Zscaler Certified Technology Associate (ZDTA) — Question 74

What is a seed in Asset Discovery in External Attack Surface Management?

Answer options

• A. A seed is a legitimate asset provided by the organization, such as a known domain, IP address, or IP block, which serves as the starting point for discovery.
• B. A seed is a legitimate asset that can be used by the organization to perform data discovery based on which the organization can identify which user is accessing sanctioned or unsanctioned application.
• C. A seed is a legitimate asset provided by the organization, which can be used by the users to access websites that are not mission or business critical for the organization.
• D. A seed is a legitimate asset that acts as a decoy, deployed by the organization. And once the attacker reaches the seed, it results in notifications getting triggered and subsequent actions being taken as defined in the Deception portal.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a seed in this context refers specifically to known assets like domains or IP addresses that initiate the discovery process. Options B, C, and D describe different concepts related to asset usage and security but do not accurately capture the definition of a seed in Asset Discovery.
