To collect the logs from the client machine when you have an issue with the Netskope client connecting to the tenant, two ways that you can use are: from the Netskope client UI About page and from the command line using the nsdiag command. From the Netskope client UI About page, you can click on the “Collect Logs” button to generate a zip file containing all the relevant logs and configuration files from the client machine. You can then send this zip file to Netskope support for troubleshooting. From the command line, you can use the nsdiag command with various options to collect different types of logs and diagnostic information from the client machine. For example, you can use nsdiag -l to collect all logs, nsdiag -c to collect configuration files, nsdiag -t to collect traffic statistics, etc. You can also use nsdiag -h to see all available options and usage instructions. You can then send the output files to Netskope support for troubleshooting. References: Netskope Client Configuration overviewInstall and Test the Client - Netskope Knowledge Portal

Creating a policy group as a logical collection of Real-time Protection policies provides several benefits:

To split up policies by region or business unit: This allows for more granular control and management of policies based on organizational structure. Each region or business unit can have its own set of policies tailored to its specific needs and compliance requirements.

To simplify workflow, allowing exact access to a specific set of policies: Policy groups help streamline the management process by grouping related policies together. This simplifies the workflow for administrators by providing them with access to only the relevant policies they need to manage, reducing complexity and potential for errors.

A Netskope Virtual Appliance is a software-based appliance that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud to provide various functions and features for the Netskope Security Cloud platform. One use for deploying a Netskope Virtual Appliance is as an endpoint for Netskope Private Access (NPA), which is a service that allows users to securely access private applications without exposing them to the internet or using VPNs. Another use for deploying a Netskope Virtual Appliance is as a Secure Forwarder to steer traffic from on-premises devices or networks to the Netskope platform for inspection and policy enforcement. Using a Netskope Virtual Appliance as a local reverse-proxy to secure a SaaS application or as a log parser to discover in-use cloud applications are not valid uses, as these functions are performed by other components of the Netskope Security Cloud platform, such as the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) or the Cloud XD engine. References: Netskope Security Cloud Operation & Administration (NSCO&A) - Classroom Course, Module 2: Architecture Overview; [Netskope Private Access]; [Netskope Secure Forwarder].

Netskope's Behavior Analytics rule-based policies are designed to monitor user behavior for patterns that may indicate risky or malicious activities, such as bulk deletions. These policies can identify anomalies in user behavior that deviate from the norm, flagging potential threats and taking appropriate actions to prevent data loss.

Netskope's Behavior Analytics rule-based policies: This feature analyzes user actions and behaviors to detect anomalies and potentially malicious activities. It helps in identifying and mitigating risks associated with compromised accounts, insider threats, and other suspicious activities.

If you consume application infrastructure (middleware) capabilities by a third-party provider, then the cloud service model that you are using in this scenario is PaaS, which stands for Platform as a Service. PaaS is a cloud service model that provides customers with a platform to develop, run, and manage applications without having to deal with the underlying infrastructure or software. PaaS typically includes middleware capabilities such as databases, web servers, development tools, integration services, etc., that customers can use to build and deploy their applications faster and easier. MaaS, DaaS, and SaaS are not cloud service models that match this scenario, as they stand for different types of services. MaaS stands for Monitoring as a Service, which is a service that provides customers with tools to monitor and manage their cloud resources and performance. DaaS stands for Desktop as a Service, which is a service that provides customers with virtual desktops that they can access from any device or location. SaaS stands for Software as a Service, which is a service that provides customers with software applications that they can use over the internet without installing or maintaining them. References: [PaaS], [MaaS], [DaaS], [SaaS].

 Reverse Proxy Overview:

A reverse proxy allows users to access sanctioned cloud applications securely from public or untrusted networks.

It ensures that the traffic is inspected and policy controls are enforced before reaching the cloud application.

 Scenario Justification:

Users connecting from public computers, such as those in hotel business centers, cannot have a steering client installed, and IPsec/GRE tunnels are not feasible.

Proxy chaining requires control over the client's browser settings, which is not possible in this scenario.

A reverse proxy can handle the traffic without requiring configuration changes on the public computer.

 Implementation:

Configure the reverse proxy to handle traffic for sanctioned applications.

Ensure the reverse proxy settings are enforced via your organization's security policies.

Detailed configurations and use cases can be found in the Netskope documentation on reverse proxy solutions​​​​.

CASB inline interception use cases are scenarios where you need to apply real-time policies and actions on the traffic between users and cloud applications. For example, you may want to block file uploads to a personal Box account to prevent data leakage or exfiltration. You can use Netskope’s inline proxy mode to intercept and inspect the traffic between users and Box, and apply granular policies based on user identity, device type, app instance, file metadata, etc. You can also use Netskope’s inline proxy mode to provide user alerts when sensitive information is posted in Slack. For example, you may want to warn users when they share credit card numbers or social security numbers in Slack channels or messages. You can use Netskope’s steering client to redirect the traffic between users and Slack to Netskope’s inline proxy for inspection and enforcement. You can also use Netskope’s DLP engine to detect sensitive data patterns and apply actions such as alerting or blocking. References: Netskope Inline Proxy ModeNetskope Steering Client [Netskope DLP Engine]

 NewEdge Traffic Management:

NewEdge is Netskope's high-performance global network designed to deliver fast and secure access to the internet and cloud applications.

NewEdge Traffic Management ensures efficient routing and traffic steering for optimal performance and security.

 Client Integration:

The Netskope Client uses NewEdge Traffic Management to steer traffic securely to the Netskope cloud.

It ensures that user traffic is routed through the best possible path for performance and security.

The Client component is responsible for redirecting user traffic to the NewEdge network, applying security policies, and ensuring secure access.
