How often does the Zscaler Client Connector check for software updates?

The Zscaler Client Connector is programmed to check for software updates every two hours. This frequency is designed to ensure that users have timely access to the latest security features and improvements, while also balancing the need for network efficiency and minimizing any potential disruption to the end user's experience. By checking every two hours, Zscaler can promptly deploy critical updates or patches, ensuring that security protocols are current and effective against emerging threats.

Choosing a different time frame, such as every hour, may lead to unnecessary strain on network resources and bandwidth due to more frequent checks, while a daily check might delay essential updates, leaving devices more vulnerable for longer periods. Therefore, the two-hour interval strikes a balanced approach between security vigilance and resource management.
