NSK300 Exam Dumps : Netskope Certified Cloud Security Architect Exam

Netskope’s default steering configuration covers standard HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) traffic. When a web application is served on a non-standard port such as 6443, the Netskope Client will not steer it by default. To ensure that traffic on port 6443 is both steered and decrypted, the administrator must enable the “Steer non-standard ports” option in the Steering Configuration and then add the specific domain and port as a non-standard port entry. This configuration instructs the Netskope Client to intercept and forward traffic on that port to the Netskope proxy for inspection. No additional Real-time Protection policy is required solely for enabling steering on this port, as existing applicable policies will be enforced once traffic is properly steered to the platform.

To identify which cloud storage applications are currently in use but are not HIPAA compliant before implementing a blocking policy, administrators can leverage Netskope’s Advanced Analytics with a targeted query. The correct query syntax for this use case is: app-cci-compliance-cert neq ’HIPAA’ and category eq ’Cloud Storage’. This query uses the Cloud Confidence Index (CCI) compliance certification field to filter out applications that do not hold a HIPAA certification, scoped to the Cloud Storage application category. This allows administrators to see active usage of non-compliant cloud storage applications and assess the business impact before applying an enforcement policy. The other options contain incorrect field names or invalid syntax that would not return valid results in Netskope’s query engine.

When using Explicit Proxy over Tunnel (EPoT) as the Netskope steering method, the Netskope Client establishes a tunnel to the Netskope cloud and forwards proxy traffic through it. If specific domains need to be excluded from this steering such as internal applications or trusted third-party services, the correct approach is to define exception domains directly in the PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) file. The PAC file logic can route traffic for excluded domains to DIRECT, bypassing the Netskope proxy, while all other traffic is directed through the EPoT tunnel. Steering exceptions in the Netskope tenant UI apply to client-based steering but do not control PAC file behavior. Real-time Protection bypass actions and SSL decryption policies operate after traffic has already been steered to Netskope and cannot intercept traffic before it enters the tunnel.
