Zscaler ZS-DTA Online Practice Questions and Exam Preparation

Zscaler ZS-DTA Online Questions & Answers

• Question 31:

  Which Advanced Threat Protection feature restricts website access by geographic location?

  A. Spyware Callback
  B. Botnet Protection
  C. Blocked Countries
  D. Browser Exploits
  C. Blocked Countries

  ---

  Explanation

  The "Blocked Countries" feature in Advanced Threat Protection lets you restrict access to web destinations based on their geographic location, preventing connections to any sites hosted in the specified countries.

• Question 32:

  What is a seed in Asset Discovery in External Attack Surface Management?

  A. A seed is a legitimate asset provided by the organization, such as a known domain, IP address, or IP block, which serves as the starting point for discovery.
  B. A seed is a legitimate asset that can be used by the organization to perform data discovery based on which the organization can identify which user is accessing sanctioned or unsanctioned application.
  C. A seed is a legitimate asset provided by the organization, which can be used by the users to access websites that are not mission or business critical for the organization.
  D. A seed is a legitimate asset that acts as a decoy, deployed by the organization. And once the attacker reaches the seed, it results in notifications getting triggered and subsequent actions being taken as defined in the Deception portal.
  A. A seed is a legitimate asset provided by the organization, such as a known domain, IP address, or IP block, which serves as the starting point for discovery.

  ---

  Explanation

  In External Attack Surface Management, a seed is an organization-supplied known asset (such as a domain, IP address, or IP range) that serves as the initial reference point from which Zscaler begins discovering the full external asset footprint.

• Question 33:

  You are planning to use Z-Tunnel 2.0 as the forwarding mechanism in order to support any TCP. UDP, or ICMP traffic going to ZIA.

  What type of tunnel will Zscaler Client Connector form with the Zero Trust Exchange?

  A. TLS with fallback to DTLS
  B. DTLS with fallback to TLS
  C. TLS with fallback to IPSEC
  D. DTLS with fallback to IPSEC
  B. DTLS with fallback to TLS

  ---

  Explanation

  Z-Tunnel 2.0 uses Datagram TLS (DTLS) as its primary transport protocol and automatically falls back to TLS over TCP if DTLS connectivity fails or is blocked.

• Question 34:

  How does Zscaler ensure that sensitive structured data used in the EDM process is not stored in its cloud environment?

  A. By storing sensitive structured data on servers managed by trusted Zscaler staff for enhanced security.
  B. By using an on-premises VM to index data and only sending hashed values to the cloud.
  C. By requiring customers to manually hash the data and upload it to the cloud.
  D. By encrypting sensitive data directly before storing it in the cloud.
  B. By using an on-premises VM to index data and only sending hashed values to the cloud.

  ---

  Explanation

  The EDM process uses an on-premises indexing engine that converts the customer's sensitive structured data into hashed, nonreversible tokens. Only these hashed values are sent to Zscaler, ensuring the original sensitive data never leaves the customer environment.

• Question 35:

  Zscaler detection and response alerts can be forwarded to external systems through which methods?

  A. Only via command-line scripts
  B. Manual log downloads uploaded to external tools
  C. Built-in Zscaler-only tools with no external integrations
  D. Email or webhook support to third-party applications
  D. Email or webhook support to third-party applications

  ---

  Explanation

  Zscaler supports forwarding detection and response alerts to external systems through email or webhook integrations, enabling automated ingestion by third-party platforms.

• Question 36:

  An organization wants its directory to remain authoritative for user and group membership.

  Which operating practice supports that goal?

  A. Maintain independent membership lists in every service
  B. Let users choose their own security groups
  C. Make routine membership changes in the source directory and synchronize them
  D. Use shared accounts instead of individual identities
  C. Make routine membership changes in the source directory and synchronize them

  ---

  Explanation

  Managing membership in the authoritative directory creates a consistent lifecycle and allows synchronized services to follow it. Independent lists are more likely to drift.

• Question 37:

  When configuring Applications to be monitored, what probe types can be created?

  A. Page Fetch Time Probe and Cloud Path Probe
  B. Web Probe and Page Fetch Time Probe
  C. Page Fetch Time Probe and Server Response time Probe
  D. Web Probe and Cloud Path Probe
  D. Web Probe and Cloud Path Probe

  ---

  Explanation

  When you set up application monitoring in ZDX, you can create Web Probes to measure application performance from the browser and Cloud Path Probes to map and monitor the network path to those applications.

• Question 38:

  How frequently does the Zscaler Client Connector typically check for updates to policy, forwarding, and administration settings?

  A. Every 120 minutes
  B. Every 60 minutes
  C. Every 90 minutes
  D. Every 80 minutes
  B. Every 60 minutes

  ---

  Explanation

  Zscaler Client Connector performs its standard policy and configuration check-in every 60 minutes, ensuring it stays current with the latest forwarding, admin, and policy updates.

• Question 39:

  An administrator must change a policy that belongs to one Zscaler service. The organization also uses several other Zscaler services.

  What should the administrator do first?

  A. Create the same policy in every available service console
  B. Disable administrative sign-on until the change is complete
  C. Open the service-specific console that owns the policy and confirm the tenant context
  D. Assign all administrators access to every service console
  C. Open the service-specific console that owns the policy and confirm the tenant context

  ---

  Explanation

  Service settings should be managed in the console that owns them. Confirming the tenant and service context reduces the risk of changing the wrong environment.

• Question 40:

  The security exceptions allow list for Advanced Threat Protection apply to which of the following Policies?

  A. Sandbox
  B. URL Filtering
  C. File Type Control
  D. IPS Control
  A. Sandbox

  ---

  Explanation

  The ATP "Security Exceptions" allow list is leveraged by both Advanced Threat Protection and the Sandbox policy - URLs or hosts you add here won't be submitted for sandbox analysis.
