Netskope is a cloud security platform that identifies a variety of events related to cloud service usage and malware events. InsightIDR supports the following alert and event types from Netskope, via Syslog:

  • Anomaly
  • DLP
  • Malware
  • Policy
  • Compromised Credential
  • Malsite
  • Quarantine
  • Remediation
  • Security Assessment
  • Application
  • Page
  • Audit
  • Network

To set up Netskope:

  1. Review Before you Begin and note any requirements.
  2. Set up the event source in InsightIDR.
  3. Verify the configuration works.

Before you begin

Netskope’s integration with Insight IDR is enabled by Cloud Logs Shipper, which pulls logs from their APIs and forwards them via Syslog, in CEF format. In order to configure this event source, you will need to contact the Netskope account team to get Cloud Log Shipper.

Set up Netskope in InsightIDR

  1. From the left menu, go to Data Collection.
  2. When the Data Collection page appears, click the Setup Event Source dropdown and choose Add Event Source.
  3. From the Third Party Alerts section, click the Netskope icon. The Add Event Source panel appears.
  4. Choose your collector and event source. You can also name your event source if you want.
  5. If you are sending additional events beyond alerts, select the unfiltered logs checkbox.
  6. Select an attribution source.
  7. Specify an unused port on the Collector that can receive forwarded Netskope events.
  8. Choose the protocol you used when setting up Netskope. TCP is their default protocol.
  9. Click Save.

Attribution source options

Netskope product logs can contain information about hosts and accounts. When setting up Netskope as an event source, you will have the ability to specify the following attribution options:

  1. Use IDR engine if possible; if not, use event log

By selecting this option, the InsightIDR attribution engine will perform attribution using the source address present in the log lines. If it's unable to resolve assets or accounts using the source address, it will use the assets or accounts present in the log lines, if any.

  1. Use event log if possible; if not, use IDR engine

By selecting this option, attribution will be done using the assets and accounts present in the log lines. If no assets or accounts are present in the log lines, the InsightIDR attribution engine will perform attribution using the source address present in the log lines.

  1. Use IDR engine only

By selecting this option, the InsightIDR attribution engine will perform the attribution using the source address present in the log lines, ignoring any assets and accounts present in the log lines.

  1. Use event log only

By selecting this option, attribution will be done using the assets and accounts present in the log lines, ignoring the source address.

Verify the configuration

Complete the following steps to view your logs and ensure events are making it to the Collector.

  1. From the left menu, click Log Search to view your raw logs to ensure events are making it to the Collector. Select the applicable Log Sets and the Log Names within them. The Log Name will be the event source name. Netskope logs flow into the following Log Sets:
  • Third Party Alerts
  • Web Proxy Activity
  • Virus Alert
  • Virus Infection
  • Ingress Authentication
  • Firewall Activity
  1. Next, click Log Search in the left menu to make sure Netskope events are coming through.

Logs take a minimum of 7 minutes to appear in Log Search

Please note that logs take at least 7 minutes to appear in Log Search after you set up the event source. If you see log messages when you select View Raw Log on the event source but do not see any log messages in Log Search after waiting for a few minutes for them to appear, then your logs do not match the recommended format and type for this event source.
