NSE7 Advanced VPN and Zero Trust Practice Question
An administrator configures ZTNA inline CASB to control access to a SaaS application. The goal is to block uploads of files with credit card numbers. The administrator configures a CASB profile with a DLP rule for credit card numbers. However, uploads are not being blocked. What is the most likely reason?
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
✓
SSL inspection is not enabled for the traffic
Inline CASB requires the traffic to be decrypted via SSL inspection; otherwise, the DLP engine cannot inspect the content of encrypted HTTPS traffic.
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 CASB profile is not applied to the ZTNA policy
Why it's wrong here
If not applied, no blocking would occur, but the question implies it is applied.
- ✓
SSL inspection is not enabled for the traffic
Why this is correct
Without SSL deep inspection, the DLP engine sees only encrypted content and cannot detect credit card numbers.
- ✗
The DLP rule is configured to monitor instead of block
Why it's wrong here
The rule could be set to block; the description says 'block uploads' but misconfiguration is possible. However, without SSL inspection, it wouldn't detect anyway.
- ✗
The SaaS application is not supported by CASB
Why it's wrong here
If unsupported, CASB wouldn't process at all; but the question implies it is configured.
