Investigate security incidents using Zscaler Z-Insights analytics. Correlates threat categories, cyber incident trends, firewall actions, web traffic patterns, and shadow IT data to build a comprehensive incident timeline. Use when a security analyst asks: 'What threats were detected?', 'Show me incident trends', 'Investigate this security event', or 'What shadow IT is being used?'
Troubleshoot Zscaler Microsegmentation (ZMS) agent deployment and connectivity issues. Investigates agent fleet health, connection status, version compliance, agent group configuration, provisioning keys, and TOTP secrets. Use when an administrator reports: 'Agents are disconnected', 'Agent enrollment failing', 'How do I provision new agents?', 'Check agent versions', or 'Agent not connecting.'
Review Zscaler Microsegmentation (ZMS) tag classification, application discovery, and tag-to-resource-group mapping. Investigates tag namespaces (CUSTOM, EXTERNAL, ML), tag keys and values, application catalog entries, and how tags drive managed resource group membership. Use when an administrator asks: 'Show me our tag structure', 'What cloud tags are imported?', 'How are resource groups using tags?', 'What applications were discovered?', 'Review tag classification', or 'Are ML tags being used?'
Audit the overall Zscaler Microsegmentation (ZMS) deployment posture. Reviews agent fleet health, workload protection coverage, resource group structure, policy rules, app zones, application catalog, and tag-based classification. Use when an administrator asks: 'What is our microsegmentation coverage?', 'How many workloads are protected?', 'Show me our ZMS policies', 'Review our microsegmentation deployment', or 'Audit our ZMS posture.'
Assess Zscaler Microsegmentation (ZMS) workload protection coverage and identify protection gaps. Investigates resource protection status, resource group membership, unprotected workloads by cloud and region, and resource group coverage gaps. Use when an administrator asks: 'Which workloads are unprotected?', 'What is our microsegmentation coverage?', 'Find protection gaps', 'Which resource groups have no policies?', 'Show me unprotected resources', or 'What is our workload coverage percentage?'
Analyze Zscaler Microsegmentation (ZMS) policy rules for optimization opportunities. Reviews custom and default policy rules, identifies stale or unused rules, detects overly permissive rules, maps cross-zone communication patterns, and assesses default security posture. Use when an administrator asks: 'Are there unused policy rules?', 'Which rules are too broad?', 'Optimize our segmentation policies', 'Review our default deny posture', 'Show me policy rule coverage', or 'Analyze our ZMS policies.'
Assess network security posture using Zscaler Analytics (Z-Insights). Analyzes Zero Trust Firewall effectiveness by action distribution (allow/block ratios), location-based firewall activity, network service usage, and firewall rule hit counts. Use when a security team asks: 'How effective is our firewall?', 'What is being blocked?', 'Show firewall activity by location', 'Which network services are in use?', or 'Generate a firewall report.'
End-to-end onboarding of a new ZIA location with its traffic forwarding dependencies. Walks through the full dependency chain: (1) Create a static IP for the site's egress point, (2) Create VPN credentials (UFQDN or IP-based) for the IPSec tunnel, (3) Create the location referencing the static IP and VPN credentials, (4) Optionally create a sub-location. Covers both UFQDN-based (simple) and IP-based (requires static IP first) VPN credential flows. Use when an administrator asks: 'Add a new office location', 'Onboard a branch office', or 'Set up traffic forwarding for a new site.'
