| Section | Objectives | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture and Design |
- Given a set of user groups and geographical locations, identify and explain appropriate ZIA connectivity methods (GRE, IPSec, PAC, ZCC) for each.
- Given a scenario with globally dispersed users, design a PAC deployment strategy to accommodate their connectivity needs. - Given a scenario about an implementation without a client connector (e.g. workload), identify how users are able to send traffic to Zscaler. - Given a scenario about blocking or allowing traffic on specific ports or IP Addresses identify how to configure the architecture or set up the policy. - Given a scenario about locking down an application for specific authorized users, identify how to build that AppSegment. - Identify the steps to configure Application Discovery. - Given an example user's location and bandwidth, and the chart from the Help Doc on Sizing, identify the appropriate App Connector configuration to ensure correct sizing and high availability. - Given a least privilege scenario, identify how to ensure policies are implemented appropriately based on specific user identities, device posture, and application attributes. - Given a least privilege scenario, identify how to ensure policies are enforced appropriately based on specific user identities, device posture, and application attributes. - Given a scenario where a user is in a known location, identify how to bypass their traffic so it will not have to be routed through the ZTE for private access. - Given a critical service outage scenario, identify how Y Engine's machine learning capabilities can aid root cause analysis (Consider for Administrator). - Given a scenario with a user complaining of slow applications, identify how ZDX probe placement can help identify the root cause (distinguishing between a user's resources, the organization's network, or the application itself). |
