Zscaler uses a proprietary technology called Zscaler PageRisk to calculate risk attributes dynamically for websites. PageRisk assesses the risk level of a website based on a variety of dynamic factors, including the site's content, reputation, and behavior, helping to identify potentially harmful or suspicious sites in real time.

This dynamic risk scoring allows Zscaler to enforce security policies more effectively, blocking or allowing access based on calculated risk rather than static lists alone. The study guide specifies that PageRisk is integral to the platform's adaptive security posture and URL filtering capabilities .

Zscaler’s short‑lived intermediate CA certificates on the ZIA Service Edges are valid for 14 days and are automatically rotated every 7 days, minimizing the window of exposure even if a private key is compromised.

Phishing campaigns, exploit kits, watering‑hole sites, and leveraging an existing compromise are all widely observed vectors for delivering malware, as they effectively trick users or exploit vulnerabilities to gain initial footholds.

The TLS Decryption platform service intercepts and decrypts SSL/TLS sessions, granting Zscaler access to both headers and payloads of encrypted traffic for inspection and policy enforcement.

Cloud Application policies offer deeper, application‑aware controls, such as granular actions on specific SaaS functions, making them a superior choice for managing access to modern web apps compared to generic URL filters.

Tenant Restriction is the ZIA feature that enforces access control policies to prevent access to certain SaaS applications from unmanaged or non-compliant devices. This ensures that only authorized and managed devices can access sensitive corporate SaaS resources, enhancing security posture.

The study guide highlights Tenant Restriction as an essential control for enforcing device compliance in SaaS access policies.

Data Protection provides comprehensive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities, inspecting content in motion to identify, block, or encrypt sensitive information based on policy.

The Microtunnel (M-Tunnel) in Zscaler is designed to create an end-to-end communication channel to internal applications. This tunnel facilitates secure and direct access from the client device to internal corporate applications without exposing the network or requiring traditional VPN infrastructure. The M-Tunnel is part of ZPA’s mechanism to ensure secure, zero-trust access to private resources.

Zscaler Client Connector’s Tunnel 2.0 uses a packet‑filter based tunnel that encapsulates all IP traffic - both TCP and UDP on any port, plus ICMP - to the Zero Trust Exchange

To avoid prompting users with a cloud selection menu in the Zscaler Client Connector (ZCC), administrators should customize the MSI installation package with the CLOUDNAME parameter. This setting ensures the ZCC automatically connects to the correct ZIA cloud instance without user intervention. The CLOUDNAME corresponds to the designated cloud name for the organization’s ZIA tenant, effectively bypassing the prompt. This is outlined under Zscaler's deployment and configuration instructions for ZCC.
