Which of the following connects Zscaler users to the nearest Microsoft 365 servers for a better experience?
Answer : C
Multiple distributed DNS resolvers providing local results connect Zscaler users to the nearest Microsoft 365 servers. This approach ensures users get localized DNS resolution, which directs them to the closest Microsoft 365 endpoint, improving performance and reducing latency.
The study guide highlights the importance of distributed DNS resolution in optimizing cloud application performance for users.
What can Zscaler Client Connector evaluate that provides the most thorough determination of the trust level of a device as criteria for an access policy enabling remote access to sensitive private applications?
Answer : D
Posture Profiles give a comprehensive view of a device's security state - checking OS version, patch level, antivirus status, disk encryption, and more - making them the richest criteria for trust decisions in access policies for sensitive private apps.
Which list of protocols is supported by Zscaler for Privileged Remote Access?
Answer : A
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 .
What enables zero trust to be properly implemented and enforced between an originator and the destination application?
Answer : B
Zero Trust is achieved by granting users application level access without ever placing them on the same network as the destination, ensuring users can reach only the specific app and never the underlying network.
Which type of attack plants malware on commonly accessed services?
Answer : D
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.
What is the immediate outcome or effect when the Zscaler Office 365 One Click Rule is enabled?
Answer : B
When the Zscaler Office 365 One Click Rule is enabled, Office 365 traffic is exempted from SSL inspection and other web policies to optimize performance and user experience. This rule simplifies policy configuration by automatically identifying and excluding Office 365 cloud traffic from inspection, reducing latency and avoiding potential conflicts with Office 365 services.
The study guide clarifies that this rule helps balance security with seamless cloud application usage.
SSH use or tunneling was detected and blocked by which feature?
Answer : A
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.
