Zscaler ZTCA Exam - Topic 4 Question 9 Discussion

By definition, Zero Trust connections are:
A) Independent of any network for control or trust.
B) Highly dependent on the network type, including whether that network is IPv4 or IPv6.
C) Based purely on a network appliance, constrained by how much CPU may be available.
D) Hairpinned through service chaining by an SD-WAN appliance.

By definition, Zero Trust connections are:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A. By definition, Zero Trust connections are independent of the network for control or trust. This is one of the most important distinctions between Zero Trust and legacy security models. In traditional architectures, trust is often inherited from network location. If a user is on the corporate network, or connected into it by VPN, that user may gain broad access based on network reachability. Zero Trust rejects that model. Instead, trust is established through identity, posture, context, and policy for each access request.

Because of this, the underlying transport network becomes less important from a trust perspective. Whether the user is on Wi-Fi, broadband, mobile internet, IPv4, or IPv6 is not the defining factor in the access decision. The connection can operate over many types of networks, but the network itself is not what grants trust. Options B, C, and D all describe legacy or infrastructure-specific dependencies that Zero Trust is designed to avoid. A Zero Trust connection is therefore defined by policy-controlled, context-aware access, not by dependence on a particular network type or appliance path.

Wait, are we really saying it depends on the network? That’s surprising!

B seems off. Zero Trust should be agnostic to network type.

D is just confusing, SD-WAN has nothing to do with Zero Trust principles.

D sounds familiar because I studied SD-WAN, but I don't think Zero Trust is specifically about service chaining.

I feel like B could be a trick option since it mentions IPv4 and IPv6, but I can't recall if that really matters in Zero Trust.

I remember a practice question that mentioned how Zero Trust doesn't rely on the network type, which makes me lean towards A as well.

I think Zero Trust is about not trusting any network by default, so A seems right, but I'm not completely sure.

I’m a bit confused about the options. I thought Zero Trust was more about user verification than network specifics, so maybe A is correct, but I’m not completely confident.

I feel like I’ve seen practice questions where they emphasize that Zero Trust is about verifying every connection, which makes me think A is the best choice.

I remember something about how Zero Trust doesn’t rely on the network type, so A seems right, but I could be mixing it up with another concept.
