What are two uses for deploying a Netskope Virtual Appliance? (Choose two.)

Ato use as a log parser to discover in-use cloud applications

Bto use as a local reverse proxy to secure a SaaS application

Cto use as an endpoint for Netskope Private Access (NPA)

Dto use as a secure way to generate Exact Data Match hashes

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

Deploying a Netskope Virtual Appliance (NPA) can serve multiple purposes within an organization's security infrastructure. Two key uses are:

To use as a log parser to discover in-use cloud applications:

The Netskope Virtual Appliance can be deployed to parse logs from various sources, including firewalls, proxies, and other network devices. By analyzing these logs, the appliance can discover and identify cloud applications that are being used within the network. This provides visibility into shadow IT and helps in managing and securing cloud application usage.

To use as an endpoint for Netskope Private Access (NPA):

The virtual appliance can act as an endpoint for Netskope Private Access, enabling secure access to private applications hosted in data centers or public clouds. It facilitates the establishment of secure, direct connections between users and the applications they need to access, without exposing the applications to the public internet.

Really? A as a log parser? Sounds a bit off.

I think generating Exact Data Match hashes was mentioned in our study materials, but I’m not confident if it’s a primary use for the virtual appliance.

I feel like I saw something about using it for log parsing, but I can't recall if that was specific to Netskope or another tool.

I remember practicing a question about using it as an endpoint for Netskope Private Access, so that might be one of the answers.

I think one of the uses is as a local reverse proxy for securing SaaS applications, but I'm not entirely sure about the other option.

Option C looks like the way to go here. Intercepting the SearchCriteria processing and applying the filter there seems like the cleanest solution. I'd focus on getting that plugin set up correctly.

Okay, I think I've got this. Virtual network peering is the way to go here - it allows the two networks to communicate directly without the need for additional VPN or routing infrastructure, which should minimize the costs. I'll recommend that option.

Definitely A and D. The virtual appliance is all about securing access and network control, not about discovery. That's what the cloud service is for.

The Netskope Virtual Appliance as a local reverse-proxy to secure a SaaS application and as a Secure Forwarder to steer traffic - that makes total sense to me.
