Zero Trust Branch (EDU-280) Test

Evaluate your Zscaler Zero Trust Branch (ZTB) skills with a comprehensive, scenario-based assessment that measures your ability to modernize branch connectivity using an identity-based, zero trust approach. The test validates proficiency in site provisioning, Branch Connector setup, and automated device registration with the Zero Trust Exchange, along with configuring DNS and IPSec policies for secure traffic redirection. It also covers ZIA and ZPA integrations using IPSec, GRE, and App Connectors to replace legacy SD-WAN and VPN designs with direct-to-cloud access for users and IoT/OT devices. 

You will be assessed on operational readiness and resiliency, including HA clustering, routing fundamentals (BGP/OSPF) as applied to branch traffic management, and practical troubleshooting using platform monitoring, analytics, logs, and CLI workflows. Security outcomes are emphasized through evaluation of micro-segmentation strategies to isolate IoT/OT environments, controls that reduce attack surface and limit lateral movement, and validation of incident response capabilities such as Ransomware Kill Switch testing;
