NSK200 Netskope Certified Cloud Security Integrator Exam Questions and Answers

To prevent PCI data from leaving the corporate sanctioned OneDrive instance, the customer can use API Data Protection and Real-time Protection. API Data Protection is a feature that allows you to discover, classify, and protect data that is already resident in your cloud services, such as OneDrive. You can create a policy that matches the PCI data based on criteria such as users, content, activity, or DLP profiles. Then, you can choose an action to prevent the PCI data from being shared or exfiltrated, such as remove external collaborators, remove public links, or quarantine3. Real-time Protection is a feature that allows you to inspect and control data in transit between your users and cloud services, such as OneDrive. You can create a policy that matches the PCI data based on criteria such as users, devices, locations, categories, or DLP profiles. Then, you can choose an action to prevent the PCI data from being uploaded or downloaded, such as block, alert, encrypt, or watermark4. Therefore, options A and D are correct and the other options are incorrect. References: API Data Protection - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Real-time 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

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

To block any screenshots from being uploaded, the engineering firm should use the ML image classifier feature of Netskope DLP. This feature uses machine learning to detect sensitive information within images, such as screenshots, whiteboards, passports, driver’s licenses, etc. The firm can create a DLP policy that blocks any image upload that matches the screenshot classifier. This will prevent employees from circumventing the DLP controls by taking screenshots of sensitive documents. References: Improved DLP Image Classifiers, Netskope Data Loss Prevention, The Importance of a Machine Learning-Based Source Code Classifier

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 provision Netskope users from Okta with SCIM Provisioning, and users are not showing up in the tenant, the two Netskope components that you should verify first in Okta for accuracy are B. OAuth token and D. SCIM server URL. The OAuth token is a credential that allows Okta to authenticate with the Netskope SCIM server and perform user provisioning operations4. The SCIM server URL is the endpoint that Okta uses to communicate with the Netskope SCIM server and send user data5. Both of these components must be configured correctly in Okta for the SCIM Provisioning to work. You can find them in the Netskope UI under Settings > Tools > Directory Tools > SCIM Integration6. Therefore, options B and D are correct and the other options are incorrect. References: SCIM-Based User Provisioning - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Netskope + Okta Use Case: Provisioning Users and Managing Groups Using SCIM - Netskope, Netskope Partner Okta - Netskope

To implement tenant access security and governance controls for privileged users, you can use the following access controls that are natively available within the Netskope Cloud Security Platform and do not require external or third-party integration:

• IP allowlisting to control access based upon source IP addresses. This allows you to specify the IP addresses that are allowed to access your Netskope tenant2. This can prevent unauthorized access from unknown or malicious sources.
• Login attempts to set the number of failed attempts before the admin user is locked out of the UI. This allows you to configure how many times an admin can enter an incorrect password before being locked out for a specified period of time3. This can prevent brute-force attacks or password guessing attempts.
• Applying predefined or custom roles to limit the admin’s access to only those functions required for their job. This allows you to assign different levels of permissions and access rights to different admins based on their roles and responsibilities4. This can enforce the principle of least privilege and reduce the risk of misuse or abuse of admin privileges. Therefore, options A, B, and C are correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Secure Tenant Configuration and Hardening - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Admin Settings - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Create Roles - 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

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 statement that describes how Netskope’s REST API, v1 and v2, handles authentication is A. Both REST API v1 and v2 require the use of tokens to make calls to the API. A token is a unique string that identifies the user or application that is making the API request. The token must be included in the HTTP header of every API call as an authorization parameter1. The token can be generated from the Netskope UI or from the Netskope Platform API2. The token can also be revoked or refreshed as needed3. Therefore, option A is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: REST API v1 Overview - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Netskope PlatformAPI Endpoints for REST API v1 - Netskope Knowledge Portal, REST API v2 Overview - Netskope Knowledge Portal

For the use case of managed Windows-based endpoints where no clients or agents can be added, you can suggest that the customer use Netskope’s Explicit Proxy. Explicit Proxy is a method for steering traffic from any device to the Netskope Cloud using a proxy server. There are two supported configurations for this use case: Endpoints can be configured to directly use the Netskope proxy by setting the proxy settings in the browser or the operating system to point to the explicit proxy destination provided by Netskope. Endpoints can be configured to use a Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file by downloading a PAC file template from Netskope and modifying it according to the customer’s needs. The PAC file can be hosted on-premises or on the cloud and distributed to the endpoints. The other options are not valid for this use case. Endpoints do not need separate steering configurations in the tenant settings, as they can use the same explicit proxy destination and port. Endpoints do not need to be configured in the device section of the tenant to interoperate with all proxies, as this is only required for reverse proxy mode. References: Explicit Proxy3, [Explicit Proxy over IPSec and GRE Tunnels]

To automate the process of updating Web policies without having to log into the Netskope tenant, you can use REST API to update the URL list. REST API is a feature that allows you to use an auth token to make authorized calls to the Netskope API and access resources via URI paths1. You can use REST API 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 addresses2. This can help you automate or script the management of your URL lists and keep them up-to-date. Therefore, option D is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: REST API v2 Overview - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Update a URL List - Netskope Knowledge Portal

To create an API token to allow a DevSecOps engineer to create and update a URL list using REST API v2, you need to provide read and write access for the “/urllist” endpoint. The “/urllist” endpoint is the API endpoint that allows you to manage URL lists in your Netskope tenant. You can use this endpoint to perform operations such as create, update, delete, or list URL lists3. To create an API token with this privilege, you need to go to Settings > Tools > REST API v2 > New Token, enter a token name and expiration time, add the “/urllist” endpoint, and select Read+Write as the privilege4. This will allow the DevSecOps engineer to use the API token in their requests to create and update URL lists. Therefore, option B is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: REST API v2 Overview - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Manage URL Lists - Netskope Knowledge Portal

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

Netskope’s REST API v2 provides access to various event types via URI paths. The event types include application, alert, infrastructure, audit, incident, network, and page. These event types can be used to retrieve data from Netskope’s cloud security platform. The event types client and user are not supported by the REST API v2. References: REST API v2 Overview, Cribl Netskope Events and Alerts Integration, REST API Events and Alerts Response Descriptions
