Zscaler ZS-DTA Online Practice Questions and Exam Preparation

Zscaler ZS-DTA Online Questions & Answers

• Question 121:

  Zscaler Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is a key capability within Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), protecting users against attacks such as phishing.

  Which of the following is NOT part of the ATP workflow?

  A. IPS coverages for client-side and server-side
  B. Reporting high latency from the CEO's Teams call due to a low WiFi signal
  C. Comprehensive URL categories for newly registered domains
  D. Preventing the download of a password protected zip file
  B. Reporting high latency from the CEO's Teams call due to a low WiFi signal

  ---

  Explanation

  The ATP workflow focuses on protecting users from security threats such as phishing, malware, and malicious URLs through mechanisms including IPS coverage on client and server sides, categorization of URLs (especially newly registered domains), and prevention of risky file downloads like password-protected zip files. However, reporting on network performance issues such as high latency on a Teams call caused by low WiFi signal is outside the scope of ATP. This type of issue relates to digital experience or network performance monitoring, not threat protection.

• Question 122:

  A quarterly access review finds an administrative role that no longer has a documented owner or business purpose.

  What should be done?

  A. Expand the role so more teams can use it
  B. Keep the role indefinitely because it may be useful later
  C. Remove or disable the unnecessary assignment after following the approval process
  D. Replace the role with a shared local credential
  C. Remove or disable the unnecessary assignment after following the approval process

  ---

  Explanation

  An unjustified privileged assignment should not remain active. Controlled removal reduces excess access while preserving the organization's change and approval record.

• Question 123:

  When configuring a ZDX custom application and choosing Type: 'Network' and completing the configuration by defining the necessary probe(s), which performance metrics will an administrator NOT get for users after enabling the application?

  A. Server Response Time
  B. ZDX Score
  C. Client Gateway IP Address
  D. Disk I/O
  D. Disk I/O

  ---

  Explanation

  When a ZDX custom application is configured with the type set to 'Network', the administrator will not get Disk I/O metrics for users. Disk I/O metrics relate to local client device performance and are not part of network-type application probes which focus on network latency, server response, and other network-centric measurements.

  The study guide notes that Disk I/O is part of endpoint-level monitoring and is not collected by network-type probes, unlike metrics such as Server Response Time or ZDX Score which are network related.

• Question 124:

  Which step has a default frequency of two hours in the Zscaler client connector process?

  A. Policy update check
  B. File Download
  C. Software update policy check
  D. Refresh on Network Changes
  C. Software update policy check

  ---

  Explanation

  The software update policy check in Zscaler Client Connector runs on a default two-hour interval, allowing the client to periodically verify whether a new software version is available while keeping policy checks on their separate, more frequent schedule.

• Question 125:

  What does Advanced Threat Protection defend users from?

  A. Vulnerable JavaScripts
  B. Large iFrames
  C. Malicious active content
  D. Command injection attacks
  C. Malicious active content

  ---

  Explanation

  Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) defends users from malicious active content, which includes malware, exploit kits, malicious scripts, and other forms of active content designed to compromise user systems. ATP employs multiple techniques such as sandboxing, malware scanning, and threat intelligence to detect and block these threats before they reach the user.

• Question 126:

  Which is an example of Inline Data Protection?

  A. Preventing the copying of a sensitive document to a USB drive.
  B. Preventing the sharing of a sensitive document in OneDrive.
  C. Analyzing a customer's M365 tenant for security best practices.
  D. Blocking the attachment of a sensitive document in webmail.
  D. Blocking the attachment of a sensitive document in webmail.

  ---

  Explanation

  Inline Data Protection is the process of inspecting data as it transits the network in real time, enforcing policies that prevent sensitive data from being leaked or transmitted improperly. Blocking the attachment of a sensitive document in webmail represents inline data protection because it intercepts and controls data transmission at the network level, stopping sensitive content before it leaves the organization. Preventing copying to a USB drive is endpoint control and does not happen inline in network traffic. Preventing sharing in OneDrive is cloud access security broker (CASB) activity, often done through API integrations, not inline network control. Analyzing M365 tenant security is an audit or advisory activity, not real-time inline protection.

  Therefore, the correct example of inline data protection in Zscaler's cloud security services is blocking the attachment of a sensitive document in webmail.

• Question 127:

  Which of the following is an open standard used to provide automatic updates of a user's group and department information?

  A. Import
  B. LDAP Sync
  C. SCIM
  D. SAML
  C. SCIM

  ---

  Explanation

  SCIM (System for Cross#domain Identity Management) is the open standard API designed for automated provisioning and ongoing synchronization of users' attributes, such as group and department, between identity providers and service platforms.

• Question 128:

  If you're migrating from an on-premises proxy, you will already have a proxy setting configured within the browser or within the system.

  With Tunnel Mode, the best practice is to configure what type of proxy configuration?

  A. Execute a GPO update to retrieve the proxy settings from AD.
  B. Enforce no Proxy Configuration.
  C. Use Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD) to auto-configure the proxy.
  D. Use an automatic configuration script (forwarding PAC file).
  B. Enforce no Proxy Configuration.

• Question 129:

  Which list of protocols is supported by Zscaler for Privileged Remote Access?

  A. RDP, VNC and SSH
  B. RDP, SSH and DHCP
  C. SSH, DNS and DHCP
  D. RDP, DNS and VNC
  A. RDP, VNC and SSH

  ---

  Explanation

  Zscaler supports RDP, VNC, and SSH protocols for Privileged Remote Access. These are commonly used protocols for remote management and privileged user sessions, allowing secure access to internal applications or systems without exposing the network or requiring VPN connections. The study guide clearly states that Privileged Remote Access capabilities focus on these protocols to ensure secure, monitored, and controlled remote sessions for administrators and privileged users, supporting remote desktop and shell access securely.

• Question 130:

  Operations staff manage several Zscaler services and sometimes open the wrong console during incidents.

  Which practice most improves reliable navigation?

  A. Give every operator the highest administrative role
  B. Use one local user account for all operators
  C. Maintain service-specific runbooks that identify the owning console and tenant
  D. Disable sign-on policies during incident response
  C. Maintain service-specific runbooks that identify the owning console and tenant

  ---

  Explanation

  A service-specific runbook provides a repeatable path to the correct administrative context. Excess privileges and shared accounts weaken control without resolving navigation errors.
