Zscaler ZS-DTA Online Questions & Answers

• Question 21:

  Which attack type is characterized by a commonly used website or service that has malicious content like malicious JavaScript running on it?

  A. Watering Hole Attack
  B. Pre-existing Compromise
  C. Phishing Attack
  D. Exploit Kits
  A. Watering Hole Attack

  ---

  Explanation

  A Watering Hole Attack targets users by compromising a website or service that is commonly visited by the intended victims. The attacker injects malicious content such as malicious JavaScript or malware into the website, so when the user visits the site, their system gets infected. This attack relies on the trust users have in popular or legitimate websites and exploits it by turning those sites into infection vectors. Pre-existing Compromise refers to attacks where the target environment is already compromised before the attack is recognized, but it does not specifically describe malicious content injected into popular websites. Phishing Attack involves deceiving users to click malicious links or reveal credentials, not compromising websites directly. Exploit Kits are automated tools that scan for vulnerabilities and deliver exploits but are not characterized by the use of commonly used websites hosting malicious scripts. The study guide clearly explains Watering Hole Attacks as a method where attackers infect trusted websites frequented by target users to deliver malicious payloads.

• Question 22:

  From a user perspective, Zscaler Bandwidth Control performs traffic shaping and buffering on what direction (s) of traffic?

  A. Outbound traffic is shaped. Inbound or localhost traffic is unshaped.
  B. Outbound or inbound traffic is shaped. Localhost traffic is unshaped.
  C. Inbound traffic is shaped. Outbound or localhost traffic is unshaped.
  D. Localhost traffic is shaped. Outbound or Inbound traffic is unshaped.
  A. Outbound traffic is shaped. Inbound or localhost traffic is unshaped.

  ---

  Explanation

  Zscaler Bandwidth Control shapes and buffers only the outbound traffic from the user's device, ensuring smooth egress flow, while inbound and localhost traffic remain unshaped.

• Question 23:

  What does Allow Cascading Enabled allow for?

  A. It ensures both Cloud App Control and URL Filtering Rules are applied.
  B. It ensures both Cloud App Control and File Type Control Rules are applied.
  C. It ensures both Cloud App Control and Bandwidth Control Rules are applied.
  D. It ensures both Cloud App Control and DLP Rules are applied.
  A. It ensures both Cloud App Control and URL Filtering Rules are applied.

  ---

  Explanation

  Allow Cascading Enabled ensures that Cloud App Control policies are evaluated together with URL Filtering rules, allowing both policy types to apply to the same traffic flow.

• Question 24:

  Which Zscaler feature detects whether an intruder is accessing your internal resources?

  A. SandBox
  B. SSL Decryption Bypass
  C. Browser Isolation
  D. Deception
  D. Deception

  ---

  Explanation

  The Deception feature in Zscaler detects intruders attempting to access internal resources by deploying deceptive assets or traps that identify unauthorized or suspicious activity. This proactive approach to threat detection helps identify attackers who have bypassed other defenses.

• Question 25:

  SSH use or tunneling was detected and blocked by which feature?

  A. Cloud Agg Control
  B. URL Filtering
  C. Advanced Threat Protection D Mobile Malware Protection
  A. Cloud Agg Control

  ---

  Explanation

  SSH tunneling falls under unsanctioned protocol use, which Zscaler's Cloud App Control feature detects via deep packet inspection and then blocks according to policy.

• Question 26:

  Is SCIM mandatory for ZIA?

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

  ---

  Explanation

  No, SCIM is not mandatory for Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), but it is the recommended standard for user provisioning and management, offering a more efficient and automated way to handle user identities compared to other methods like LDAP-based synchronization.

• Question 27:

  When configuring Zscaler Private Access, what is the function of the Server Group?

  A. Maps FQDNs to IP Addresses
  B. Maps Applications to FQDNs
  C. Maps App Connector Groups to Application Segments
  D. Maps Applications to Application Groups
  A. Maps FQDNs to IP Addresses

  ---

  Explanation

  A Server Group holds the actual backend endpoints - defined by FQDNs (or IPs) and ports - and effectively maps those FQDNs to their IP addresses so ZPA knows which hosts to steer traffic toward.

• Question 28:

  Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are a type of injection, in which malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign and trusted websites.

  XSS includes which of the following?

  A. Spyware Callback
  B. Anonymizers
  C. Cookie Stealing
  D. IRC Tunneling
  C. Cookie Stealing

  ---

  Explanation

  Cross#Site Scripting enables attackers to run malicious JavaScript in a user's browser - often used to steal session cookies and hijack user sessions, a technique known as cookie stealing.

• Question 29:

  An administrator recently deployed an additional App Connector to and existing app connector group.

  What does the administrator need to do before starting the zpa-connector service?

  A. Copy the group provisioning key to /opt/zscaler/var/provision_key
  B. Monitor the peak CPU and memory utilization of the AC
  C. Schedule periodic software updates for the app connector group
  D. Check the status of the new App Connector in the administration portal
  A. Copy the group provisioning key to /opt/zscaler/var/provision_key

  ---

  Explanation

  Before you start the zpa-connector service on the new host, you must place the App Connector Group's provisioning key into /opt/zscaler/var/provision_key so it can register with the control plane.

• Question 30:

  Which of the following can be used as Trusted Network criteria in Zscaler Client Connector?

  A. DNS Server, DHCP Server and Hostname/IP
  B. DHCP Server, DNS Search Domain and Hostname/IP
  C. Hostname/IP, DNS Server and DNS Search Domain
  D. Hostname/IP, DNS Search Domain and DHCP Server
  C. Hostname/IP, DNS Server and DNS Search Domain

  ---

  Explanation

  Trusted Network detection in Zscaler Client Connector relies on evaluating the device's local network attributes, specifically the DNS server, DNS search domain, and the gateway's hostname/IP, allowing the client to determine when it is on a trusted corporate network.
