API OneDrive Reports

I am attempting to build an AA report from my OneDrive API connector, but I am finding it is working off alerts vs the API data. What I am trying to build is a report showing employees have used their OneDrive to share with external users the name of the file/folder, type, and size. I can get that data if it falls in the 90-day data window we have with AA, but I can't pull from the raw API over the life of the file/folder. I would just use the API Export, but it leaves off the shared with many times, so I was hoping AA would solve that.  Is that because AA is limited to only alerts within the subscription of data like 30/90 days?  Thank you

Couple custom field creation questions

I have two values I would like to display in a table widget, but I can't seem to find the right way to craft the custom field.  For both, I'm trying to extract a single value across mutliple individual alerts.1) I can easily get the number of users matching the criteria for the record, but I would prefer to display a list of the users. How can this be done without presenting a row for each user? I would much prefer to have them summarized into a single cell.2) The second summary field I would like to create is the "most recent" time across the individual records.Table I'm working withAny recommendations would be appreciated.

Change Time Format to 00:00:00

  Are you bored of reporting time with "hours," "minutes," and "seconds" in Advanced Analytics? Are you looking for a cool and efficient way to report time like an F1 driver? This post can help!   Let's start with an example. Netskope wants to report the connection duration of each application. A traditional way is to use the "Connection Duration" field, which will return connection duration in seconds. For instance, if a session is connected at 9:00 AM and disconnected at 10:30 AM, the result would be "5,400 seconds."    Now, Netskope wants to report the connection duration in a different format "00:00:00." To make this happen, all we need to do is just applying the custom field below: This field will convert the original result "5,400 seconds" to "1:30:00 (1 hour, 30 minutes, 0 seconds)," which provides a more visualized way to report time. The dashboard has been attached below. Feel free to download and import it into your own environment for more details. &nbs

Can Advanced Analytics help me with this? A: Sure! Please check the YouTube Activity Dashboard from our community. This dashboard will give you an overview and approximation of the time users spend on YouTube.    Q: My organization is interested in learning when users are downloading from corporate applications to personal machines without the client installed. Is this possible? How to make sure it’s NOT from a managed device (possibly looking at non-corporate IP ranges)? A: In general, Netskope recommends that conditional access be used within the application management controls to lock

Threat Hunting: Suspected Shell Traffic in Advanced Analytics

Web shells are commonly used by threat actors as part of the command and control phase of a cyberattack. These shells can be custom code and used by common C2 frameworks such as Cobalt Strike or be generated as a default payload in exploitation frameworks such as Metasploit. With this comes a challenge to security professionals on how to detect, mitigate, and hunt these shells that may be generated by an adversary during an attack. Netskope’s Advanced Analytics can be used in combination with Netskopes Cloud Firewall to create a dashboard that provides insight into where potential shell traffic is occurring within an organization's environment.    Uploaded with this community post is a Netskope Advance Analytics Dashboard that provides broad insight into where these potential shells may be occurring within an organization's environment.    The first Widget in the dashboard is the Ping dashboard. This shows ping traffic within the organization's environment. Dependin

Resolved: Why is my link not working?

  As an essential feature of Advanced Analytics, adding "links" to a dashboard helps users precisely locate particular content. Simply by clicking the keyword with a URL attached, users will be directed to the webpage linked.   A link can be added in several ways. The easiest way is typing the syntax "[Keyword](URL)." By doing so, the webpage will be opened in the current window when users clicking the keyword.    However, this method does not work properly sometimes, and may give you the error message shown below.   To avoid the error, the best way is having the URL linked and opened to a new tab, not in the current window. The syntax template in this case is "<a href="URL" target="_blank">Keyword</a>."    By doing so, the webpage linked will then be opened in a new tab when users clicking the keyword.   A sample dashboard is also attached below. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions on this topic. Happy to help

Map - Connected Points - Formatting

I've put together a quick map visualization, but I am not able to manipulate it in the manner I'd like to. The editing options have a lot of control over how the points at the end of the line display, but I'm not really interested in the ends.   Instead, I'd like to change how the lines are displayed.  Am I overlooking something, or should I open an Enhancement Request to expose formatting controls for the lines themselves?Specifically, I would like to color the line one end based on a string value associated with one of the points.

Word Cloud - Formatting

Several of the examples in the Netskope Library with Word Clouds visualization are for Justification.  As these are largely user-generated, they tend to be nearly universally unique.  Has there been any consideration of tokenizing these into either individual words (discarding filler words) or shorter phrases?   A drill-in on these could then expose the justifications that contain the selected word/phrase.
