Question #51
There is a DLP violation on a file in your sanctioned Google Drive instance. The file is in a deleted state. You need to locate information pertaining to this DLP violation using Netskope.
In this scenario, which statement is correct?
- A . You can find DLP violations under Forensic profiles.
- B . DLP incidents for a file are not visible when the file is deleted.
- C . You can find DLP violations under the Incidents dashboard.
- D . You must create a forensic profile so that an incident is created.
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
To locate information pertaining to a DLP violation on a file in your sanctioned Google Drive instance, you can use the Incidents dashboard in Netskope. The Incidents dashboard provides a comprehensive view of all the incidents that have occurred in your cloud environment, such as DLP violations, malware infections, anomalous activities, etc. You can filter the incidents by various criteria, such as app name, incident type, severity, user name, etc. You can also drill down into each incident to see more details, such as file name, file path, file owner, file size, file type, etc. The Incidents dashboard can show DLP violations for files that are in a deleted state, as long as they are still recoverable from the trash bin of the app. If the file is permanently deleted from the app, then the incident will not be visible in the dashboard.

Question #55
Click the Exhibit button.
A user has the Netskope Client enabled with the correct steering configuration applied. The exhibit shows an inline policy that has a predefined webmail category blocked. However the user is still able to access Yahoo mail.
Which statement is correct in this scenario?
- A . The user is not part of the correct AD group or OU.
- B . The user is not steered using an explicit proxy.
- C . The webmail category does not include Yahoo mail when using an explicit proxy
- D . The user’s AD group must be added to the policy.
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
The given exhibit shows an inline policy blocking the predefined webmail category via an explicit proxy. However, the user can still access Yahoo Mail, indicating that Yahoo Mail is not included in the webmail category when using an explicit proxy.
Policy Configuration:
The policy is set to block access to the webmail category through an explicit proxy.
The action for this policy is ‘Block’.
Understanding the Webmail Category:
Netskope’s predefined categories may not always cover all services under a category, especially when it comes to specific configurations like explicit proxy.
The webmail category in the policy might not have included Yahoo Mail when using explicit proxy configurations.
Checking the Category Definitions:
It is important to verify what URLs or services are included under the "webmail" category in the Netskope administration console.
Administrators can check the category definitions and manually add Yahoo Mail if it’s not included by default.
