SCAZT Cloud Security Architecture Practice Question
When deploying a secure remote access solution, how do you handle 'Split Tunneling' safely in a Zero Trust environment?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a ZTNA agent to tunnel only application-specific traffic while keeping web traffic direct.
By using a ZTNA agent, you can define specific application tunnels, effectively creating a 'split' where only authorized traffic goes through the secure path while general web traffic goes direct.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable split tunneling to ensure all traffic is inspected.
Why it's wrong here
This is inefficient and does not scale in a cloud-native model.
- ✓
Use a ZTNA agent to tunnel only application-specific traffic while keeping web traffic direct.
Why this is correct
This allows for secure application access without hair-pinning all user traffic.
- ✗
Force all traffic through the corporate VPN, regardless of destination.
Why it's wrong here
This creates massive latency and is not a ZTNA principle.
- ✗
Allow all traffic to the internet without any inspection.
Why it's wrong here
This is a severe security risk.
