Question 1

Review the exhibit.

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.
Answer:

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.

Question 2

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
Answer:

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.

Question 10

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.
Answer:

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
