Netskope Cloud Version - 113

Objective

Block “career” section on any website

https://www.hdfcbank.com/personal/about-us/careers

https://www.icicicareers.com/website/

Prerequisite

Netskope SWG Entitlement is required

Context

Many customers have specific requirements about blocking a specific section on the website while allowing the rest of the website to be accessible to end users.

This use case is around such a requirement and will demonstrate how to block “careers” section on the website while keeping the rest of website accessible to end users

Lab Recreate :

The idea here is to create a Regex that will match the keyword career in the Website but at the same time it should not block any search made on any search engine related to the word career.

Eg : https://www.hdfcbank.com/personal/about-us/careers : This Website should get blocked

However, the second URL as shown below that appears when you simply type the keyword “career” in the search option of a search engine, should not be blocked : 

To create a Regex and understand the supported syntax, you can leverage this document from Netskope Knowledge base

Below steps can be followed to accomplish this use case : 

• Create a Regex that will detect the keyword “Career” in any URL : 

To validate the regex you can use Regex Tester Tools

• Create a Regex that will exclude the google searches for the keyword “career” else the above regex will also block the URLs that are associated with search of keyword “career” in the search engine

Step 1 : Create a custom URL list under Policies - Web - URL List - New URL List with the first regex : 

Step 2 :  Create a custom URL list under Policies - Web - URL List - New URL List with the second regex : 

Step 3 : Now create a Custom category with the URL list 1 in Inclusion and the URL list 2 in exclusion

Step 4 : Now go to the Real time protection policy page under Policies - Real Time protection policies - Web and create a Real time protection policy as shown below :
