What does the "Asses" policy type evaluate?

The "Assess" policy type evaluates whether an endpoint conforms to predetermined security standards. This involves checking compliance with a variety of security configurations, such as ensuring antivirus software is installed and active, verifying the operating system is up-to-date, and confirming that the device adheres to specific organizational policies. By assessing compliance, organizations can identify vulnerabilities and non-compliant devices, which is essential for maintaining a secure network environment.

When properly implemented, the assessment can provide valuable insights into the security posture of the organization's network, enabling proactive risk management. This understanding allows IT teams to take necessary actions to remediate non-compliant endpoints, thereby enhancing overall security.
