An updated version of the NG-SWG Health Check dashboard is now available!

 

The purpose of this dashboard is to help you maximize the ROI of your Netskope investment by highlighting ways to ensure you are using Netskope to it's full potential. The specific focus of this dashboard is operationalization of the NG-SWG product. Below you will find a breakdown of some of the views in this dashboard. 

 

The first set of widgets focus on the NewEdge network and the POPs in use by your organization. These views help you determine if you need to optimize your POP selection settings.

Next you can see the number of users protected and steering methods used. Are the total users protected close to 100% of your organization size? Do you see the expected # of users protected? Are the access methods listed the expected ones? If not, these are red flags and we encourage to check the recommendations to resolve your issue.
