Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
ZTNA access proxy
Why this is correct
The ZTNA access proxy sits between the user and the application, terminating the user's connection and establishing a secure connection to the application server.

ZTNA inline CASB
Why it's wrong here
Inline CASB is for cloud application security, not for proxying on-premises applications.
- ✗
IPsec VPN gateway
Why it's wrong here
