ZDTA Exam Dumps - Zscaler Digital Transformation Administrator Questions and Answers

ZDX Advanced gathers data by constantly analyzing live user sessions to both Internet and Private applications and measuring the performance of those sessions. This real-time monitoring provides accurate and up-to-date performance metrics, enabling quick identification and resolution of client-side performance issues.

The study guide states that synthetic transactions are a feature but the primary data collection for client performance is through live session analysis, ensuring precise user experience monitoring.

Prevent Compromise analyzes device and network telemetry - including security configurations, event logs, and traffic flows - to gauge how well you’re blocking initial intrusion attempts and misconfigurations.

When a ZDX custom application is configured with the type set to 'Network', the administrator will not get Disk I/O metrics for users. Disk I/O metrics relate to local client device performance and are not part of network-type application probes which focus on network latency, server response, and other network-centric measurements.

The study guide notes that Disk I/O is part of endpoint-level monitoring and is not collected by network-type probes, unlike metrics such as Server Response Time or ZDX Score which are network related.

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.

Zscaler Client Connector automatically checks for software updates every 2 hours by default.

Beyond email, Alert Rule notifications can be pushed via Webhooks to integrate with ITSM platforms or UCaaS tools, enabling real‑time incident management and collaboration in your existing service desks or messaging systems.

Zscaler ships a set of Alert Rules curated and maintained by its ThreatLabZ research team, and administrators can also build their own custom (customer‑defined) rules to meet specific organizational needs.

Browser Isolation enables secure access to potentially malicious or untrusted websites by rendering web pages in a remote containerized environment. This isolates any harmful content away from the user’s device, ensuring safe browsing without compromising endpoint security. This approach is especially effective for unknown or risky URLs where traditional content filtering might be insufficient.

The ATP workflow focuses on protecting users from security threats such as phishing, malware, and malicious URLs through mechanisms including IPS coverage on client and server sides, categorization of URLs (especially newly registered domains), and prevention of risky file downloads like password-protected zip files. However, reporting on network performance issues such as high latency on a Teams call caused by low WiFi signal is outside the scope of ATP. This type of issue relates to digital experience or network performance monitoring, not threat protection.

Zscaler Risk360 quantifies risk by computing a risk score that is based on the number of remediations needed in comparison to the industry peer average. This approach allows organizations to understand their relative security posture by evaluating how many issues require remediation and benchmarking that against peers in the industry. This methodology enables prioritized risk management and provides context around the urgency and scale of remediation activities necessary to reduce risk.

Unlike simply counting risk events or focusing on time to mitigate, Risk360 uses this comparative remediation-based scoring to give a comprehensive view of risk. It does not compute separate scores for each of the four breach stages but rather aggregates remediation efforts and benchmarks them to industry standards.

This is confirmed by the study guide's explanation of Risk360's scoring method, highlighting the use of remediation counts compared to peers as the basis for risk scoring.
