Question #21
Your customer has some managed Windows-based endpoints where they cannot add any clients or agents. For their users to have secure access to their SaaS application, you suggest that the customer use Netskope’s Explicit Proxy.
Which two configurations are supported for this use case? (Choose two.)
- A . Endpoints can be configured to directly use the Netskope proxy.
- B . Endpoints must have separate steering configurations in the tenant settings.
- C . Endpoints must be configured in the device section of the tenant to interoperate with all proxies.
- D . Endpoints can be configured to use a Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file.
Correct Answer: AD
AD
Explanation:
For the use case of managed Windows-based endpoints where no clients or agents can be added, you can suggest that the customer use Netskope’s Explicit Proxy. Explicit Proxy is a method for steering traffic from any device to the Netskope Cloud using a proxy server. There are two supported configurations for this use case: Endpoints can be configured to directly use the Netskope proxy by setting the proxy settings in the browser or the operating system to point to the explicit proxy destination provided by Netskope. Endpoints can be configured to use a Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file by downloading a PAC file template from Netskope and modifying it according to the customer’s needs. The PAC file can be hosted on-premises or on the cloud and distributed to the endpoints. The other options are not valid for this use case. Endpoints do not need separate steering configurations in the tenant settings, as they can use the same explicit proxy destination and port. Endpoints do not need to be configured in the device section of the tenant to interoperate with all proxies, as this is only required for reverse proxy mode.

Question #22
Review the exhibit.
You are asked to create a DLP profile that will ensure that the data shown in the exhibit cannot be uploaded to a user’s personal Google Drive.
What must be used to accomplish this task?
- A . document fingerprinting
- B . ML image classifier
- C . optical character recognition
- D . INTL-PAN-Name rule
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
To create a DLP profile that will ensure that the data shown in the exhibit cannot be uploaded to a user’s personal Google Drive, you need to use optical character recognition (OCR). OCR is a feature that allows you to detect and extract text from images and scanned documents. You can use OCR in your DLP profiles to identify sensitive data that is embedded or hidden in images1. In the exhibit, we can see that the data is a credit card number, which is a type of sensitive data that can be easily identified by OCR. You can create a DLP profile that uses OCR and matches the credit card number data identifier or a custom regex expression. You can then apply an action such as block, alert, or quarantine to prevent the data from being uploaded to Google Drive2. Therefore, option C is correct and the other options are incorrect.

Correct Answer: ACE
ACE
Explanation:
Three methods to deploy a Netskope client are A. Deploy Netskope client using SCCM, C. Deploy Netskope client using email invite, and E. Deploy Netskope client using IdP. These are some of the methods that Netskope supports for packaging and installing the Netskope client on the user’s device1. SCCM is a Microsoft tool that allows you to push the Netskope client silently to the user’s device without requiring user intervention or local admin privileges2. Email invite is a method that sends an email to the user with a unique link to download and install the Netskope client. This method is quick and easy, but requires the user to initiate the installation and have local admin privileges3. IdP is a method that uses an identity provider (such as Azure AD or Okta) to authenticate the user and enroll the Netskope client. This method requires the UPN of the logged in user to match the directory, or use SAML/SSO as an alternative4. Therefore, options A, C, and E are correct and the other options are incorrect.

Question #30
You notice that your Netskope client icon has a red dot and see "Disabled due to error" when hovering the mouse over the icon.
What are two reasons for this message? (Choose two.)
- A . The client service is manually stopped.
- B . The steering exceptions are incorrect.
- C . The client health check has failed.
- D . The client traffic is directed over iPsec.
Correct Answer: AC
AC
Explanation:
Two reasons for the message “Disabled due to error” when hovering the mouse over the Netskope client icon are A. The client service is manually stopped and C. The client health check has failed. The client service is a background process that runs the Netskope client on the user’s device and communicates with the Netskope cloud. If the client service is manually stopped by the user or by another program, the Netskope client will be disabled and show a red dot on the icon1. The client health check is a feature that monitors the status of the Netskope client and performs self-repair actions if any issues are detected. If the client health check has failed, it means that the Netskope client has encountered a critical error that cannot be fixed automatically, such as corrupted files or registry entries. In this case, the Netskope client will be disabled and show a red dot on the icon2. Therefore, options A and C are correct and the other options are incorrect.
