Question #111
Which two cloud security and infrastructure enablement technologies does Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) combine into its unified platform? (Choose two.)
- A . Distributed Denial of Service Protection (DDoS)
- B . Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
- C . Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
- D . Unified Threat Management (UTM)
Correct Answer: BC
BC
Explanation:
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a cloud-based architecture that combines various cloud security and infrastructure enablement technologies into a unified platform that delivers security and networking services from the edge of the network. Two of these technologies are Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB). ZTNA is a technology that provides secure access to private applications without exposing them to the internet or using VPNs. It uses identity-based policies and encryption to grant granular access to authorized users and devices, regardless of their location or network. CASB is a technology that provides visibility and control over cloud applications (SaaS) used by users and devices. It uses API connections or inline proxies to inspect and enforce policies on data and activities in cloud applications, such as data loss prevention, threat protection, or compliance. Distributed Denial of Service Protection (DDoS) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) are not technologies that SASE combines into its unified platform, although they may be related or integrated with some of its components.

Question #112
You determine that a business application uses non-standard HTTPS ports. You want to steer all HTTPS traffic for this application and have visibility and control over user activities.
Which action will allow you to accomplish this task?
- A . Create a steering exception for the application’s domain and ports.
- B . Define a Private Agg for the application’s domain and ports.
- C . Configure Non-standard ports in the Steering Configuration.
- D . Select All Traffic in the Steering Configuration.
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
Identify Non-standard HTTPS Ports:
Determine the specific non-standard HTTPS ports used by the business application.
Create a Steering Exception:

Question #113
You want to take into account some recent adjustments to CCI scoring that were made in your Netskope tenant.
In this scenario, which two CCI attributes in the Ul would be used in a Real-time Protection policy? (Choose two.)
- A . Domains
- B . App Tag
- C . CCL Level
- D . GDPR Readiness
Correct Answer: BC
BC
Explanation:
When adjusting Cloud Confidence Index (CCI) scoring in your Netskope tenant, you can use the following two CCI attributes in a Real-time Protection policy:
App Tag:
App Tags are used to categorize and tag applications based on their functionality, risk level, or compliance requirements. By using App Tags in Real-time Protection policies, you can enforce security measures and monitor activities based on the specific tags assigned to applications.
CCL Level:
CCL (Cloud Confidence Level) is a score assigned to cloud applications based on their risk profile and compliance with security standards. By incorporating CCL Level into your Real-time Protection policies, you can ensure that actions are taken based on the risk level of the applications, such as blocking or monitoring high-risk applications.

Question #114
Which networking function does a SASE solution provide above and beyond an SSE solution?
- A . Secure Web Gateway
- B . Cloud Access Security Broker
- C . Data Loss Prevention
- D . Software Defined Wide Area Network
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
A SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution provides networking functions that go beyond the capabilities of an SSE (Security Service Edge) solution.
Specifically, a SASE solution integrates:
Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN): SD-WAN enhances network performance and efficiency by dynamically routing traffic across the best available paths. It provides greater flexibility, improved application performance, and reduced costs compared to traditional WAN solutions.
In contrast, SSE focuses on security services like Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, and Data Loss Prevention, but does not include networking functions such as SD-WAN.

Question #117
You want to block access to sites that use self-signed certificates.
Which statement is true in this scenario?
- A . Certificate-related settings apply globally to the entire customer tenant.
- B . Certificate-related settings apply to each individual steering configuration level.
- C . Certificate-related settings apply to each individual client configuration level.
- D . Self-signed certificates must be changed to a publicly trusted CA signed certificate.
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
The statement that is true in this scenario is: Certificate-related settings apply to each individual steering configuration level. Certificate-related settings are the options that allow you to configure how Netskope handles SSL/TLS certificates for encrypted web traffic. For example, you can choose whether to allow or block self-signed certificates, expired certificates, revoked certificates, etc. You can also choose whether to enable SSL decryption for specific domains or categories. Certificate-related settings apply to each individual steering configuration level, which means that you can have different settings for different types of traffic or devices. For example, you can have one steering configuration for managed devices and another one for unmanaged devices, and apply different certificate-related settings for each one. This allows you to customize your security policies based on your needs and preferences.

Question #119
Your customer has cloud storage repositories containing sensitive files of their partners, including bank statements, consulting, and disclosure agreements.
In this scenario, which feature would help them control the flow of these types of documents?
- A . ZTNA
- B . Netskope Advanced Analytics
- C . DLP document classifiers
- D . Sandboxing
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) document classifiers are designed to identify and control the flow of sensitive information based on predefined patterns and criteria. In this scenario, where the customer has cloud storage repositories containing sensitive files such as bank statements, consulting agreements, and disclosure agreements, DLP document classifiers can help:
Identify sensitive documents: By scanning and classifying documents based on their content, DLP document classifiers ensure that sensitive files are recognized and handled appropriately.
Control data flow: Policies can be applied to prevent unauthorized access, sharing, or movement of sensitive files, thereby protecting the data from leakage or exposure.

Question #120
You need to block all users from uploading data files into risky collaboration applications.
Which element must you configure within Netskope’s CASB to accomplish this task?
- A . DLP Rule
- B . real-time policy
- C . DLP Profile
- D . block notification
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
A real-time policy is a type of policy in Netskope’s CASB that allows you to control the actions that users can perform on cloud applications in real time. You can use a real-time policy to block all users from uploading data files into risky collaboration applications by specifying the following elements: the application category (such as Collaboration), the activity (such as Upload), the file type (such as Data), the risk level (such as High or Very High), and the action (such as Block). A DLP rule, a DLP profile, and a block notification are not sufficient to accomplish this task, as they are either sub-components or outcomes of a real-time policy.
