Hi Netskope team, Congratulations on the leadership in Magic Quadrant in SSE. Please help me with my below query. As Netskope offers NGSWG, can you let me know the features of NGSWG provided in detail?As I know this includes WebDLP, URL filtering, SSL inspection, Authentication, and In-line CASB Content filtering. It's the combination of DLP SWG and CASB. Can you please let me know the limitations of DLP and CASB in NGSWG and the traditional SSE SWG and Netskope NGSWG?  

A Security Practitioner's Perspective Netskope Cloud Firewall Recommendations, Practical Advice, and Use Cases Background This document provides recommendations, practical advice, and use cases for Cloud Firewall (CFW).  When enabled in a tenant and applied to a steering profile, it will steer all traffic regardless of type-HTTP, HTTPS, and non-web traffic types. The non-web traffic includes TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic.   CFW provides advanced security and access controls without the cost, complexity, and performance limitations of traditional firewall appliances. It accomplishes this through an integrated cloud-hosted firewall solution with granular control over outbound non-web traffic visibility.   It provides network security on outbound traffic across all ports and protocols for users and/or groups based on policy controls including a 5-tuple, fully qualified domains and wildcards as destinations, and an application layer gateway for FTP; the 5-tuple includes source

Private access - NPA Threat Protection Inspection Hello good afternoon, as always thanks for the collaboration, your time and good vibes.Reviewing the NPA topics, and validating to generate an NPA type policy, I don't see that it allows me to add a Netskope Threat Protection profile. For example if I have at NPA level, some SMB type access, for shared folders against some File server, Storage or NAS, via the corresponding UDP/TCP ports used by SMBv2 and SMBv3 and I add them as a NPA type APP, at that point Netskope performs or not the inspection of that traffic flow? Netskope Threat Protection for NPA does or does not perform inspection of NPA/Private access APPs.I remain attentive Best regards

Hello community, how are you doing. I am running a test from my Netskope client, Mobile Android version. When I check the event logs of Page events, the following appears and I don't have any policy that generates bypass at SSL decrypt level or Real time rule.I'm testing and I don't see it blocking the sites that it does block in a rule with the client on a workstation, but from the Netskope Mobile Client on Android the following appears: Bypass Reason:Bypass_reasonSSL Do Not Decrypt Bypass Policy MatchedBypass Traffic:yesSrc Time:Tue Apr 18 20:22:00 2023Ssl Decrypt Policy:yesUser Generated:yesType:connectionPolicy Name:Default do-not-decrypt Android traffic for versions Nougat and above Are there any restrictions on client installation and use of Mobile Android ? Is there any extra step to do when installing the client on the mobile Android from the invitation ? The Android version I am using in the test is "11". According to the Netskope site it is supported.

Good afternoon all,   So I've made some great progress on getting netskope to run so I can access all my network resources etc when it's up and running. However I've run into an issue when it comes to doing a remote Hybrid AD join.   The application is packaged up and working   I can access my domain controllers when not on a VPN through netskope private access.   What I can't do at the moment is domain join machines remotely, is there a way that I can for want of a better word, bodge the install or configure it in such a way so I can open network access and then authenticate against my on-prem domain controllers? I read somewhere that you can use NSBranding.JSON or something to enable the configuration but I can't find any official documentation.   Thanks RGE_Master

Hello - We have configured steering exceptions for VPN gateway IPs, domains, and cert pinned app for the VPN processes so that Netskope will not impact vpn connections and works as expected when users connect to VPN. But after enabling private app discovery users are not able to connect to VPN gateway via VPN client and not sure what is causing problem. As part of App discovery configuration we added the company wild card domain and VPN gateway FQDN matches the domain. Did anyone face similar issue before? If yes can someone provide guidance on this issue? Thanks

Hi, We are currently in the process of setting up a new netskope installation for private access and DLP. Things a re going fairly well and most stuff is working. We have a lot of devs in our organization and a lot of them use WSL on windows for things like their buildtools and docker etc. What we have found is we have to install the netskope linux client in WSL for it to be able to get private access. This is in addition to the windows client. Although this is logical as wsl is a hyperv vm underneath the hood, its far from optimal. Has anyone else got and alternative ways of doing it?ie can the windows netskope client provide a proxy we could define via the https_proxy variables etc? 

Hello community the new ZTNA NEXT was announced. Does anyone know the release date yet?how can we test it?Will it be a separate license?need to change the topology?

Hello all, I considered posting this here since my comment in the following post might be not seen:Netskope DLP use cases for ChatGPT - The Netskope Community We found the reason DLP is not working for chatGPT.ChatGPT input is sent as a HTTP POST, sending the message inside the JSON payload.The problem comes when the input text contains newline characters.Nweline characters are sent as ' ' and Netskope does not treat these as newline but as a literal '' and an 'n'.This means if I send for instance a list of card numbers or SSN numbers as follows:132412341234132412341234 What is being actually sent is "132412341234 132412341234".Netskope sets implicitly word boundaries to entities, this means word boundary characters (dot, coma, semicolon, whitespace, etc) must be found before and after the sensitive data to match. Considering the format the data is sent to chatgpt, what netskope sees is:"132412341234" and "n132412341234".Thus the second SSN numbers won't match beca

I was looking for anyone with experiences with converting over to SWG that includes the Epic (www.Epic.com).  Lessons learned, SWG implementation schedule, really anything. 

New user to Netskope so apologies if this has been answered.I have an internal application with an Admin page that can be access via port 8383.This application has a public address for client apps to communicate with when they are not in the building.  The Admin page is not available when you are using the External address.Example:Internal  App.Test.com  IP 192.1.1.1External App.Test.com. IP 35.1.1.1We configured this as a Private App, however the admin page does not work and from what I can tell from the logs Netskope is using the External address.  If I use the IP address instead of the FQDN internally it works.   Any thoughts?

Hello All, Looking for some help !! If we need to manage the traffic of unmanaged Devices like personal laptop , Tablets and mobile the usual proposed methodology is Reverse Proxy integration to map the control, But i wanted to check on the below mentioned point. If we have user authentication mapped with the Netskope proxy and user when logging in via personal devices and getting authenticated via Netskope Proxy in this case do we require the reverse proxy integration? Thanks in advance for your help !! Thanks & Regards Amar  

Has anyone experienced slow download/upload speeds when implementing SWG? It appears to be with large image files. When the Netskope client is disabled, the download speeds are much faster.Thanks.

Currently we are facing an issue where a bunch of Windows 10 Netskope clients attempted to auto update from v94 to v95 based on the setting in the cloud console.  We had a large amount of upgrade failures where the person is then left with no Netskope client installed. We disabled the auto update functionality on our steering config once it started to become a major problem to prevent the rest of our users dealing with this.    We currently also use NPA for managing these machines remotely through SCCM and for access to internal resources and we require the Netskope client to be installed for any access to cloud resources. Essentially every user that this happened to is completely unable to work and fixing the issue after the fact becomes difficult as we were switching to relying on a VPN for remote access to Netskope.    Is anyone else facing this issue?

Dear All,We have recently enabled cloud update from the console for version 99.0.0. with opt in dot upgrade. We have a fleet of 28K device. We are experiencing lot of broken client. As per the STAupdate.txt the client upgrade failed with 1603 exit code, rolled back but was left in a corrupted state.We have to uninstall the client and install the new version manually to resolve the issue. STAUpdate.txt file attached. Logged a support call with the managed service provider for Netskope and hopeful to get a prompt reply and solution. It has become a service desk nightmare. Is this a common issue for all netskope client versions? Any peer comment will be highly appreciated. 

Hello Netskope Community!    This topic covers Fiddler, the 18yo Web Debugging proxy that most seasoned web developers, IT and security professionals love. This tool can help you record, view, replay and tweak web transactions in unimaginable ways making it one of the most popular web debugging tools in the world.    Fiddler Classic is only available for Windows but there is a paid version called Fiddler Anywhere which can also run on Mac and Linux.    A common question we get is, how can i make it work with Netskope? The reason behind this question can be someone who is just debugging their very own applications, a security researcher or even a Proxy SME troubleshooting an issue.    Once you install Fiddler on a Windows machine (did all my testing with Windows 11 Home edition build 22621) two things matter most: 1) how you will proxy the traffic and 2) how you will intercept the traffic.    Let me address the second item first since it

Hi, We want to script "Disable Netskope Client", "Enable Netskope Client" on MacOS. That is a full tunnel teardowns and rebuild, reloading of network stack etc. I saw some posts re using sudo launchctl [un]load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.netskope.client.auxsvc.plist but this appears to do nothing. Certainly the NPA tunnel stays up for existing connections.Thanks

Is there the possibility of integrating IRM with Netskope and being able to restrict what types of documents can be sent through WhatsApp according to their label? I saw in the official documentation that Netskope supports the following cloud apps with MIP:Box, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

With Cert Pinned Apps, one can can specify an application (Windows EXE, Mac Process, etc) and what domains to bypass.  While there is a block option, you cannot specify specific domains, it treats the field as a "*" regardless of what is placed in the field.    My use case is that I have an application that one can put APIs into.  This is very useful, but i would like to prevent OPENAI.COM.  However, as programmed by Netskope, despite specifically putting OPENAI.com in the URL list, it blocks all Internet access from the application, which is causing disruption. This is not not explained at all during the creation process and has a single line dedicated to it in a KB article. Blink and you will miss it!   “Block: The mode and other options are not applicable and the client blocks all the app traffic”(Reference:  https://docs.netskope.com/en/adding-exceptions.html)  I am asking for support.   Please tell the Netskope representative that you are interested in adding your company's name t

This post is about API Protection (previously known as API Introspection) integration best practice:   Can I integrate multiple instances of the  same SaaS app (e.g. My company's Sharepoint dev and Sharepoint prod) to one Netskope tenant? -Sure you can. And most customers do. There is no problem as long as you are within your license quota. For licensing questions reach out to your Sales team. -Having multiple SaaS apps in one tenant is also not uncommon (e.g. Box, Webex, Zoom, O365 in one Netskope tenant). Again it is just the license you need to purchase for additional SaaS app.   I have more than 2 Netskope tenants but I have only one SaaS app tenant. Can I have the same instance of one SaaS app integrated to multiple Netskope tenants? Caution! Even though the integration may succeed (i.e. the instance grant process turns green on both Netskope tenants) few immediate side effects I would like to alert you about - You are essentially doubling your API usage becaus

What is the difference between App events, page events, and alerts into skope IT?

  Zero Trust Network Access(ZTNA) solutions provide vast security improvements compared to traditional VPNs thanks to only allowing users access to the applications they need. Autopilot can be used to simplify and streamline the bulk deployment, setup, and configuration of Windows 10/11 devices in an organization to ensure they are provisioned and locked down according to corporate standards. It can also be used for device reset, repurpose, and recovery. Netskope has a feature called Netskope Private Access Prelogon for Private Apps which assists customers to take advantage of autopilot functionality.   Netskope’s Professional Services team has been using this feature to recognize company owned devices and associate them with appropriate enrollment workflows and configuration profiles,  automatically join devices to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or Active Directory, auto-enroll devices into MDM services such as Intune, and Customer Out of Box Experience (OOBE) conten

Hi community,  we are facing issues with several of our websites accessed via NPA:Reaching the website is working without any issue, but if you let it in background for a while and come back to it, sometimes it falls into error without possibility to refresh the page and make it work. User needs to disable/enable agent to make it work again. Anyone faced similar issue ?Thanks, Robin
