The correct answer is B. False. Zero Trust architecture is built around least-privileged, context-based access, not permanent entitlement. Zscaler's ZPA guidance explains that ZTNA provides users secure connectivity to private applications without ever placing them on the network and that access is granted based on granular policies. When a user attempts to access a resource, the user's context is matched against policy, and if the requirements are not met, the application is effectively unreachable.

This means access is conditional and specific, not permanently enabled after one successful decision. Zscaler also emphasizes that users connect directly to apps, not the network, minimizing attack surface and eliminating lateral movement. A permanent connection model would resemble legacy VPN behavior, where a user gains broad, lasting access to a routed network environment. Zero Trust rejects that model. Instead, policy enablement and application connectivity are tied to the active request and the context at the time of access. If posture, location, or policy conditions change, the decision can also change. Therefore, Zero Trust connections should not always be permanent, and the correct answer is False.
