Host Scan

Overview

Host Scan policies help define the endpoint information like the AV product being used, firewall being used, its geolocation etc. which can be evaluated for allowing appropriate application access to the user logging in from the endpoint.

Important

The Host Scan policy by itself is not sufficient to decide on the application access, rather it becomes effective only when it gets attached to a Device Profile and the device profile is matched for the connecting endpoint.

Following types of Host Scan policies can be created

  • Antivirus based
  • Firewall based
  • Antispyware based
  • MAC Address based
  • IP Address based
  • Geolocation
  • Domain
  • Windows Update
  • Wan IP Address

Some of the Host Scan policies are evaluated for existence of different types of 3rd party products as well. An example is Antivirus which gets evaluated for different 3rd party products like Symantec, McAfee, QuickHeal etc.
