What does Zscaler Cloud Sandbox protect from?

Zscaler Access Control Services support Zero Trust by enforcing segmentation and conditional access instead of allowing broad network reach. Preventing lateral movement requires connecting users to specific applications and limiting what they can discover or reach beyond that entitlement. Option B (It protects from potential zero-day threats and advanced persistent threats) is correct because segmentation and conditional access are the controls that reduce lateral-movement risk.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. It protects sensitive data from leaving through external channels: Stopping sensitive data from leaving is DLP. Cloud Sandbox focuses on detecting unknown malware and advanced threats through detonation.

C. It protects cloud workloads from lateral movement: Cloud workload lateral-movement protection is segmentation/zero trust networking. Sandbox is about suspicious file behavior analysis.

D. It protects users from known malicious files and attacks: Known malicious-file blocking relies on signatures and reputation; sandboxing is mainly for suspicious or unknown objects.
