About Posture Profiles

Posture profiles define requirements for end-user devices when accessing the network and private resources. There are two types of profiles, depending on your connection type:

  • VPN - Define posture requirements for end-user devices connecting to the network using VPN. The VPN client must be installed on the end-user device. Requirements are checked when the device connects to the network. See Manage VPN Connection Posture Profiles.
  • Zero Trust Access - Define posture profiles for user devices that connect to resources on the network without using VPN. See Manage Zero Trust Access Posture Profiles.
