Lab 2: Safely Enable Cloud Applications

Steer traffic to Netskope, filter web usage, implement granular control of cloud apps, enable real-time user coaching

OVERVIEW

In addition to growing web usage, many enterprises have rolled out a variety of cloud storage applications for use such as OneDrive, Google Drive, or DropBox plus collaboration apps such as Teams and Slack. The steps you will walk through can be used to secure web traffic and also both managed + unmanaged cloud apps.

Applicable Use Cases

• Standard Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

  • define your URL filter

• Advanced Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

  • Create category and context-based policies (Risk based with CCI)

• Control access to specific sanctioned applications

• Data Protection (various use cases)

Prerequisites

• Access and credentials to the Netskope tenant ([https://csw2-emea.eu.goskope.com/])

• Use the same admin credentials as before.

• Ability to install the Netskope client on AWS Workspaces or your local machine

WALKTHROUGH

In this part of the lab, you act as an administrator, enrolling a new user in Netskope, and installing the Netskope Steering Client onto your machine. Once installed, this application will forward your http and https traffic to Netskope cloud servers for inspection. You will attempt to access webmail after installation then control access to the cloud storage service OneDrive.

NOTE By utilizing deployment software (SCCM, JAMF, Airwatch, etc.), you can deploy the agent on every computer/device of your domain automatically. In this exercise, you will install the endpoint application manually via email.
