Free Practice Questions for Netskope NSK300 Exam

For a new Netskope tenant provisioned, to create a secure tenant configuration, you should consider changing the following default settings:

B. Change Untrusted Root Certificate to Block: This setting will ensure that any traffic coming from an untrusted root certificate is blocked, which is a critical security measure to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and other types of cyber threats1.

D. Change “Disallow concurrent logins by an Admin” to Enabled: This setting will prevent multiple concurrent logins by the same admin account, which is an important security control to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access.If an admin’s credentials are compromised, this setting will help limit the potential damage by ensuring that only one session can be active at a time1.

These changes are part of the recommended security hardening guidelines for Netskope tenants to enhance the overall security posture of the tenant environment.

References: The recommendations for changing default settings for a secure tenant configuration are based on Netskope’s security hardening guidelines, which provide detailed instructions on how to enhance the security of Netskope products and components deployed in customer environments1.

For devices not owned by the organization, using an explicit proxy along with the Netskope Client is the best approach to steer traffic for inspection. This method allows for granular control over the traffic, ensuring that only the traffic destined for the company’s instance of Microsoft 365 is inspected by Netskope. The explicit proxy configuration can be applied regardless of whether the users are on-premises or off-premises, providing a consistent steering mechanism for all users.

References: The steering configuration for non-owned devices and the use of explicit proxy in conjunction with the Netskope Client are detailed in the Netskope Knowledge Portal. The portal provides guidelines on how to set up steering configurations to direct traffic from end users to the Netskope Cloud for real-time analysis, which is applicable for both managed and unmanaged devices1

To allow access from company-managed devices running the Netskope Client to only Amazon S3 buckets owned by the organization, the following configuration satisfies the requirements:

Steering Configuration:

Policy Type: Real-time Protection

Constraint: Storage

Bucket Condition: Bucket Does Match -ALLAccounts

Action: Allow

By configuring the policy to allow traffic from company-managed devices (Netskope Clients) to Amazon S3 buckets, the organization ensures that only buckets owned by the organization are accessible.

The -ALLAccounts condition ensures that both existing and future buckets are allowed.

This configuration aligns with the requirement to allow access to organization-owned buckets while blocking access to other buckets.

To accomplish the task of not steering specific domains to the Netskope Cloud while using the Explicit Proxy over Tunnel (EPoT) steering method, you woulddefine exception domains in the PAC file (A).This is because the PAC file is used to specify which domains should bypass the proxy and connect directly, thus allowing for granular control over the traffic that is steered to Netskope1.

References: The use of PAC files for steering exceptions is a standard practice in proxy configurations and is supported by Netskope’s EPoT steering method as outlined in their documentation1.

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.

References: The ability to create custom rules using DSL within Netskope CSPM for AWS, Azure, and GCP is documented in the Netskope Knowledge Portal. It provides detailed instructions on how to build custom rules under Policies > Security Posture > Profiles & Rules for security assessment of resources across these cloud platforms

To obtain a list of aggregated users, applications, and instance IDs, especially when dealing with non-sanctioned Cloud Storage platforms, the Advanced Analytics (A) tool within Netskope would be used. Advanced Analytics provides in-depth visibility into cloud app usage and activities. It allows security teams to create detailed reports and dashboards that can help identify risks and ensure compliance with company policiesby analyzing user behavior, application access, and data movement across the organization1.

References: The capabilities of the Advanced Analytics tool are outlined in Netskope’s documentation and resources, which describe its use for gaining insights into cloud application usage and security posture

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 approachensures 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.

References: The information aligns with the best practices for setting up DLP profiles in Netskope as described in their documentation and resources

To provide access to a private application for the Human Resources (HR) users group only after deploying and registering an NPA publisher, you would need to:

Enable private app steering in the Steering Configuration assigned to the HR group: This ensures that only traffic from the HR user group is steered towards the private application.

Create a new private app and assign it to the HR user group: This step involves defining the private application within Netskope and specifying that only the HR user group should have access to it.

Create a new Real-time Protection policy as follows:

Source = HR user group: This specifies that the policy applies to the HR user group.

Destination = Private App: This defines the private application as the destination for the policy.

Action = Allow: This action allows the HR user group to access the private application.

By following these steps, you can ensure that only the HR user group has access to the private application, aligning with the principles of least privilege and zero trust access control.

References: The process for providing access to a private application for a specific user group is detailed in Netskope’s documentation on Private Access and Private App Management12.

The given Skope IT query specifies the following conditions:

User equals ‘user@company.com’

Access method equals ‘Client’

Activity equals ‘Download’ or ‘Upload’

Site equals ‘Amazon S3’

The query combines these conditions using logical operators (AND and OR).

The result of this query will include all events where the specified user (‘user@company.com’) is either downloading or uploading data to or from the site ‘Amazon S3’ using the Netskope Client.

It does not include events related to other users or IP addresses. References:
