Netskope Client & Stolen Managed DevicesBlog

Netskope Client & Managed DevicesNetskope offers multiple steering mechanisms and the Netskope Client is the most recommended option due to its operating nature and the available feature list. The Netskope Client is a lightweight application which can be installed on a managed device and it can be used to steer traffic from the device to Netskope Security Cloud. It provides real-time visibility of the managed devices accessing the cloud and web from any location. The Client uses Forward Proxy Steering mechanism where the Client creates an SSL tunnel from the end device and terminates it at the Netskope forward proxy in the Cloud.So when the mode of steering is Netskope Client, all managed devices are expected to have the Netskope Client installed. In the context of this blog, a device is classified as managed if it has the Netskope Client installed. In this post, let us discuss the possible settings and changes which can be made in the Netskope tenant to accommodate a Lost/Stolen m

Netskope Client Enforcement: A Security Practitioner's Perspective

Background Q. How do you enforce Netskope Client adherence without impacting SAML flows after authentication?A. Netskope Client Enforcement. Netskope Client Enforcement is used to “enforce” the compliance of having a Netskope client enabled and connected to a tenant for accessing SaaS applications using Identity Providers (IdP) such as Okta. This includes IdP or Service Provider initiated connections, i.e. logging into Okta to access a SaaS application or logging into the SaaS application directly. Netskope Client Enforcement should be differentiated from other methods of steering real-time traffic to the Netskope tenant for the processing of policies; policies such as Next-Generation Software Web Gateway (NG-SWG), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Netskope Private Access (NPA), User Enhanced Behavior Analytics (UEBA), Cloud FireWall (CFW), and so on, all of which are designed to protect an organization. Netskope Client Enforcement also enables end users to protect corporate resources th

Best Practices for password protection using Netskope DLPBlog

The Data Loss Prevention product at Netskope offers a wide variety of options to customize and deploy rules that can be used in Realtime, API protection, SMTP proxy and Endpoint policies. The granular level of detailing helps information security engineers to fine tune the rule as much as possible to avoid false positives and false negatives. The same approach applies for password protection too. Passwords act as the first line of defense against unauthorized access. Strong password protection is essential for safeguarding company data, maintaining compliance, and preventing unauthorized access. In the customer zero program at Netskope, our team has been extensively working on training the DLP rules, analyzing the false positive incidents, ensuring that the DLP rules cover different types of passwords (common, contextual, secure and so on) by actively collaborating with the relevant product teams. After some intensive training and testing, here’s the recommended DLP rule for password p

Security posture for Github application at Netskope

GitHub is a web-based platform that provides hosting for software development projects utilizing the Git version control system. It serves as a collaborative platform for developers to work together on code, track changes, manage projects, and host their code repositories. GitHub allows developers to create and maintain repositories, which are containers for code and related resources. These repositories can be either public, allowing anyone to view and contribute to the code, or private, restricting access to a selected group of individuals or organizations.   There are some security challenges that we as the Customer Zero team are trying to address for Github. The premise behind the security posture is considering sensitive data movement, malicious repositories, code injection and leakage, ensuring appropriate access controls and permissions. We are currently monitoring and securing access to Github internally with a breadth of products that are developed and maintained by the d

Salesforce Reverse Proxy Using Okta as the IDP

A Security Practitioner's PerspectiveThis article will walk you through the setting up of Reverse Proxy(RProxy) for Salesforce (SFDC) using Okta as the Identity Provider (IDP). There are RProxy limitations which should be noted as it will greatly affect its use within the organization and subsequent effective use within Real-Time Policies (RTP). For example, RProxy might appear to function correctly but activities with desktop applications might be restricted or bypass RProxy altogether.Since RProxy is meant to provide another real time steering method for machines or devices which do not have the Netskope client enabled, it is imperative to understand its limitations and plan accordingly.Additionally, RProxy should be implemented as the last method of deploying other real time access methods since it sits between the IDP and the application. The exception to this is implementing RProxy as a Service (RPaaS). RPaaS is an application that sits in an SaaS service that also has a built in

Making Netskope Cloud Exchange Highly AvailableBlog

The Netskope Cloud ExchangeNetskope offers an interesting solution to solve this use case and that is the Netskope Cloud Exchange (also referred to as Netskope CE). It is a free offering from Netskope with which organizations can share their IoC information between their security tools using the Threat Exchange, use the Log Shipper to import transaction logs from Netskope, use the Ticket Orchestrator to relay alerts to ticketing services and use the Risk Exchange to exchange risk scores between multiple sources. It can be installed and run in a Linux Docker environment by each customer on their own. You can read more about Netskope Cloud Exchange here. As mentioned above, there are four main modules offered with the Netskope Cloud Exchange: the Log Shipper, Ticket Orchestration, Threat Exchange, and Risk Exchange. All the modules are hosted and run in a single docker environment. Make sure you go through the system requirements once before you provision your infrastructure for the Clou

Access Control based on OS & Browser Versions using HTTP HeadersBlog

Why control access based on versions?In recent times, it’s well known that there are multiple vulnerabilities cropping up every single day for different applications and operating systems. Applications and operating systems creators are trying their best continuously to patch these vulnerabilities with newer and updated versions of their softwares. In an enterprise defensive setup, making sure that all applications and operating systems are up to date has become more important than ever. The two main entities which need to be monitored for updates aggressively should be Browsers and Operating Systems as a lot of internet access for users traverses via Browsers and every user would be on a machine which has to run an Operating System. There are several tools which help an organization to force-update their browsers and operating systems within a specific time & date. The forced-update method is an effective solution but is kind of an aggressive route as it might lead to unintentiona

Q: How about for Contractors who are not issued a laptop but need to access Okta?A: We do not block the initial access to Okta because there are some use cases where we may have former employees or even new hires that need to access Workday to set up some information. Once those persons are onboarded, we require them to use the Netskope client

Using Netskope’s Proactive Digital Experience Management to identify network experience trendsBlog

Netskope’s proactive & advanced Digital Experience Management (DEM) uses several metrics from Netskope client endpoint and Netskope proxy services to holistically compute the user experience score for users, based on the user-device-application combination. The user experience score provides insights for Netskope Cloud Security administrators to proactively identify network latency issues and trends, which can help avoid widespread impact on user productivity if any, well in advance. At Netskope’s Customer Zero team, where Netskope products are implemented to improve the security posture of enterprise data and applications, we actively monitor the user experience scores to identify potential network latency issues if any. This is done by adding the filter of user experience score between 0 & 30. This would provide some insights of users with poor experience scores, their locations, and so on. Using user-device combination in P-DEM, we can get critical insights about the hop by
