SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management) template based rulesNews

In the 114 release, we are excited to introduce a new type of content for Netskope SSPM: template-based rules. These rule templates are designed to assist deploying environment-specific detections for known threats, noteworthy anomalies and address misconfigurations. Using templates makes it easier to establish a more expedient and proactive defense strategy for your SaaS ecosystem.Each template is composed  with the same Netskope Governance Language (NGL) rule logic which is also used in the hundreds of built-in detections bundled within Netskope SSPM.  Kindly refer below steps Template based rules are predefined detection rules, which contain placeholders intended to be filled by the user. By simply populating the placeholders within the rule, users can effortlessly generate rules tailored to their specific business requirements and constraints. For example, you might want to ensure every user account in a SaaS application is registered with a company provided email-address?

Hello everyone, is it possible to control that a user closes the process or service associated with the Netskope client?As far as I know, I can control a user to disable the client but this leaves the user the ability to kill the client process and thus navigate outside Netskope.

Can an Azure AD App Assign Specific Console Admin Roles?

Hi, I have the customer's Azure AD configured to allow admin access to the Netskope console via group membership, but all users who login have the tenant admin role by default. I know I can go in and change their individual roles manually but is there a way to create a new enterprise application that assigns the Security Admin role (or any other) by default instead? If so, can you please advise on the required config? Thanks.

MacOs Classification - Managed Device

Hi Netskope Community, I'm interested in obtaining further details about the processes required to differentiate between managed and unmanaged devices based on Netskope processes. My specific use case is that a device is considered "managed" when the Netskope processes specific to MacOS devices are detected. However, to proceed with the implementation, we must know the following details: 1. List of specific processes to be included. 2. The exact format in which process names for MacOS devices should appear (example: processname.format).

iOS + Android Classification (Managed)

Hi everybody, I'm interested in obtaining further details about the processes required to differentiate between managed and unmanaged devices based on PEM certificate for iOS Device and pair value-key for Android Device.  My specific use cases involve a device being considered "managed" when the certificate or this key-value pair is found by the netskope client. However, to proceed with the implementation, we must know the following details:Configuring iOS Devices with PEM Certificate - We are trying to configure managed iOS devices with a PEM certificate. I would like to know if I need to generate this certificate ad-hoc or if it is available on our MDM (Workspace ONE) or Netskope tenant. Also, I would like detailed instructions on how to configure iOS devices using Workspace ONE and on the Netskope console based on this scenario. Configuring Android Devices with Value and Key - We have entered the value-key into the MDM of Workspace ONE for Android devices. We would like to

SSPM : Monitoring Salesforce Delegated Group settings with SSPM

During the development of Netskope Next Generation SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM )  capabilities, one key decision was made to replicate the data models and resource relationships of the monitored systems as closely as possible with our graph-based engine. This choice has yielded a significant advantage, allowing us to swiftly adapt to changes and new features within the target systems represented in our model whenever the need arises.   An illustrative case is the management of Salesforce Delegated Group policies through SSPM. Delegated administration is a feature that permits Salesforce administrators to grant specific users (and user groups in the future) in designated roles the authority to manage users even profiles on their behalf. The Salesforce Spring ‘23 update introduced the ability to access Delegated Group Information via their API. This update allowed Netskope SSPM to add support for these resources, as managing delegated group policies pr

SSPM: Securing Google Workspace

Similar to our earlier showcasing of Microsoft365, AzureAD and Salesforce, we have decided to dive deep into the Google ecosystem for enterprise SaaS. We have recently added Google Workspace components to our SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management) solution.    Following suit with our other app-suites, customers that are on our SSPM platform will have access to filter and view their Google Workspace assets from the Inventory view, as well as out-of-the-box predefined rules, control mapping into a variety of compliance standards and domain categories, and the ability to execute custom queries and rules for continuous monitoring using Netskope Governance Language (NGL). Using the Google Workspace Admin-SDK as a source of truth, we pull all available information related to the following components:: - Domains - Roles and Privileges - RoleAssignments  - Third-party application tokens - Users ... with more on the way.   How do you find these attributes and components?

Essential 8 - Restrict Web Access for Admin Accounts

Good Afternoon folks We're pretty new to Netskope, so please excuse me if this is the wrong place for this question or if it's a particularly basic question, and we're going through the Eseential 8 security process at the moment. To that end, we're looking to prevent Admin accounts from being able to access the internet when logged into machines with Netskope installed. Is this something that Netskope is capable of? I'm assuming it's a policy that we can roll out to a created group of users? Thanks very much

Getting started with Netskope Governance Language (NGL) with Salesforce

Netskope’s new graph-powered SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) engine can help security analysts investigate root causes and identify repeating patterns for all kinds of security misconfigurations. To help one get started with the SSPM and the powerful queries made available by the Netskope Governance Language (NGL), we’ve collated this post to show you some easy sample investigations you can perform in Salesforce environments.   Netskope Governance Language (NGL) is a rule description language created by Netskope to allow for the most granular and specific expression of security policies. With NGL, enterprises can create policies that go beyond the traditional configuration value checks to express complex rule logic that take into account the unique needs of their business infrastructure. In this article, we'll show you how to use this language with some handy queries, rules and workflows you can easily copy and modify to the needs of your own organization. For more informa

Automated remediation in Azure

In this article we show how to set up an automatic remediation workflow in Azure, leveraging the APIs available in Netskope’s Cloud Security Posture Management. We’ll show how a security rule can be automatically remediated in Azure, and we’ll show how that remediation can happen  either based on a time trigger or a HTTP trigger.   This workflow can be used for many types of violation, in this article we will be considering the use case where we want to remedy a violation where an Azure key Vault does not have purge protection enabled.   The source code is available at https://github.com/netskopeoss/CSPM-Azure-AutoRemediation Setting Up   Netskope SPM detects violations for key vaults where purge protection is disabled as a part of the rule: Ensure KeyVault is recoverable. In this solution there are two Azure function apps involved. The first is a FetcherForKeyVaultRecoverableHTTP used for getting a list of violating resources from Netskope SPM. The second is a

To get to the Next Gen SSPM features and NGL from the Netskope main view, one needs to navigate to “API-enabled Protection -> Security Posture (Next Gen) -> Inventory” and click the icon on the right side of the filters toolbar. This opens up the NGL query tool which we will be using for the rest of the article.   The most basic use case for NGL would be to simply list resources by their type. Since NGL is a pattern matching language designed to identify which resources comply with a given criteria, we need to formulate our quer

Setting up IPSec Tunnels for AWS egress traffic

The guides linked to below illustrate how to configure Netskope IPSec tunnels with your AWS environment for egress traffic filtering and monitoring. This integration provides unmatched visibility and real-time data and threat protection for the traffic leaving your AWS environment. Steering your AWS egress traffic to the Netskope cloud allows you to apply full capabilities of the Netskope platform, including cloud network firewall, web content filtering, data leakage and threat protection, third-party risk protection, etc.   You can integrate your AWS environment with Netskope with the following methods: You can establish IPSec VPN tunnels with AWS Site-to-Site VPN between your AWS virtual private gateway, which is associated with a single Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Netskope Points of Presence (POPs). You must repeat this implementation for each Amazon VPC from which you’d like to steer traffic to the Netskope cloud. With this option, you can stream up to 250 Mbps o
