Free Practice Questions for Zscaler ZDTA Exam

Tenant Restriction is the ZIA feature that enforces access control policies to prevent access to certain SaaS applications from unmanaged or non-compliant devices. This ensures that only authorized and managed devices can access sensitive corporate SaaS resources, enhancing security posture.

The study guide highlights Tenant Restriction as an essential control for enforcing device compliance in SaaS access policies.

The Forwarding Profile in Zscaler defines the fallback methods and behavior when a DTLS tunnel cannot be established. This profile governs how traffic should be forwarded if the preferred DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) tunnel fails, ensuring continuity by falling back to alternative methods such as TLS or other configured options. It is critical to maintaining secure and resilient connectivity paths for traffic forwarding.

The study guide clarifies that this forwarding profile specifically addresses DTLS fallback behavior to maintain session reliability.

Trusted Network Detection in Zscaler Client Connector can reference DNS Search Domains, DNS Server IPs, and Hostname Resolution (i.e. a hostname and the IP it resolves to) as criteria for determining a trusted network.

Zero Trust Connections don’t rely on the underlying network’s security or topology - they enforce access and control at the application level, independent of any fixed or trusted network environment.

The primary role of Sandbox functionality is to detect and analyze zero‑day and other unknown threats by executing suspicious files in an isolated environment before they reach users.

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.

Downloaders are a specific type of malware whose primary purpose is to download and install other malicious software onto a victim's machine. Unlike standalone threats, downloaders typically establish initial access and then retrieve payloads like ransomware, trojans, or spyware from a command and control server. Their role in the malware chain is fundamental for multi-stage attacks.

When the Zscaler Client Connector launches, it initially interacts with the Zscaler Central Authority portal. This portal provides the Client Connector with information about the user's domain and the configured identity provider (IdP). This interaction allows the Client Connector to direct the user to the appropriate authentication endpoint and apply the correct access policies.

The study guide emphasizes the role of the Central Authority in managing user domain information and identity provider details for authentication flows.

When you create a Server Group in the ZPA admin console (or via API/Infrastructure-as‑Code), you explicitly select which App Connector Groups should serve that Server Group. Those connector groups are then used to advertise reachability and steer traffic to the included application servers.

The on-premises VM in the Enterprise Data Management (EDM) process primarily locally analyzes cloud transactions for potential Personally Identifiable Information (PII) exfiltration. This allows organizations to detect and prevent sensitive data leaving their environment by inspecting cloud interactions close to their premises.

The study guide highlights that the VM acts as a local control point in the EDM workflow, ensuring sensitive data protection during cloud transactions.
