According to Netskope, two preferred methods to report a URL miscategorization are: use and use the URL Lookup page in the dashboard. The first method allows you to visit in your browser and enter any URL that you want to check or report for miscategorization. You will see the current category assigned by Netskope for that URL and you can submit a request to change it if you think it is incorrect. The second method allows you to use the URL Lookup page in the dashboard of your Netskope platform tenant and enter any URL that you want to check or report for miscategorization. You will see the current category assigned by Netskope for that URL and you can submit a request to change it if you think it is incorrect. Emailing support@netskope.com or tagging Netskope on Twitter are not preferred methods to report a URL miscategorization, as they are not designed for this purpose and may not be as efficient or effective as using the dedicated tools provided by Netskope. References: [Netskope URL Lookup],  Netskope Security Cloud Operation & Administration (NSCO&A) - Classroom Course, Module 8: Skope IT, Lesson 2: Page Events.

API-enabled Protection traffic is sent to the Netskope Data Plane. The Netskope Data Plane is responsible for processing and inspecting data in real-time, applying security policies, and ensuring that the traffic conforms to organizational policies.

Netskope Data Plane: This component handles the inline inspection and enforcement of security policies, including API-enabled protection. It ensures that all traffic is securely processed and monitored according to the defined policies.

=================

SaaS API-enabled Protection is a primary function in the Netskope platform that allows customers to connect their sanctioned SaaS applications to Netskope using out-of-band API connections. This enables customers to find sensitive content, enforce near real-time policy controls, and quarantine malware in their SaaS applications without affecting user experience or performance. If you want to use an out-of-band API connection into your sanctioned Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business application to achieve these goals, you should use SaaS API-enabled Protection as the primary function in the Netskope platform. DLP forensics, Risk Insights, and IaaS API-enabled Protection are not primary functions in the Netskope platform that can be used to connect your application to Netskope. References: [Netskope SaaS API-enabled Protection].

When working with traffic from applications with pinned certificates, you should add an exception to the steering configuration to bypass them. Pinned certificates are a security technique that prevents man-in-the-middle attacks by validating the server certificates against a hardcoded list of certificates in the application. If you try to intercept or inspect the traffic from such applications, they will reject the connection or display an error message. Therefore, you should add the domains used by certificate-pinned applications as exceptions in your steering configuration, so that they are not steered to Netskope for analysis and enforcement. References: Certificate Pinned ApplicationsCreating a Steering Configuration
