Question #51
You are an administrator writing Netskope Real-time Protection policies and must determine proper policy ordering.
Which two statements are true in this scenario? (Choose two.)
- A . You must place Netskope private access malware policies in the middle.
- B . You do not need to create an "allow all" Web Access policy at the bottom.
- C . You must place DLP policies at the bottom.
- D . You must place high-risk block policies at the top.
Correct Answer: BD
BD
Explanation:
To determine proper policy ordering for Netskope Real-time Protection policies, you need to follow these two statements:
B. You do not need to create an “allow all” Web Access policy at the bottom.
D. You must place high-risk block policies at the top. These statements are based on the best practices for policy ordering recommended by Netskope3. An “allow all” Web Access policy at the bottom is not necessary because any traffic that does not match any policy will be allowed by default. However, you can create a “monitor all” Web Access policy at the bottom if you want to log all the traffic that is not matched by any other policy4. High-risk block policies at the top are important because they prevent any traffic that poses a serious threat or violates a critical compliance standard from reaching its destination. These policies should have higher priority than other policies that may allow or modify the traffic5. Therefore, options B and D are correct and the other options are incorrect.

Question #55
Recently your company implemented Zoom for collaboration purposes and you are attempting to inspect the traffic with Netskope. Your initial attempt reveals that you are not seeing traffic from the Zoom client that is used by all users. You must ensure that this traffic is visible to Netskope.
In this scenario, which two steps must be completed to satisfy this requirement? (Choose two.)
- A . Create a steering exception for Zoom to ensure traffic is reaching Netskope.
- B . Create a Do Not Decrypt SSL policy for the Zoom application suite.
- C . Remove the Zoom certificate-pinned application from the default steering configuration.
- D . Remove the default steering exception for the Web Conferencing Category.
Correct Answer: CD
CD
Explanation:
To ensure that the traffic from the Zoom client is visible to Netskope, you need to remove the Zoom certificate-pinned application from the default steering configuration and remove the default steering exception for the Web Conferencing Category. A certificate-pinned application is an application that validates the server certificates against the hardcoded ones in the application. This is a security technique used to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and secure access to the application. By default, Netskope bypasses the traffic from certificate-pinned applications and does not decrypt or inspect it3. Zoom is one of the predefined certificate-pinned applications that Netskope supports4. To enable Netskope to inspect the traffic from Zoom, you need to remove it from the steering configuration that applies to your users5. Additionally, you need to remove the default steering exception for the Web Conferencing Category, which includes Zoom and other similar applications. A steering exception is a rule that specifies the traffic that you want to bypass Netskope and go directly to the destination6. By removing this exception, you allow Netskope to steer and analyze the traffic from web conferencing applications. Therefore, options C and D are correct and the other options are incorrect.
