You are asked to create a customized restricted administrator role in your Netskope tenant for a newly hired employee.
Which two statements are correct in this scenario? (Choose two.)
- A . An admin role prevents admins from downloading and viewing file content by default.
- B . The scope of the data shown in the Ul can be restricted to specific events.
- C . All role privileges default to Read Only for all functional areas.
- D . Obfuscation can be applied to all functional areas.
AC
Explanation:
Admin Role and File Content Viewing: By default, an admin role does not prevent admins from downloading and viewing file content. Admins have access to view and download file content unless specific restrictions are applied.
Role Privileges Default to Read Only: All role privileges in Netskope default to Read Only for all functional areas. This means that admins can view information but cannot make changes unless explicitly granted additional permissions.
Obfuscation: Obfuscation can be applied to specific functional areas, but it is not a default behavior for all areas.

Netskope Certification Description
Netskope Architectural Advantage Features
A company has deployed Explicit Proxy over Tunnel (EPoT) for their VDI users They have configured Forward Proxy authentication using Okta Universal Directory They have also configured a number of Real-time Protection policies that block access to different Web categories for different AD groups so.
for example, marketing users are blocked from accessing gambling sites. During User Acceptance Testing, they see inconsistent results where sometimes marketing users are able to access gambling sites and sometimes they are blocked as expected They are seeing this inconsistency based on who logs into the VDI server first.
What is causing this behavior?
- A . Forward Proxy is not configured to use the Cookie Surrogate
- B . Forward Proxy is not configured to use the IP Surrogate
- C . Forward Proxy authentication is configured but not enabled.
- D . Forward Proxy is configured to use the Cookie Surrogate
A
Explanation:
The inconsistent results observed during User Acceptance Testing (where marketing users sometimes access gambling sites and sometimes are blocked) are likely due to the configuration of the Forward Proxy.
Cookie Surrogate: The Cookie Surrogate is a mechanism used in Forward Proxy deployments to maintain user context across multiple requests. It ensures that user-specific policies are consistently applied even when multiple users share the same IP address (common in VDI environments). Issue: If the Forward Proxy is not configured to use the Cookie Surrogate, it may lead to inconsistent behavior. When different users log into the VDI server, their requests may not be associated with their specific user context, resulting in varying policy enforcement.
Solution: Ensure that the Forward Proxy is properly configured to use the Cookie Surrogate, allowing consistent policy enforcement based on individual user identities.

Review the exhibit.
You are the proxy administrator for a medical devices company. You recently changed a pilot group of users from cloud app steering to all Web traffic. Pilot group users have started to report that they receive the error shown in the exhibit when attempting to access the company intranet site that is publicly available. During troubleshooting, you realize that this site uses your company’s internal certificate authority for SSL certificates.
Which three statements describe ways to solve this issue? (Choose three.)
- A . Import the root certificate for your internal certificate authority into Netskope.
- B . Bypass SSL inspection for the affected site(s).
- C . Create a Real-time Protection policy to allow access.
- D . Change the SSL Error Settings from Block to Bypass in the Netskope tenant.
- E . Instruct the user to proceed past the error message
ABD
Explanation:
Review the exhibit.
You created an SSL decryption policy to bypass the inspection of financial and accounting Web categories. However, you still see banking websites being inspected.
What are two possible causes of this behavior? (Choose two.)
- A . The policy is in a "disabled" state.
- B . An incorrect category has been selected
- C . The policy is in a "pending changes" state.
- D . An incorrect action has been specified.
B, D
Explanation:
The issue described in the exhibit is that banking websites are still being inspected despite creating an SSL decryption policy to bypass the inspection of financial and accounting web categories. Possible Causes:
An incorrect category has been selected (Option B):
If the SSL decryption policy is configured to bypass the wrong category (e.g., not the actual financial and accounting category), it won’t effectively exclude banking websites from inspection. An incorrect action has been specified (Option D):
If the action specified in the policy is not set to “Bypass,” it won’t achieve the desired behavior. The policy should explicitly bypass SSL inspection for the selected category.
Solution: Verify that the correct category (financial and accounting) is selected in the policy, and ensure that the action is set to “Bypass.”
You deployed the Netskope Client for Web steering in a large enterprise with dynamic steering. The steering configuration includes a bypass rule for an application that is IP restricted.
What is the source IP for traffic to this application when the user is on-premises at the enterprise?
- A . Loopback IPv4
- B . Netskope data plane gateway IPv4
- C . Enterprise Egress IPv4
- D . DHCP assigned RFC1918 IPv4
C
Explanation:
When a user is on-premises at the enterprise and accesses an application that is IP restricted, the source IP for traffic to this application is the Enterprise Egress IPv4 address.
The Enterprise Egress IP represents the external IP address of the enterprise network as seen by external services or applications.
This IP address is used for communication between the user’s device and external resources, including applications that are IP restricted.
Reference: The answer is based on general knowledge of networking concepts and how IP addresses are used in enterprise environments.
You do not want a scheduled Advanced Analytics dashboard to be automatically updated when Netskope makes improvements to that dashboard.
In this scenario, what would you do to retain the original dashboard?
- A . Create a new dashboard from scratch that mimics the Netskope dashboard you want to use.
- B . Copy the dashboard into your Group or Personal folders and schedule from these folders.
- C . Ask Netskope Support to provide the dashboard and import into your Personal folder.
- D . Download the dashboard you want and Import from File into your Group or Personal folder.
D
Explanation:
To retain the original dashboard without automatic updates due to improvements made by Netskope, you can download the desired dashboard and then import it from a file into your Group or Personal folder.
This approach ensures that you have a static version of the dashboard that won’t be affected by future changes or enhancements.
Reference: The answer is based on general knowledge of dashboard management and customization within Netskope.
You have multiple networking clients running on an endpoint and client connectivity is a concern.
You are configuring co-existence with a VPN solution in this scenario, what is recommended to prevent potential routing issues?
- A . Configure the VPN to split tunnel traffic by adding the Netskope IP and Google DNS ranges and set to Exclude in the VPN configuration.
- B . Modify the VPN to operate in full tunnel mode at Layer 3. so that the Netskope agent will always see the traffic first.
- C . Configure the VPN to full tunnel traffic and add an SSL Do Not Decrypt policy to the VPN
configuration for all Netskope traffic. - D . Configure a Network Location with the VPN IP ranges and add it as a Steering Configuration exception.
B
Explanation:
To prevent potential routing issues and ensure that the Netskope agent consistently sees the traffic first, it is recommended to modify the VPN to operate in full tunnel mode at Layer 3.
In full tunnel mode, all traffic from the endpoint is routed through the VPN, including traffic destined for Netskope. This ensures that the Netskope agent can inspect and apply policies to all traffic, regardless of the destination.
Layer 3 full tunnel mode provides better visibility and control over the traffic flow, reducing the risk of routing conflicts or bypassing the Netskope inspection.
Reference: The answer is based on general knowledge of VPN configurations and their impact on traffic routing.

A user has attempted to upload a file to Microsoft OneDrive that contains source code with Pll and PCI data.
Referring to the exhibit, which statement Is correct?
- A . The user will be blocked and a single Incident will be generated referencing the DLP-PCI profile.
- B . The user will be blocked and a single Incident will be generated referencing all of the matching DLP profiles
- C . The user will be blocked and a separate incident will be generated for each of the matching DLP profiles.
- D . The user will be alerted and a single incident will be generated referencing the DLP-PII profile.
C
Explanation:
In the given scenario, a user is attempting to upload a file containing sensitive PII and PCI data to Microsoft OneDrive. The Netskope Security Cloud provides real-time data and threat protection when accessing cloud services, websites, and private apps from anywhere, on any device. Based on the exhibit provided, different DLP (Data Loss Prevention) profiles are triggered – DLP-SourceCode,
DLP-PCI, and DLP-PII. Each of these profiles has specific actions associated with them; for instance, an alert is generated for Source Code while blocking actions are initiated for PCI and PII data. Since multiple DLP profiles are triggered due to the sensitive nature of the content in the file being uploaded, separate incidents will be generated for each matching profile ensuring comprehensive security coverage and incident reporting.

Users at your company’s branch office in San Francisco report that their clients are connecting, but websites and SaaS applications are slow When troubleshooting, you notice that the users are connected to a Netskope data plane in New York where your company’s headquarters is located.
What is a valid reason for this behavior?
- A . The Netskope Client’s on-premises detection check failed.
- B . The Netskope Client’s default DNS over HTTPS call is failing.
- C . The closest Netskope data plane to San Francisco is unavailable.
- D . The Netskope Client’s DNS call to Secure Forwarder is failing
C
Explanation:
The reported issue of slow website and SaaS application access for users in the San Francisco branch office, despite being connected to a Netskope data plane in New York, can be attributed to the geographical distance between the user location and the data plane. The Netskope Security Cloud operates through a distributed network of data planes strategically placed in various regions. When users connect to a data plane that is geographically distant, it can result in latency due to longer network traversal times. In this case, the closest Netskope data plane to San Francisco might be unavailable or experiencing high load, leading to performance issues. To address this, consider optimizing data plane selection based on proximity to the user location or investigating any data plane availability or performance issues.

Your Netskope Client tunnel has connected to Netskope; however, the user is not receiving any steering or client configuration updates What would cause this issue?
- A . The client is unable to establish communication to add-on-[tenantl.goskope.com.
- B . The client is unable to establish communication to gateway-(tenant|.goskope.com.
- C . The Netskope Client service is not running.
- D . An invalid steering exception was created in the tenant
C
Explanation:
When the Netskope Client service is not running, it cannot execute the necessary processes to receive steering or client configuration updates. The service must be active to establish communication with the Netskope cloud and apply the configurations and policies defined by the administrator.
Reference: This information aligns with the Netskope Cloud Security Architect learning objectives and documents, which emphasize the importance of running client services for proper communication and functionality
You built a number of DLP profiles for different sensitive data types. If a file contains any of this sensitive data, you want to take the most restrictive policy action but also create incident details for all matching profiles.
Which statement is correct in this scenario?
- A . Create a Real-time Protection policy for each DLP profile; each matched profile will generate a unique DLP incident.
- B . Create a Real-time Protection policy for each DLP profile; all matched profiles will show up in a single DLP incident
- C . Create a single Real-time Protection policy and include all of the DLP profiles; each matched profile will generate a unique DLP incident
- D . Create a single Real-time Protection policy and include all of the DLP profiles; all matched profiles will show up in a single DLP incident.
D
Explanation:
When configuring a Real-time Protection policy with multiple DLP profiles, if the content matches multiple profiles, the policy performs the most restrictive action associated with the DLP profiles that match for that policy. The resulting incident lists all the profiles that matched along with their corresponding forensic information. This means that even though the most restrictive action is taken, details for all matching profiles are created and included in a single DLP incident12.
Reference: The explanation is based on the best practices and detailed descriptions provided in the Netskope Knowledge Portal and Community discussions, which outline the process of handling multiple DLP profile matches within a single Real-time Protection policy
