NSK200 Sample Questions 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

A reverse proxy integrated with their SSO would satisfy the requirements for this scenario. A reverse proxy intercepts requests from users to cloud apps and applies policies based on user identity, device posture, app, and data context. It can enforce DLP controls to prohibit downloading sensitive files to unmanaged devices. It can also integrate with the customer’s SSO provider to authenticate users and allow access only to the corporate instance of OneDrive.The other steering methods are not suitable for this scenario because they either require the Netskope client or do not provide granular control over cloud app activities.

The purpose of the file hash list in Netskope is to configure blocklist and allowlist entries referenced in the custom Malware Detection profiles. A file hash list is a collection of MD5 or SHA-256 hashes that represent files that you want to allow or block in your organization. You can create a file hash list when adding a file profile and use it as an allowlist or blocklist for files in your organization1. You can then select the file hash list when creating a Malware Detection profile2. 

To deploy the Netskope client to all company users on Windows laptops without user intervention, you can use either SCCM or GPO. These are two methods of packaging the application and pushing it silently to the user’s device using Microsoft tools4. These methods donot require the user to have local admin privileges or to initiate the installation themselves. They also allow enforcing the use of the client through company policy. The Netskope client can authenticate the user using Azure ADFS as the identity provider, as long as the UPN of the logged in user matches the directory5

The configuration page shown in the exhibit is used to onboard Active Directory users to a Netskope tenant. This is done by configuring the Active Directory settings in the Netskope platform and then importing the users from Active Directory. The configuration page allows you to specify the following parameters:

• Directory Service: The type of directory service that you are using, such as Active Directory or LDAP.
• Domain Name: The name of your Active Directory domain, such as example.com.
• Domain Controller: The IP address or hostname of your Active Directory domain controller, such as dc1.example.com.
• Username: The username of an account that has read access to your Active Directory, such as administrator@example.com.
• Password: The password of the account that has read access to your Active Directory.
• Base DN: The base distinguished name of the container or organizational unit that contains the users and groups that you want to import, such as OU=Users,DC=example,DC=com.
• User Filter: The LDAP filter that defines the criteria for selecting the users that you want to import, such as (objectClass=user).
• Group Filter: The LDAP filter that defines the criteria for selecting the groups that you want to import, such as (objectClass=group).

After configuring these parameters, you can click on Test Connection to verify that the connection to your Active Directory is successful. Then you can click on Import Users to start importing the users and groups from your Active Directory to your Netskope tenant.

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 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

To reduce false positives by only triggering policies when contents of your customer database are uploaded to Dropbox, you can use two methods: Upload the .csv export to the Netskope tenant DLP rules section to create an exact match hash. This is a method that allows you to upload a file containing structured data, such as a customer database, to the Netskope tenant and generate a hash of the data. The hash is then used to match the data in the cloud traffic and trigger DLP policies. This method is suitable for files that are less than 10 MB in size. To upload the file, you need to go to Policies > Data Protection > DLP Rules and click on Exact Match Hashes. Then you can select the file from your local system and upload it. Use a Netskope virtual appliance to create an exact match hash. This is a method that allows you to create a file containing structured data, such as a customer database, and upload it to the Netskope cloud using a virtual appliance. The virtual appliance encrypts the file before uploading it and generates a hash of the data. The hash is then used to match the data in the cloud traffic and trigger DLP policies. This method is suitable for files that are larger than 10 MB in size. To create the file, you need to follow a specific format and save it as a .csv file. To upload the file, you need to use the request dlp-pdd upload command on the virtual appliance CLI. The other options are not valid methods for this task. You cannot use the Netskope client to upload the .csv export to the Netskope management plane DLP container, as this is not a supported feature of the client. You cannot send the .csv export to Netskope using a supportticket with the subject, “create exact match hash”, as this is not a secure or efficient way of creating an exact match hash. References: Create an Exact Match Hash from the UI1, Create an Exact Match Hash from a Virtual Appliance2

Two reasons for the message “Disabled due to error” when hovering the mouse over the Netskope client icon are A. The client service is manually stopped and C. The client health check has failed. The client service is a background process that runs the Netskope client on the user’s device and communicates with the Netskope cloud. If the client service is manually stopped by the user or by another program, the Netskope client will be disabled and show a red dot on the icon1. The client health check is a feature that monitors the status of the Netskope client and performs self-repair actions if any issues are detected. If the client health check has failed, it means that the Netskope client has encountered a critical error that cannot be fixed automatically, such as corrupted files or registry entries. In this case, the Netskope client will be disabled and show a red dot on the icon2. Therefore, options A and C are correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Troubleshooting Netskope Client - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Client Health Check - Netskope Knowledge Portal

Netskope’s Real-time Protection policies and API Data Protection policies have different ways of applying actions based on the policy order. Real-time Protection policies are analyzed sequentially from top to bottom and stop once a policy is matched. This means that only one policy action is applied per transaction. API Data Protection policies are all enforced, regardless of sequential order. This means that multiple policy actions can be applied per file or email. Therefore, the correct statement is that all API policies are enforced, regardless of sequential order, while real-time policies are analyzed sequentially from top to bottom and stop once a policy is matched. References: Real-time Protection Policies1, API Data Protection Policies2

The best deployment method for remote and traveling users is to use a Netskope client. The Netskope client is a lightweight software agent that runs on the user’s device and steers web and cloud traffic to the Netskope cloud for real-time inspection and policy enforcement1. The Netskope client provides an always-on end user remote access experience and avoids backhauling (or hairpinning) remote users through the corporate network to access applications in public cloud environments2. The Netskope client also supports offline mode, which allows users to work offline and sync their policies when they reconnect to the internet

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 default Netskope tenant steering configuration blocks untrusted root certificates and self-signed server certificates. These settings are intended to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and ensure the validity of the SSL connection. However, they also prevent the access to the development Web server that uses self-signed SSL certificates. To allow access to the Web server, the settings need to be changed or an exception needs to be added for the Web server domain.

To allow both the user identities and groups to be imported in the Netskope platform, you can use either the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) method or the Bulk Upload with a CSV file method. Both of these methods allow for the import of user identities and groups from different identity providers (IdPs) that support SCIM or CSV formats. The SCIM method is recommended for large-scale deployments, as it automates the exchange of user identity information across apps for user provisioning. The CSV method is recommended for small-scale deployments, as it allows for manual upload of user details in a comma-separated values file. The other methods are not suitable for this requirement. The Manual Entries method does not allow for the import of groups, only user emails. The Directory Importer method does not import users and groups directly into the Netskope platform, but rather connects to an Active Directory or LDAP server and periodically fetches user and group information.

To solve the problem of providing quick, safe access to uncategorized and risky websites, the Netskope feature that the customer should use is Netskope Remote Browser Isolation (RBI). Netskope RBI is a part of the Netskope Secure Web Gateway offering that intercepts a user’s browsing session to a website, acting as a proxy that fetches the content for that user and renders the content in an isolated browsing instance. The rendered content is delivered to the user’s browser as a safe stream of pixels. This safely silos the end user’s device and the enterprise network and systems, separating it from their browsing activity and restricting the ability of an attacker to establish control and / or breach other systems and exfiltrate data1. Netskope RBI can be easily invoked with an ‘isolate’ policy action within the Netskope Security Cloud for any website category or domain2. Therefore, option B is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Remote Browser Isolation - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Netskope Remote Browser Isolation - Netskope
