Zscaler Certified Technology Associate (ZDTA) — Question 13

Layered defense throughout an organization security platform is valuable because of which of the following?

Answer options

• A. Layered defense increases costs to attackers to operate.
• B. Layered defense from multiple vendor solutions easily share attacker data.
• C. Layered defense ensures attackers are prevented eventually.
• D. Layered defense with multiple endpoint agents protects from attackers.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, highlights that a layered defense increases the complexity and cost for attackers, making their efforts less viable. Option B is incorrect because while data sharing can occur, it is not the primary benefit of layered defense. Option C is misleading as no security measure can guarantee prevention, and option D, while true, does not capture the essence of why layered defense is valuable in terms of cost to attackers.
