What occurs during a network change in the Zscaler Client Connector?

When a network change occurs in the Zscaler Client Connector, it performs a full refresh of applications and profiles. This process is essential because it allows the Client Connector to adapt to the new network conditions and apply the appropriate security policies and configurations relevant to that network. This ensures that users remain protected and that their access to applications is optimized based on the current network environment.

Refreshing applications and profiles means that the Client Connector will retrieve the latest configurations from the Zscaler cloud, enabling any updated security policies to be applied immediately. This responsiveness is crucial in environments where users might frequently change networks, such as moving from a corporate LAN to a public Wi-Fi network, or transitioning between different corporate locations.

In contrast, options like creating a new user account, initiating a system backup, or updating the device operating system are not functions carried out by the Zscaler Client Connector in response to network changes. The focus of the Client Connector is primarily on ensuring secure and efficient access to applications based on the prevailing network context.
