Zero Trust Branch (EDU-280) Hands-On Lab
Zscaler Zero Trust Branch (EDU-280) labs offer hands-on experience in Zscaler Zero Trust Branch deployment. Master site provisioning, ZIA/ZPA integration, and advanced security like device isolation and Ransomware Kill Switch testing to replace legacy routers with a resilient, identity-based architecture.
The Zscaler Zero Trust Branch (EDU-280) lab series provides a structured environment for mastering Zscaler Zero Trust Branch (ZTB) deployments. Participants begin with site provisioning and Branch Connector configuration, learning how to automate device registration with the Zero Trust Exchange. The labs include configuring critical DNS and IPSec policies for secure traffic redirection, along with ZIA and ZPA integrations that replace legacy hardware and VPNs with identity-aware access controls.
The curriculum also emphasizes advanced security orchestration and operational resilience. Students implement micro-segmentation using ZTB capabilities to isolate IoT/OT devices and perform real-world testing of the Ransomware Kill Switch for rapid threat containment. Through in-depth monitoring, high-availability (HA) cluster setup, and log analysis, administrators gain the practical expertise needed to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot a secure, direct-to-cloud branch infrastructure
