What information is passed to Zscaler Internet Access during device registration?

The information that is passed to Zscaler Internet Access during device registration primarily consists of device registration information. This data is crucial for establishing a secure connection between the user's device and the Zscaler platform. It enables Zscaler to identify and authenticate the device within its network, ensuring that policies are applied correctly according to the organization's security posture.

Device registration typically includes details such as the device's unique identifier, operating system version, and potentially other configuration settings that support secure and effective network access. This structured approach to device registration enhances security by allowing Zscaler to control how each device accesses the internet and to enforce security policies tailored to that specific device.

Other options mentioned, while relevant to various contexts, do not capture the essence of what is exchanged during the device registration process. User browsing history and preferences are typically not shared during registration because the focus is on connecting the device securely rather than personal browsing habits. Authentication token details are often part of the authentication process but are not the primary element during the initial registration step. Device operating system specifications may be part of the overall device information, but the core component sent during registration is the device registration information itself.
