Zscaler Certified Technology Associate (ZDTA) — Question 18

The Zscaler platform can protect against malicious files, URLs and content based on a number of criteria including reputation type. What type of checking is virus scanning?

Answer options

• A. Malware protection
• B. File reputation
• C. SHA-256 hashing
• D. Site reputation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as virus scanning is specifically designed to identify and mitigate malware threats. Options B, C, and D refer to different aspects of security; file reputation assesses the credibility of files, SHA-256 hashing is a method for validating file integrity, and site reputation evaluates the safety of websites, but none of these directly pertain to virus scanning.
