NSE7 Advanced VPN and Zero Trust Practice Question
An administrator configures a ZTNA gateway with inline CASB to monitor SaaS applications. Users report that access to Salesforce is blocked. The administrator reviews the ZTNA proxy rule and sees that inline CASB is enabled with a 'monitor-only' action. What is the MOST likely reason for the block?
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
✓
A separate application control profile is blocking Salesforce
Inline CASB with 'monitor-only' should not block traffic. The block may be due to a separate application control or web filtering profile applied on the policy.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The inline CASB profile is set to 'block' for Salesforce
Why it's wrong here
Monitor-only means no blocking is enforced by CASB.
- ✗
The ZTNA proxy rule does not have SSL inspection enabled
Why it's wrong here
SSL inspection is needed for CASB to see content, but lack of it would not block per se.
- ✗
FortiClient EMS is not assigning the required ZTNA tags
Why it's wrong here
Tags affect access, but not specifically for SaaS blocking.
- ✓
A separate application control profile is blocking Salesforce
Why this is correct
Application control can block SaaS apps independently.
