|
| Advanced Analytics | New Dimension | The following new dimensions are available with this release:
|
| Advanced Analytics | Country Name | With this release, country name is available in the Source country and Destination country fields. |
| Behavior Analytics | Anomalies rules are now read only | With this release, Anomalies rules are now read-only and can no longer be edited or changed. They should only be disabled as they are migrated to policies in Behavior Analytics. Until they are disabled, alerts are seen for both Anomalies rules and Behavior analytics. |
| Behavior Analytics | Enhancements to the user related columns | Username is no longer embedded in the Behavior Analytics incident description. The Acting User column is always shown next to the incident description and is subject to obfuscation. |
| Data Protection | Multi-label image classification | In this release, three additional ML-based Image classifiers have been added. Admins can build out a file classification policy for:
|
| Data Protection | File Filter file extension | File Profile has been updated to allow file type search based on file extensions. This makes it easier to search for and specify file types of interest in a File Profile. |
| 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 | Multi-select filters for Compliance Standard | Enhanced the Reports Compliance Standard Filter to multi-select as follows:
|
| NG SWG / CASB | Chromebook verified access | The Chromebook verified access feature provides the ability to differentiate enrolled Chromebook logins compared to unenrolled Chromebook logins. Admins can block unenrolled logins. This is for the reverse-proxy method only. Contact support to enable this feature in your account. For more information, reference How to Get Support for Netskope. |
| Other Services (UI, API etc.) | Add new categories for CASB apps | New categories have been added for CASB apps for better mapping of the application with its closest category.
|
| Private Access | Network Events support for Advanced Analytics | We have added support for Private Access Network Events to be in the Advanced Analytics reports. |
| Private Access | Network Events displays the Private App name in SkopeIT | Private Access Network Events now specifies the Private App name in the SkopeIT Application Name field. Previously, the Application Name field contained the hostname of the Private App being accessed. This hostname value has been moved to the Destination Host field. |
| Private Access | Improved Private Access Client logging | Private Access Client logging has been updated to match the logging level of the Netskope Client and default to Info level logging. |
| Private Access | Docker host networking enhancement | The Private Access Publisher configuration uses docker host networking. To avoid contention with some private app configurations, this update disables docker bridge networking on the Publisher which could interfere with some Private App IP ranges. |
| Private Access | Log level configuration enhancement | This Private Access Publisher release includes additional log level configuration functionality to assist with troubleshooting. |
| Private Access | Troubleshooting functionality enhancement | The Private Access Publisher has been enhanced with troubleshooting functionality to assist customers with investigating deployed instances. |
| REST API | Public Cloud API for Storage Constraint Profile | Admins are now able to view bucket list, replace bucket list, append to bucket list, delete from bucket list, and modify bucket list using the storage_constraint_profile API if there is more than one custom storage constraint profile.In the past, admins were not able to perform any of the previously mentioned actions if they created more than one custom storage constraint profile using the UI. This rule was added to ensure that the backend system did not get overwhelmed. Now that the backend system has matured, the rule has been removed. |
| Steering | Netskope Client log level | Netskope Client log level can be controlled using a new log option available under the Web UI client configuration. |
| Steering | Netskope Client Golden Release | Release 84 is the current golden release of the Netskope Client. For information about supported platforms, see Netskope Client System Requirements. |
| Steering | Netskope Client UPN file preference | Netskope Client adds the ability to get the UPN from the preference file instead of the Active Directory. Admins can specify the preference file name so that the Netskope Client reads the UPN from the file. The Netskope Client gets the UPN from the Active Directory if the preference file is not specified. |
| Web UI | Last Updated Field | With this release, the "Last Updated" field in all Introspection pages is no longer visible. However, users can still see the "Last Updated" field in the Files Page and dashboard. |
| Cloud Provider | Entity | Attribute |

| Issue Number | Category | Feature | Issue Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 122949 | NG SWG / CASB | Alerts enhancement | Corrected a severe inefficiency in the global hash code. The hash hits, under load, are triggering the watchdog. |
| 2620 | Private Access | Improved TCP connections | The Private Access Publisher has been enhanced with improved handling of TCP connection delays, which in some limited cases previously would have prevented connectivity to the Netskope Cloud. |
| 2787 | Private Access | Netskope Client connections interrupted | Private Access Client connections could be prematurely ended due to an internal error state. |
| 2698 | Private Access | Netskope Client is incorrectly shown as disabled | The NPA Troubleshooter could incorrectly show the Private Access Client as disabled when the Netskope Client had been reinstalled in perusermode. |
| 1547 | Private Access | Periodic Re-Authentication | If Private Access was Enabled and configured for Periodic Re-Authentication, but disabled in the Steering Configuration for a device, the NPA Client would incorrectly display an option to "Re-authenticate for Private Apps". |
| Issue Number | Category | Feature | Issue Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 122436 | API Protection | Google Drive File Notification | If a user views a file immediately after uploading, Netskope receives the view event notification only, not the upload notification from Google Drive. This is a known issue in Google Workspace basic/limited account. Since this is a basic/limited account, Netskope skips the view event notification. This issue is not observed in Google Workspace enterprise/unlimited account. |
