What does the Device Posture feature enable in Zscaler Client Connector?

The Device Posture feature in Zscaler Client Connector enables a level of trust for devices in the Zero Trust Network Access policy. This feature assesses the security status of a device before granting access to an organization’s applications or resources. By evaluating various attributes, such as operating system version, antivirus status, and other security-related configurations, Device Posture ensures that only compliant devices can connect to sensitive resources.

In a Zero Trust environment, trust is not automatically granted based on the network perimeter; instead, access is determined based on the verified security posture of the device. This helps mitigate risks associated with unsecured or compromised devices and ensures that the organization's security policies are enforced consistently.

The other options do not accurately reflect the purpose of the Device Posture feature. While improved performance and user experience can be goals of various security tools, they do not specifically relate to establishing a security compliance check that is fundamental to the Device Posture functionality.
