Netskope Explained - CASB Granular Application Controls

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on creating cloud application and activity-based controls using Netskope. In this session, we explore the importance of these controls through a practical scenario where the misuse of unsanctioned cloud storage applications could lead to serious security breaches and non-compliance with regulations such as GDPR. By using Netskope, we demonstrate how to prevent such risks by establishing robust policies that control and monitor cloud application usage within your organisation.

We begin by configuring a real-time protection policy to block unauthorised cloud storage services while ensuring that sanctioned applications, like Google Drive, function seamlessly. You’ll learn how to leverage Netskope’s Cloud Confidence Index (CCI) to manage complex configurations efficiently, and how to implement fine-tuned controls that balance security with user convenience. This guide also covers advanced scenarios, such as creating exceptions for key personnel and customising actions based on specific user activities, ensuring your organisation remains secure without hindering productivity.
