Netskope NSK200 Netskope Certified Cloud Security Integrator (NCCSI) Exam Practice Test

To help the customer with the scenario of malware in their AWS S3 buckets, two actions that would help are B. Enable Threat Protection (Malware Scan) for all of their AWS instances to identify malware and C. Create an API protection policy to quarantine malware in their AWS S3 buckets. Threat Protection (Malware Scan) is a feature that allows you to scan files in your cloud services, such as AWS S3, for malware using Netskope’s advanced threat protection engine. You can enable Threat Protection (Malware Scan) for all of your AWS instances in the Netskope tenant by going to Settings > Cloud Services > AWS > Threat Protection and selecting the Enable Malware Scan option1. This will help you identify malware in your AWS S3 buckets and generate alerts for further action. An API protection policy is a rule that specifies the actions and notifications that Netskope applies to the data that is already resident in your cloud services, such as AWS S3, based on various criteria. You can create an API protection policy to quarantine malware in your AWS S3 buckets by going to Policies > API Protection > New Policy and selecting the AWS service, the Malware Scan data identifier, and the Quarantine action in the policy page2. This will help you isolate malware in your AWS S3 buckets and prevent it from spreading or being accessed by unauthorized users. Therefore, options B and C are correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Threat Protection (Malware Scan) - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Add a Policy for API Protection - Netskope Knowledge Portal

To investigate which of the Netskope DLP policies are creating the most incidents, the following two statements are true:

You can see the top five DLP policies triggered using the Analyze feature. The Analyze feature allows you to create custom dashboards and widgets to visualize and explore your data. You can use the DLP Policy widget to see the top five DLP policies that generated the most incidents in a given time period3.

You can create a report using Reporting or Advanced Analytics. The Reporting feature allows you to create scheduled or ad-hoc reports based on predefined templates or custom queries. You can use the DLP Incidents by Policy template to generate a report that shows the number of incidents per DLP policy4. The Advanced Analytics feature allows you to run SQL queries on your data and export the results as CSV or JSON files. You can use the DLP_INCIDENTS table to query the data by policy name and incident count5.

The other two statements are not true because:

The Skope IT Applications tab will not list the top five DLP policies. The Skope IT Applications tab shows the cloud app usage and risk summary for your organization. It does not show any information about DLP policies or incidents6.

The Skope IT Alerts tab will not list the top five DLP policies. The Skope IT Alerts tab shows the alerts generated by various policies and profiles, such as DLP, threat protection, IPS, etc. It does not show the number of incidents per policy, only the number of alerts per incident7.

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

To prevent a document stored in Google Drive from being shared externally with a public link, you need to configure an API Data Protection policy in Netskope. An API Data Protection policy allows you to discover, classify, and protect data that is already resident in your cloud services, such as Google Drive1. You can create a policy that matches the documents you want to protect based on criteria such as users, content, activity, or DLP profiles. Then, you can choose an action to prevent the documents from being shared externally, such as remove external collaborators, remove public links, or quarantine2. Therefore, option B is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: API Data Protection - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Add a Policy for API Data 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

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

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.

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

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]

The correct practice is to place high-priority rules, such as those with specific scanning actions, at the top of the Real-time Protection policy rule list. Placing the rule at the top ensures it is applied before other less restrictive rules, like those configured only for browsing activities​​.

To disable inspection for all users accessing Microsoft 365, you need to create a Do Not Decrypt SSL policy for the Microsoft 365 App Suite. This policy will prevent Netskope from decrypting and analyzing the traffic for any Microsoft 365 app, regardless of the access method (Netskope client or GRE tunnel)3. This policy will also allow SNI-based policies to apply, but no deep analysis performed via Real-time Protection policies4. Therefore, option B is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Add a Policy for SSL Decryption - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Default Microsoft appsuite SSL do not decrypt rule - Netskope Community

Integrating with EDR vendors like Crowdstrike requires an API Client ID for authentication and data sharing. A remediation profile is also necessary to define automated actions that can be taken when threats are detected, ensuring effective response to endpoint threats​​.

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 Platform API Endpoints for REST API v1 - Netskope Knowledge Portal, REST API v2 Overview - Netskope Knowledge Portal

GRE tunnels are the optimal choice in this scenario. GRE is a commonly used, non-encrypted tunneling protocol that supports a variety of device operating systems, and it offers efficient bandwidth usage without encryption overhead, which aligns with the company’s requirements​​.

The SCIMApp integration is the best choice for Azure AD as it allows for seamless user provisioning between cloud-based IdPs and Netskope. SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a standard for automating user provisioning and works effectively with cloud IdPs like Azure AD​​.

To determine proper policy ordering for Netskope Real-time Protection policies, you need to follow these two statements: B. You do not need to create an “allow all” Web Access policy at the bottom. D. You must place high-risk block policies at the top. These statements are based on the best practices for policy ordering recommended by Netskope3. An “allow all” Web Access policy at the bottom is not necessary because any traffic that does not match any policy will be allowed by default. However, you can create a “monitor all” Web Access policy at the bottom if you want to log all the traffic that is not matched by any other policy4. High-risk block policies at the top are important because they prevent any traffic that poses a serious threat or violates a critical compliance standard from reaching its destination. These policies should have higher priority than other policies that may allow or modify the traffic5. Therefore, options B and D are correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Real-time Protection Policies - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Create a Real-time Protection Policy for Web Categories - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Best Practices: Real-time Protection Policies (1 of 2) - Netskope

 A file profile is an object that contains a list of file hashes that can be used to create a malware detection profile. A file profile can be configured as an allowlist or a blocklist, depending on whether the files are known to be benign or malicious. A file profile can be created in the Settings > File Profile page1. A malware detection profile is a set of rules that define how Netskope handles malware incidents. A malware detection profile can be created in the Policies > Threat Protection > Malware Detection Profiles page2. To create a malware detection profile, one needs to select a file profile as an allowlist or a blocklist, along with the Netskope malware scan option. The other options are not objects that can be selected when creating a malware detection profile.

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

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 " 200 " response code confirms that the request was processed successfully. The request URL indicates that it was set to retrieve application event data with a limit of 5000 records. Additionally, the response includes categories such as " Professional Networking and Social, " verifying that these were part of the requested data​​.

The problem in this scenario is that the traffic matched a Do Not Decrypt policy. A Do Not Decrypt policy is a rule that specifies the traffic that you want to leave encrypted and not further analyzed by Netskope via the Real-time Protection policies1. In the exhibit, we can see that the traffic from the user to YouTube has a “Bypass Traffic” value of “yes” and a “Netskope” value of “yes”. This means that the traffic was steered to Netskope but not decrypted or inspected2. Therefore, the real-time policy that was created to restrict users from accessing YouTube content tagged as Sport did not apply, and users could still access the content. To solve this problem, you need to either remove or modify the Do Not Decrypt policy that matches the traffic to YouTube, or create an exception for the Sport category in the policy3. Therefore, option D is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Page Events - Netskope Knowledge Portal, Add a Policy for SSL Decryption - Netskope Knowledge Portal, YouTube Content Control - Netskope Knowledge Portal

If user groups cannot be pushed from the IdP into Netskope, one possible cause is that the group contains both active and deactivated users. Deactivated users in a group can create conflicts during provisioning, as Netskope expects all users in the group to be active​​.

The statement that describes a requirement for deploying a Netskope Private Application (NPA) Publisher is C. The publisher must be deployed on the network where the private application will be accessed. A NPA Publisher is a software component that enables Netskope to discover resources that users will connect to via NPA. A NPA Publisher must be deployed on the same network as the private application that it will publish, such as a public cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP) or a private data center3. This ensures that the NPA Publisher can communicate with the private application and relay its traffic to the NPA service in the Netskope cloud. Therefore, option C is correct and the other options are incorrect. References: Deploy a Publisher - 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 Custom category. 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

The corporate firewall blocking UDP port 443 to Netskope could cause tunnel establishment failures. Netskope clients rely on this port for secure tunneling (via DTLS), so ensuring UDP port 443 is open is essential for connectivity. Additionally, legacy proxies intercepting traffic could also disrupt the SSL/TLS traffic necessary for the Netskope tunnel​​.

Allowing UDP port 443 is recommended to support DTLS, which enhances performance over the Netskope tunnel. TCP port 443 must also be allowed as it is essential for secure HTTPS connections used by Netskope services​​.

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 filter for logs specifically generated by the Netskope client, select " Client " from the access_method filter dropdown menu in Skope IT. This filter allows administrators to narrow down logs by access method, making it easier to troubleshoot issues related only to the Netskope client​​.
