Explanation

ZTNA Connector enables prospective customers to securely access private applications without managing IPsec tunnels by acting as a lightweight agent deployed near the application that establishes outbound connections to the ZTNA broker - no inbound firewall rules or tunnel configuration required on the customer side.

  • A (CASB) is wrong because CASB governs cloud application usage and data security policy, not private application access.
  • B (Explicit Proxy) is wrong because it routes web traffic through a proxy server but doesn't solve private app access and still requires network-level configuration.
  • D (Service Connection) is wrong because Service Connections (in platforms like Prisma Access) are used to connect your own data centers to the SASE fabric - they require IPsec or GRE tunnel setup, which is exactly what the question says to avoid.

Memory tip: Think "Connector = connect without complexity" - the ZTNA Connector does the heavy lifting so the customer never touches a tunnel. If the question mentions avoiding IPsec or simplifying private app access for external users, ZTNA Connector is the answer.
