Category Feature Detailed Description and Benefits
API Protection Microsoft Office 365 Teams The Netskope Activity Feeds for Teams app is updated with three additional permissions.
They are:
  1. Chat.ReadBasic.All: Required for chat members and exposure.
  2. Chat.ReadWrite.All: Required to send alerts in chat. This API is not in use. Netskope may support this API in future use cases.
  3. Files.ReadWrite.All: Required for malware threat protection (quarantine and tombstone).
Existing customers using the malware feature for Microsoft Office 365 Teams must regrant the Microsoft Office 365 Teams app instance in the Netskope tenant UI for the new permissions to take effect.
API Protection Security Compliance Report for Salesforce Netskope has introduced a new app in Salesforce AppExchange called Netskope Security Cloud. This app generates a custom compliance report in Salesforce. The compliance report enables IT and Salesforce administrators to stay in launcher and get a quick interactive snapshot of Salesforce users and their interaction data inside Salesforce that violated data governance policy as configured on your Netskope tenant.
API Protection Improved UX for Introspection Dashboard for Gmail Users can use the new look and design for the API Protection dashboard to view data and drill into tables.
API Protection Improved UX for Introspection Dashboard for Outlook Users can use the new look and design for the API Protection dashboard to view data and drill into tables.
Behavior Analytics User Risk UI Support for Sort on the Incidents Details View Added capability to list a user's incidents sorted by score reduction, biggest on the top.
Directory Services SCIM Users Removed from the UI Deactivated SCIM users are removed from Netskope by default.
Note: This change is effective for new deactivate user requests posted AFTER release 77, not for already deactivated users.

What is the change in release 77?
Before release 77, SCIM deactivated users showed up in the Netskope UI by default.
Directory Services Netskope Adapters The Netskope Adapter (NS Adapter) has been tested to ensure compatibility with the current cloud platform. Its version number has been updated to confirm this compatibility.
No other changes have been made to the NS Adapter in this release.
Netskope for IaaS Storage Page Owner Information For AWS S3Bucket and Azure Storage Account, IaaS storage page shows the Owner information.
This is shown in the table as comma-separated values and the side panel (clicking the table row) shows below the Size information.
The same is shown when admins export the table and when using the inventory REST API.
Netskope for IaaS Raw Findings Page Export Users see Remediation Steps in the IaaS Raw findings page export.
NG SWG / CASB Inline Policy Groups With this release, Inline policies now support up to 512 Groups and OUs in SSL Decrypt Policies and Real Time Protection Policies combined. Previously this limit was 256.
Note: This change does not work for accounts using the Appliance solution until they upgrade to an Appliance version having this change for Proxy. Appliance users can create and save a policy with more than 256 groups, but on load such policies cause the older Proxy software (versions before release 77) to Assert. The Assert is a rolling one until the policy is updated back to have the number of Groups/OUs to be less than or equal to 256.
NG SWG / CASB Alert / Allow Policy Change Real-time protection policies with action selected to "Alert" for activity "Browse," does not generate alert events.
Steering Netskope Client Fail-close Support The Netskope Client has been enhanced so administrators can now configure the Client to fail-close when one of the following conditions is met:
  • When a tunnel to the Netskope Cloud is not established.
OR
  • When a user on the device is not provisioned in the Netskope Cloud.
When the Client fail-closes,
  • All outbound connectivity to websites and apps is blocked.
  • Domain-based, IP-based, and Cert-pinned exceptions are honored when the Client is in fail-close mode.
  • Category-based exceptions are blocked.
  • RFC 1918 IP Addresses are allowlisted by default when in fail-close mode.
  • When fail-close is enabled with on-premises detection, and the user is detected to be on-premises, the exceptions in the Steering Configuration are not honored (and that traffic is blocked).
Administrators can temporarily remove users from this condition from the admin console, as well.
Administrators can control the behavior of Netskope Private Access independently to not disrupt traffic for Private Apps.
Threat Protection Client Traffic Exploit Protection (CTEP) for Preventing Network Based Exploits In this release, a new capability called Client Traffic Exploit Protection (CTEP) has been added.
CTEP is an inline Netskope threat protection defense that allows you to build policies to examine network web traffic flow for vulnerabilities and prevent malicious exploits. When building such policies, you can start with a monitor mode and eventually take enforcement action to block potentially malicious web traffic.
To leverage CTEP, contact your customer experience team to turn on the functionality.
