Endpoint posture assessment is a critical zero trust security capability that continuously evaluates the security health and compliance status of devices before and during network access.
Ivanti Secure Access Client implements comprehensive endpoint security posture assessments for both mobile and desktop computing devices, enabling organizations to enforce security policies dynamically based on real-time device conditions. Secure Client Access provides stateful endpoint integrity and assessment with easy policy definitions for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices.
The client evaluates multiple security factors to determine device compliance:
- Operating System patch level: Verifies devices run approved OS versions (Windows and macOS) with current security patches.
- Antivirus and Anti-malware status: Checks whether endpoint protection is installed, running and up to date.
- Disk encryption: Verifies sensitive data is protected through encryption.
- Firewall status: ensures host-based firewalls are enabled and properly. Configured.
- Application inventory: Identifies unauthorized or risky software.
- Device configuration: Validates compliance with organizational security standards.
When non-compliant devices are identified, Ivanti Secure Access Client can block access completely, grant limited access to remediation resources only, trigger automated remediation workflows or provide user notifications with step-by-step instructions to address the issue.
