Zscaler ZS-DTA Online Questions & Answers

• Question 101:

  How can we protect the Zscaler Client Connector from unauthorized alterations to its files and registry settings?

  A. StrictEnforcement CLI Parameter of ZCC installation file
  B. TamperProofing options in Forwarding Profile
  C. AntiTampering CLI Parameter of ZCC installation file
  D. DisableTampering options in Forwarding Profile
  C. AntiTampering CLI Parameter of ZCC installation file

  ---

  Explanation

  The AntiTampering installation parameter activates Zscaler Client Connector's built-in tamper-protection capability, which locks down files, services, and registry entries so they cannot be modified or disabled by users or unauthorized processes.

• Question 102:

  As technology that exists for a very long period of time, has URL Filtering lost its effectiveness?

  A. URL Filter is the most commonly used web filtering technique in the arsenal. It acts as first line of defense.
  B. In a modern cloud world, access to all Internet sites and cloud applications should be granted by default. URL Filtering is no longer needed.
  C. URL Filtering has been replaced by CASB functionality through blocking access to all Internet sites and only allowing a few corporate applications.
  D. URL Filtering is outdated and no longer needed. The rise of HTTPS leads renders URL Filtering ineffective as all traffic is encrypted.
  A. URL Filter is the most commonly used web filtering technique in the arsenal. It acts as first line of defense.

  ---

  Explanation

  URL Filtering remains the most widely deployed web filtering method, serving as the first line of defense by categorizing and controlling access to websites before any deeper inspection or cloud#based security

  service takes over.

• Question 103:

  How does ZDX computes the score for an application?

  A. Zscaler takes all the users that accessed the application for the selected time period and finds the lowest value each user would have experienced for the application. The lowest values for each user are added together and divided by the number of users.
  B. Zscaler considers a single user that accessed the application for the selected time period and finds the lowest value that user would have experienced for the application. The lowest values for that user are added together and divided by the number of all users in the organization.
  C. Zscaler takes sample set of users that accessed the application for the selected time period and finds the lowest value each user would have experienced for the application. The lowest values for each user are added together and divided by the number of sample set of users.
  D. Zscaler takes the lowest value for each application for a set of users, for time intervals based on the selected time range. The application with the lowest value represents your applications score for that time interval.
  A. Zscaler takes all the users that accessed the application for the selected time period and finds the lowest value each user would have experienced for the application. The lowest values for each user are added together and divided by the number of users.

  ---

  Explanation

  ZDX calculates an application score by identifying the lowest experience value each user encountered for that application in the selected time range and then averaging those lowest values across all users who accessed the application.

• Question 104:

  An administrator needs temporary elevated access for a planned maintenance window.

  Which approach minimizes ongoing privilege?

  A. Assign permanent unrestricted access before maintenance begins
  B. Share an existing privileged user's credentials
  C. Add the administrator to every service group
  D. Grant a time-bounded scoped role and remove it when the work is complete
  D. Grant a time-bounded scoped role and remove it when the work is complete

  ---

  Explanation

  Temporary, scoped elevation limits both duration and capability to the maintenance need. Permanent or shared access creates privilege that extends beyond the approved work.

• Question 105:

  Is SCIM required for ZIA?

  A. Depends
  B. Maybe
  C. No
  D. Yes
  C. No

  ---

  Explanation

  SCIM is optional for ZIA user provisioning - you can onboard users via manual CSV import, SAML attributes, or other identity integrations without implementing SCIM.

• Question 106:

  A Zscaler Client Connector App Profile is configured to apply a Forwarding Profile that forwards all traffic to the Zero Trust Exchange using Z-Tunnel 2.0.

  If a change is made to the Logout password in the App Profile, how long will it be before the new logout password is in effect?

  A. Policy updates happen in real time, so the new logout password is in effect as soon as the change is saved.
  B. The new logout password will be in effect after the Activate button is clicked in the Admin portal.
  C. The new logout password will be in effect after the user clicks Update Policy on the client.
  D. Policy updates occur every 60 minutes, so the logout password will be in effect after the next scheduled update.
  D. Policy updates occur every 60 minutes, so the logout password will be in effect after the next scheduled update.

  ---

  Explanation

  Zscaler Client Connector automatically polls for policy updates every 60 minutes, so any change - such as a new logout password - takes effect when the client's next scheduled refresh occurs.

• Question 107:

  An organization sends Zscaler logs to a central monitoring platform.

  Which practice provides the strongest audit value?

  A. Allow all users to edit collected records
  B. Remove administrator identities before records are reviewed
  C. Preserve timestamps and identity context, restrict access, and monitor delivery failures
  D. Stop local audit collection as soon as forwarding is configured
  C. Preserve timestamps and identity context, restrict access, and monitor delivery failures

  ---

  Explanation

  Reliable delivery and preserved context support investigation, while access controls protect record integrity.

  Forwarding does not justify editable records or the loss of local audit visibility.

• Question 108:

  You've configured the API connection to automatically download Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) labels into ZIA; where will you use these imported labels to protect sensitive data in motion?

  A. Creating a custom DLP Dictionary
  B. Creating a SaaS Security Posture Control Policy.
  C. Creating a File Type Control Policy.
  D. Creating a custom DLP Policy.
  D. Creating a custom DLP Policy.

  ---

  Explanation

  Imported MIP labels are applied as matching criteria within a custom DLP Policy, letting ZIA inspect data in motion and enforce actions (block, quarantine, notify) based on the sensitivity label assigned by Microsoft Information Protection.

• Question 109:

  Which type of attack plants malware on commonly accessed services?

  A. Remote access trojans
  B. Phishing
  C. Exploit kits
  D. Watering hole attack
  D. Watering hole attack

  ---

  Explanation

  A Watering Hole Attack is characterized by attackers planting malware on websites or services that are commonly accessed by their intended victims. The goal is to infect users who visit these trusted sites by injecting malicious code or malware. This type of attack leverages the trust users place in frequently visited services to deliver malware covertly.

  Other options like Remote Access Trojans, Phishing, and Exploit Kits are attack types but do not specifically involve compromising commonly accessed services to plant malware.

• Question 110:

  Does the Access Control suite include features that prevent lateral movement?

  A. No. Access Control Services will only control access to the Internet and cloud applications.
  B. Yes. Controls for segmentation and conditional access are part of the Access Control Services.
  C. Yes. The Cloud Firewall will detect network segments and provide conditional access.
  D. No. The endpoint firewall will detect network segments and steer access.
  B. Yes. Controls for segmentation and conditional access are part of the Access Control Services.

  ---

  Explanation

  Yes, the Access Control suite includes controls for segmentation and conditional access, which are designed to prevent lateral movement within networks. These features allow organizations to restrict access between different segments and enforce policies that limit the spread of threats or unauthorized access within internal environments.
