Practice Questions & Answers and explanations GRADE
A+.
1. Which Zscaler component provides inline security inspection for user
traffic?
A. Zscaler Client Connector
B. Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA)
C. Zscaler Private Access (ZPA)
D. Zscaler Workload Segmentation
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: ZIA provides cloud-based secure web gateway, CASB, DLP, SSL
inspection, and threat protection for internet traffic.
2. What is the primary purpose of ZPA in a Zero Trust architecture?
A. Allow direct VPN tunnels
B. Provide network-level access to internal apps
C. Provide app-level access without exposing the network
D. Cache internet traffic
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ZPA grants secure, identity-based access to specific applications, not
networks.
3. Zscaler Client Connector is primarily used to:
A. Replace the firewall
B. Route user traffic to Zscaler services
C. Replace identity providers
D. Encrypt all email traffic
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Client Connector forwards authenticated traffic to ZIA/ZPA automatically.
4. Which protocol does ZIA require for SSL inspection of encrypted traffic?
A. DTLS
B. TLS interception with a trusted root certificate
C. IPsec
D. GRE
,Correct Answer: B
5. In ZPA, which component determines whether a user is allowed to access
an application?
A. App Connector
B. ZPA Private Service Edge
C. ZPA Policy Engine
D. Zscaler Cloud Firewall
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The policy engine evaluates identity, device posture, and access policies.
6. What does Zscaler recommend to replace traditional VPN access?
A. GRE tunnels
B. ZPA with application segmentation
C. SD-WAN tunnels
D. MPLS transport
Correct Answer: B
7. A customer wants to reduce MPLS costs and move to direct internet
breakout. Which Zscaler service aligns best with this strategy?
A. ZPA
B. ZDX
C. ZIA
D. ZWS
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ZIA enables secure direct-to-internet traffic, eliminating backhaul.
8. Which Zscaler product provides end-to-end user experience monitoring?
A. ZIA
B. ZPA
C. Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX)
D. ZWS
Correct Answer: C
9. App Connectors in ZPA must be deployed:
, A. Directly on user devices
B. In front of internal apps in the customer environment
C. In the Zscaler cloud
D. In MPLS environments only
Correct Answer: B
10. Which identity source does Zscaler commonly integrate with for
authentication?
A. Local device password
B. Identity cloud or SAML/IdP
C. Router-based AAA
D. Static credentials
Correct Answer: B
11. Zscaler recommends deploying GRE or IPsec tunnels from branch
locations to:
A. App Connector
B. Zscaler Private Edge
C. Zscaler Public Service Edge
D. ZPA Broker
Correct Answer: C
12. What does Zscaler use to enforce least-privileged access in ZPA?
A. IP Allow lists
B. Application segmentation
C. VLAN ACLs
D. Static firewall policies
Correct Answer: B
13. ZIA Bandwidth Control allows engineers to:
A. Block all video traffic globally
B. Limit or prioritize app categories
C. Modify Zscaler cloud capacity
D. Force GRE tunnels on mobile devices
Correct Answer: B
