1. Usage Scenario
Device compliance check assesses the security posture and adherence to compliance requirements of a device before granting it access to network resources. It ensures that devices meet certain security criteria, such as having up-to-date software patches, antivirus protection, and proper security configurations.
By verifying device compliance, organizations can enforce security policies and ensure that only trusted and compliant devices are allowed access to their network. This helps mitigate the risk of compromised or vulnerable devices accessing sensitive data or resources and reduces the overall attack surface.
Device compliance check is an advanced feature that only offered to Premium users. On ESA, we have pre-configured Windows detect items and Mac detect items for your quick configuration and provide customize option for your self-definition.
