Question #17
In the Skope IT interface, which two event tables would be used to label a cloud application instance? (Choose two.)
- A . Network Events
- B . Page Events
- C . Application Events
- D . Alerts
Correct Answer: B, C
B, C
Explanation:
In the Skope IT interface, which is a feature in the Netskope platform that allows you to view and analyze all the activities performed by users on cloud applications, there are two event tables that would be used to label a cloud application instance: Page Events and Application Events. Page Events are events that capture the URL and category of the web pages visited by users, as well as the time spent and the bytes transferred on each page. Application Events are events that capture the details of the actions performed by users on cloud applications, such as upload, download, share, edit, delete, etc. You can use these event tables to label a cloud application instance by applying filters based on the domain name or URL of the instance, such as drive.google.com/a/yourcompany.com or slack.com/yourteam. You can then assign a custom label to the filtered events and use it for reporting or policy enforcement. Network Events and Alerts are not event tables that would be used to label a cloud application instance, as they are more related to network traffic or policy violations, rather than cloud application activities.
