Viewing Posture Incidents
The term “posture” refers to a collection of attributes that play a role in the conduct or
health of a device that is seeking network access. Some of these attributes relate to the
endpoint device-type and operating system; and other belong to various security
applications that might be present on the endpoint, such as anti-virus (AV) scanning
software.
Posture validation refers to the act of applying a set of rules to the posture data to provide
an assessment of the level of trust that you can place in that endpoint. Posture incidents;
therefore, are any events that are in violation and suspect the health of an endpoint
device.
