform on a homegrown cloud application, you need to create a new cloud application definition using the Chrome extension. The Chrome extension is a tool that allows you to record the traffic and activities of any web-based application and create a custom app definition that can be imported into your Netskope tenant1. This way, you can enable Netskope to detect and analyze the activities of your homegrown cloud application and apply policies accordingly. Therefore, option D is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Creating a Cloud App Definition - Netskope Knowledge Portal

To create a report to view the top five categories of unsanctioned applications accessed in the last 90 days, the security analyst would need to use two data collections in Advanced Analytics: Application Events and Network Events. Application Events provide information about the cloud applications and websites accessed by users, such as app name, app category, app risk score, app instance, app version, and more. Network Events provide information about the network traffic generated by users, such as source IP, destination IP, protocol, port, bytes sent, bytes received, and more. By combining these two data collections, the security analyst can filter the events by app category, app risk score, and time range to create a report that shows the top five categories of unsanctioned applications accessed in the last 90 days. Alerts and Page Events are not relevant for this report. Alerts provide information about the alerts triggered by Real-time Protection or API Data Protection policies, such as alert type, alert severity, alert status, alert description, and more. Page Events provide information about the web pages visited by users, such as page title, page URL, page category, page risk score, page content type, and more. References: Advanced Analytics

The problem is B. The Active Directory user is not synchronized to the Netskope tenant. This is evident from the log message “WARNING No mail ID for the user: Clarke, Daxmeifield, DC=local, skipping use”. This means that the user Clarke does not have a valid email address in the Active Directory, which is required for the Netskope client to work. The Netskope client uses the email address of the user to authenticate and enable the client. Therefore, option B is correct and the other options are incorrect.

The Directory Importer is a component of the Netskope Adapters that connects to the domain controller and periodically fetches user and group information to post that info to your tenant instance in the Netskope cloud1. If you are having issues with this process, the first thing you should investigate is the Directory Importer itself. You can check the status of the Directory Importer service, the configuration file, the logs, and the connectivity to the domain controller and the Netskope cloud2. Therefore, option B is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Configure Directory Importer - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Troubleshooting Directory Importer - Netskope Knowledge Portal

The Netskope client can be disabled by the administrator from the Netskope console. This is useful for troubleshooting or maintenance purposes. When the client is disabled by the administrator, it shows the status as “Admin Disabled” and does not apply any policies or steer any traffic. The user cannot enable the client unless the administrator enables it from the console. The other options are not valid reasons for the client to be in an “Admin Disabled” state. References: Netskope Client Status 1, Enable or Disable Netskope Client 2

The method that would confirm the fail close status is B. Review the nsdebuglog.log. The nsdebuglog.log is a log file that contains information about the Netskope client’s status, configuration, events, errors, etc. You can review the nsdebuglog.log file to confirm the fail close status by looking for a line that says “failCloseStatus”:“1”. This indicates that the fail close option is enabled for the Netskope client4. The fail close option is a feature that allows you to block all web traffic when the Netskope client fails or loses connection to the Netskope cloud5. Therefore, option B is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Troubleshooting Netskope Client - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Client Configuration - Netskope Knowledge Portal

When a policy flags a file to be quarantined, that file is placed in a quarantine folder and a tombstone file is put in the original location in its place. The quarantine folder is located in the Netskope data center assigned in the Quarantine profile. The Quarantine profile is configured in Settings > Threat Protection > API-enabled Protection. The quarantined file is zipped and protected with a password to prevent users from inadvertently downloading the file. Netskope then notifies the admin specified in the profile1. Therefore, option B is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Quarantine - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Threat Protection - Netskope Knowledge Portal

The method that makes it possible for a mass update of the URL list in the Netskope platform is A. REST API v2. REST API v2 is a feature that allows you to use an auth token to make authorized calls to the Netskope API and access resources via URI paths5. You can use REST API v2 to update a URL list with new values by providing the name of an existing URL list and a comma-separated list of URLs or IP addresses6. This can help you automate or script the management of your URL lists and keep them up-to-date. Therefore, option A is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: REST API v2 Overview - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Update a URL List - Netskope Knowledge Portal

To prevent traffic from the sales team to a custom Web application from being inspected by Netskope, you need to create a Do Not Decrypt Policy using User Group and Domain in the policy page. A Do Not Decrypt Policy allows you to specify the traffic you want to leave encrypted and not further analyzed by Netskope via the Real-time Protection policies3. You can use the User Group criteria to match the sales team members and the Domain criteria to match the custom Web application. This way, only the traffic from the sales team to the custom Web application will be exempted from decryption, while all other traffic to the Web application will continue to be inspected. 

To implement role-based access control when integrating Netskope tenant administration with an external identity provider (IdP), two statements that are true about this scenario are A. The roles you want to assign must be present in the Netskope tenant and C. You need to define the administrators locally in the Netskope tenant. Role-based access control (RBAC) is a feature that allows you to assign different levels of permissions and access to the Netskope tenant based on the user’s role. You can use RBAC to integrate Netskope tenant administration with an external IdP such as Azure AD or Okta and delegate administrative tasks to different users or groups1. To do this, you need to ensure that the roles you want to assign are present in the Netskope tenant. You can use the predefined roles such as SYSADMIN, AUDITOR, or OPERATOR, or create custom roles with specific privileges2. You also need to define the administrators locally in the Netskope tenant by creating local user accounts and assigning them roles. You can use the same email address as the IdP user account for the local useraccount3. Therefore, options A and C are correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Role-Based Access Control - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Roles - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Integrate with Azure AD - Netskope Knowledge Portal

To deploy Netskope using proxy chaining with Symantec BlueCoat proxy on-premises, you need to enable two prerequisites first: Enable SSL decryption on your Symantec BlueCoat proxy. This is required for proxy chaining because Netskope needs to inspect the SSL traffic that is sent from your proxy to the Netskope cloud. To enable SSL decryption, you need to configure your Symantec BlueCoat proxy to trust the Netskope certificate for SSL interception. You can download the certificate from Settings > Manage > Certificates > Signing CA in the Netskope UI. Enable the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header on your Symantec BlueCoat proxy. This is required for proxy chaining because Netskope needs to identify the original source IP address of the user behind your proxy. The X-Forwarded-For header is used to pass this information from your proxy to Netskope. To enable this header, you need to configure your Symantec BlueCoat proxy to send X-Forwarded-For HTTP header for all HTTP requests. The other options are not valid prerequisites for this scenario. You do not need to disable SSL decryption on your Symantec BlueCoat proxy, as this would prevent Netskope from inspecting the SSL traffic. You do not need to disable the X-Authenticated-User header on your Symantec BlueCoat proxy, as this is an optional header that can be used to pass additional user information from your proxy to Netskope. References: Proxy Chaining3, Configure Forcepoint for Proxy Chaining

To create a DLP profile that will ensure that the data shown in the exhibit cannot be uploaded to a user’s personal Google Drive, you need to use optical character recognition (OCR). OCR is a feature that allows you to detect and extract text from images and scanned documents. You can use OCR in your DLP profiles to identify sensitive data that is embedded or hidden in images1. In the exhibit, we can see that the data is a credit card number, which is a type of sensitive data that can be easily identified by OCR. You can create a DLP profile that uses OCR and matches the credit card number data identifier or a custom regex expression. You can then apply an action such as block, alert, or quarantine to prevent the data from being uploaded to Google Drive2. Therefore, option C is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Add a Policy for Data Protection - Netskope Knowledge Portal

There are two possible scenarios that would cause the behavior of files containing test data for credit cards not triggering DLP events when uploaded to Dropbox. One scenario is that the DLP rule has the severity threshold set to a value higher than the number of occurrences. This means that the rule will only trigger an event if the number of matches for the sensitive data exceeds the specified threshold. For example, if the rule has a severity threshold of 10 and the file contains only 5 credit card numbers, then no event will be generated. To fix this, you can lower the severity threshold or remove it altogether. The other scenario is that the credit card numbers in your test data are invalid 16-digit numbers. This means that the numbers do not pass the Luhn algorithm check, which is a validation method used by Netskope DLP to detectvalid credit card numbers. For example, if the number is 1234-5678-9012-3456, then it is not a valid credit card number and will not be detected by Netskope DLP. To fix this, you can use valid test credit card numbers that pass the Luhn algorithm check. The other options are not valid scenarios for this behavior. The Netskope client is not steering Dropbox traffic is not a valid scenario because there are corresponding page events, which means that the traffic is being steered to Netskope. There is no API protection configured for Dropbox is not a valid scenario because API protection is not required for DLP detection on file uploads, which are handled by real-time protection. References: DLP Rule Settings1, Credit Card Number Detection2

In order to create a custom URL category to apply a secure Web gateway policy combining your own list of URLs and Netskope predefined categories, you must add the URL list to a Customcategory. This is because Netskope allows you to create custom categories that can be used in policies to block or allow access to specific URLs. You can also include or exclude predefined categories and other URL lists in your custom category. To create a custom category, you need to go to Policies > Web > Custom Categories and click New Custom Category. Then you can select the predefined categories and URL lists that you want to include or exclude in your custom category. You also need to give your custom category a name and save it. After creating a custom category, you can apply it to a Real-time Protection policy by selecting it from the Categories dropdown. The other options are not valid tasks for creating a custom URL category. You do not need to add the URL list to the Client configuration, as this is only required for client-side steering methods. You do not need to add the URL list to a Steering configuration, as this is only required for network-side steering methods. You do not need to add the URL list to a Real-time Protection policy directly, as this will not allow you to combine it with predefined categories. References: Custom Category3, Create Custom Categories

In order to restrict users from logging into their personal Google accounts, the policy should include a user constraint. This will ensure that only users with corporate accounts can access the corporate collaboration suite. The user constraint can be added by selecting the “User” option in the “Source” field and then choosing the appropriate user group or identity provider. The other options are not relevant for this scenario. References: [Creating a Policy to Block Personal Google Services], [Policy Creation], [User Constraint]
