NSK300 Netskope Certified Cloud Security Architect Exam Questions and Answers

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.

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 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.

When a user is on-premises at the enterprise and accesses an application that is IP restricted, the source IP for traffic to this application is the Enterprise Egress IPv4 address.

The Enterprise Egress IP represents the external IP address of the enterprise network as seen by external services or applications.

This IP address is used for communication between the user’s device and external resources, including applications that are IP restricted. References:

The answer is based on general knowledge of networking concepts and how IP addresses are used in enterprise environments.

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.

In Netskope Cloud Security, to block uploads of password-protected files, you should add the file profile to a DLP (Data Loss Prevention) profile that is used in a Real-time Protection policy. The DLP profiles in Netskope are designed to detect and protect sensitive data in real-time and at rest across the cloud environment. This approach ensures that any file matching the criteria set in the file profile, such as being password-protected, will trigger the DLP rules and prevent the upload action in real-time.

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:

Network Steering in Digital Experience Management is the appropriate Netskope monitoring tool for this scenario. It allows the Network Operations Center (NOC) to quickly view the status of the tunnels and provides an easy way to visualize the locations of the tunnels. This tool is designed to give a clear overview of network health and performance, which is essential for managing global connectivity and ensuring the reliability of the service.

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.
