Your company asks you to obtain a detailed list of all events from the last 24 hours for a specific user.
In this scenario, what are two methods to accomplish this task? (Choose two.)
- A . Use the Netskope reporting engine.
- B . Export the data from Skope IT Application Events.
- C . Use the Netskope REST API.
- D . Export the data from Skope IT Alerts.
BC
Explanation:
In this scenario, there are two methods to obtain a detailed list of all events from the last 24 hours for a specific user. One method is to export the data from Skope IT Application Events, which is a feature in the Netskope platform that allows you to view and analyze all the activities performed by users on cloud applications. You can use filters to narrow down your search by user name, time range, application, activity, and other criteria. You can then export the data to a CSV or JSON file for further analysis or reporting. Another method is to use the Netskope REST API, which is a programmatic interface that allows you to access and manipulate data from the Netskope platform using HTTP requests. You can use the API to query for events by user name, time range, application, activity, and other parameters. You can then retrieve the data in JSON format for further analysis or integration with other tools. Using the Netskope reporting engine or exporting the data from Skope IT Alerts are not methods to obtain a detailed list of all events from the last 24 hours for a specific user, as they are more suited for generating summary reports or alerts based on predefined criteria or thresholds, rather than granular event data.

- D . to replace dedicated MPLS connections with multiple broadband WAN and mobile options
B, D
Explanation:
SD-WAN technology is used in the following scenarios:
To optimize utilization and performance across multiple Internet connections: SD-WAN allows organizations to aggregate multiple Internet connections and optimize traffic flow based on application requirements and network conditions. This improves overall network performance and ensures efficient use of available bandwidth.
To replace dedicated MPLS connections with multiple broadband WAN and mobile options:
SD-WAN provides the flexibility to use a mix of broadband, LTE, and other connectivity options to replace traditional MPLS circuits. This can significantly reduce costs and improve agility in network deployment and management.

Click the Exhibit button.

What are two use cases where the parameter shown in the exhibit is required? (Choose two.)
- A . When you create a policy to prevent file transfer between a sanctioned Google Drive and personal Google Drive.
- B . When you share the JoC between a third-party security solution and the Threat Protection Profile.
- C . When you create a policy to prevent binary files larger than 5 MB that are shared publicly on a sanctioned OneDrive.
- D . When you share Incident details about files detected in a DLP incident.
A, C
Explanation:
The parameter shown in the exhibit (File Profile) is crucial in policies where file type, size, and other attributes need to be specified.
Here are two use cases where this parameter is required:
When you create a policy to prevent file transfer between a sanctioned Google Drive and personal
Google Drive:
In this use case, the File Profile is used to define the types of files that are not allowed
to be transferred between different Google Drive instances. By specifying the file types in the policy, administrators can ensure that sensitive corporate data is not transferred to personal accounts.
Implementation: Create a new File Profile with the desired file types and apply this profile in the policy that governs the data transfer rules between sanctioned and personal Google Drive instances.
When you create a policy to prevent binary files larger than 5 MB that are shared publicly on a sanctioned OneDrive:
This use case involves creating a policy that restricts the sharing of large binary files (e.g., executable files) on publicly accessible folders in OneDrive. The File Profile parameter allows defining the file size and type criteria.
Implementation: Define a File Profile that specifies binary files and sets a size limit (e.g., 5 MB). Apply this profile in the policy to prevent such files from being shared publicly.

You are setting up a real-time threat protection policy for patient zero to block previously unseen files until a benign verdict is produced by the Netskope Threat Protection Service.
In this scenario, which two policy parameters must you configure? (Choose two)
- A . block action
- B . CCL destination criterion
- C . file type activity constraint
- D . remediation profile
AD
Explanation:
To set up a real-time threat protection policy for patient zero to block previously unseen files until a benign verdict is produced by the Netskope Threat Protection Service, you need to configure the following parameters:
Block Action: This action ensures that any previously unseen file is blocked until it has been analyzed and a verdict has been reached. By blocking the file, the policy prevents potential threats from entering the network until they are deemed safe.
Remediation Profile: This profile defines the actions to be taken when a threat is detected. It includes configuring the alerts and responses (such as notifying administrators) when a file is blocked. This ensures that there is a process in place for handling detected threats and that appropriate measures are taken.
