For SD-WAN API integrations with Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), the control point for establishing trust and enabling automation is the Cloud Service API configuration within the ZIA admin portal. As documented in Zscaler’s SD-WAN and Cloud Service API workflow, the ZIA administrator navigates to the Cloud Service API (under Administration) and configures the SD-WAN integration by generating and managing the SD-WAN Partner Key there. This key is then used by the SD-WAN orchestrator or controller to authenticate against Zscaler’s APIs and to automate the creation of locations and tunnels.

The key is not provided by the SD-WAN partner; rather, it is created and controlled by the customer’s ZIA admin, which makes option D incorrect. Locations and tunnels created via the integration remain visible and generally manageable within the ZIA admin interface, so option B is incorrect. While SD-WAN integrations can automate both GRE and IPsec tunnels in many deployments, that behavior depends on the specific SD-WAN vendor and design, so the blanket statement in option A is not the definitive, document-aligned fact being tested.

FIDO2 (Fast Identity Online 2) is a family of open authentication standards designed specifically to enable strong, phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication. It combines the WebAuthn standard (for browsers and web applications) with the CTAP protocol (for communicating with authenticators such as security keys). Vendors like Microsoft explicitly describe Windows Hello and FIDO2 security keys as passwordless sign-in mechanisms, and Yubico likewise highlights FIDO2 support on YubiKey devices for passwordless and multi-factor authentication.

Zscaler’s identity-related documentation and partner guides reference FIDO2 and passwordless methods such as Windows Hello for Business and FIDO2-based passkeys as modern options that integrate with identity providers (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD) and can be used for Zscaler authentication flows.

By contrast, SCIM is a provisioning standard for user and group lifecycle management, not an authentication protocol. OpenID (and OpenID Connect) and SAML are federation and SSO protocols that typically still rely on passwords or existing credentials at the identity provider, even though they may be used alongside MFA. Only FIDO2 is purpose-built for secure, hardware- or device-bound, passwordless authentication with biometrics or secure PINs, which is exactly what the question describes with examples like Windows Hello and YubiKey.

In Zscaler App Protection, the core design model is built around three fundamental building blocks presented in a specific logical order: Profiles, Controls, and Policies. The Digital Transformation Engineer material explains that App Protection’s goal is to apply fine-grained security actions to applications and user sessions based on risk and context.

First, Profiles define who is being governed. They group users or devices that share common characteristics (such as department, location, or risk level). Next, Controls define what actions are allowed, restricted, or inspected. Examples include limiting copy-and-paste, file uploads and downloads, printing, clipboard usage, or enforcing additional inspection for sensitive content and risky behaviors. Finally, Policies define when and where those controls are applied by mapping profiles to specific applications or traffic categories under defined conditions (such as user risk posture, device posture, or access method).

Options A and B contain the same elements but in the wrong conceptual order compared to how App Protection is taught and implemented. Option C describes generic security concepts, not the explicit App Protection building-block terminology. Therefore, the correct sequence and terminology, matching the App Protection framework, is Profiles, Controls, Policies.
