All ZDTE Test Inside Zscaler Questions

Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) supports regional processing requirements through the concept of subclouds. A subcloud is defined as a subset of ZIA Public Service Edges (and optionally Private Service Edges) that operate as full-featured secure internet gateways inspecting all web traffic. ZIA administrators can create a custom pool of data centers (Public Service Edges) that are constrained to a specific geography and then associate locations or tunnels with that subcloud. This ensures that user traffic forwarded to ZIA is only terminated and inspected within that defined regional pool, helping satisfy data-residency and regulatory mandates

By contrast, Zscaler’s default behavior is to use geo-IP and DNS to send traffic to the nearest available Public Service Edge globally, which may violate regional-processing rules (making option D unsuitable in a compliance-driven scenario) Bypassing ZIA (option A) or deploying local VPNs (option C) would undermine the Zero Trust model and remove ZIA’s inline security controls. Therefore, configuring a subcloud that includes only Public Service Edges in the mandated region is the architecturally correct and exam-aligned method to keep inspection within a specific geography.

Zscaler Experience Center is the unified, next-generation administration console designed to simplify Zero Trust adoption across the entire Zscaler platform. Zscaler describes Experience Center as a single, centralized command console that brings together management for Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX), Risk360, and other services in one place.

The official guidance states that Experience Center “aims to simplify Zero Trust adoption and operations by providing an intuitive interface for all administrative users.” It introduces persona-driven workflows, consistent navigation, and a common policy framework across internet, SaaS, and private applications. This allows security, networking, and operations teams to configure access control, threat protection, data protection, and digital experience policies through a single, coherent UI instead of juggling separate consoles.

By contrast, OneAPI is a programmatic automation interface, not a graphical admin UI. ZIA is a core product whose original admin portal handles secure internet and SaaS access, but it is just one component of the broader platform. ZIdentity provides centralized identity and admin-role management, not the full Zero Trust operations UI across all services. Therefore, the correct answer that matches the stated goal and wording is Zscaler Experience Center.

Zscaler’s Data Protection platform integrates Optical Character Recognition (OCR) into its inline Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities. OCR enables Zscaler to extract text embedded within images—such as screenshots, scanned documents, or photos of forms—and subject that text to the same DLP inspection engines that normally analyze plain text content.

Once OCR has converted image content into text, Zscaler can apply predefined dictionaries, custom dictionaries, and advanced classifiers to detect sensitive data types, including personally identifiable information (PII) such as national ID numbers, passport numbers, addresses, or other regulated personal data. This is crucial because many data leaks occur via screenshots or scanned documents that traditional, text-only DLP engines would miss.

While OCR could, in theory, detect patterns related to network configurations, software licenses, or financial transactions, Zscaler’s training and exam materials emphasize its use to protect sensitive data in images—especially user-related regulated data such as PII and other compliance-relevant information. Network configurations and software licenses are better addressed through configuration management and IP protection policies, and “financial transactions” describes activities rather than a specific information pattern. Therefore, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is the best and most exam-accurate answer for the type of sensitive information protected using OCR.

In Zscaler 3rd-Party App Governance documentation, the App Inventory is where administrators view and manage all discovered third-party apps, add-ons, and extensions. The “Classifying Apps” help article defines the available states: Unclassified, Sanctioned, Reviewing, and Unsanctioned. Crucially, it notes that Unclassified is the default state for any new application before an administrator evaluates it.

“Sanctioned” is used once the organization has explicitly approved an app for use; “Unsanctioned” is used when an app is not allowed; and “Reviewing” indicates it is under investigation. Those labels are the result of governance decisions applied after discovery.

ZDTE study materials on SaaS and app governance mirror this behavior: newly discovered apps enter the inventory without an explicit decision, allowing security teams to triage risk, review permissions, and only then mark them as sanctioned or unsanctioned. Because the default state for a new entry is explicitly documented as Unclassified, the correct answer is D. Unclassified.
