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?'

## From README

ZMS: Assess Workload Protection & Coverage Gaps Keywords workload protection, protection gaps, unprotected resources, protection status, resource groups, resource coverage, microsegmentation coverage, workload inventory, protected workloads, coverage percentage, security gaps, lateral movement risk Overview Perform a focused assessment of workload protection coverage in Zscaler Microsegmentation. This skill systematically identifies unprotected resources, analyzes resource group coverage, breaks down protection status by cloud provider and region, and produces an actionable remediation plan to close coverage gaps. In a microsegmentation deployment, a workload (resource) is "protected" when: An agent is deployed and connected on the workload The workload belongs to at least one resource group The resource group is referenced by at least one policy rule A gap at any of these three levels leaves the workload exposed to lateral movement.
