Zscaler Certified Technology Associate (ZDTA) — Question 87

How does Zscaler ensure that sensitive structured data used in the EDM process is not stored in its cloud environment?

Answer options

• A. By storing sensitive structured data on servers managed by trusted Zscaler staff for enhanced security.
• B. By using an on-premises VM to index data and only sending hashed values to the cloud.
• C. By requiring customers to manually hash the data and upload it to the cloud.
• D. By encrypting sensitive data directly before storing it in the cloud.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Zscaler uses an on-premises VM to process data, ensuring only hashed values are transmitted to the cloud, thus maintaining data privacy. Option A is incorrect as Zscaler does not store sensitive data on its servers. Option C is wrong because customers do not manually hash data; Zscaler automates this process. Option D is also incorrect since the focus is on indexing and hashing, not direct encryption before cloud storage.
