Client Connectivity Policy - Continuous Posture Checks (Check Policy)

Overview

The Client Connectivity Policy includes Device Posture Checks that validate the posture of a device. In the Check Policy settings, you can configure how often the Client runs these checks.

Device Posture Checks can run continuously at configured intervals, including before the Client connects to the Cato Cloud. This helps keep device posture data up to date and can reduce Client connection time.

The possible configurations are: 

• Continuous checks, even when disconnected (recommended): The Client continuously checks the device posture at the configured intervals, even if the Client is not connected to the Cato Cloud
• Check on connect and while connected: The Client continuously checks the device posture at the configured intervals, only if the Client is connected to the Cato Cloud
• One-time check: The Client checks the device posture only during the connection process

To understand the user experience if a periodic check fails, see Configuring the Client Connectivity Policy.

Configuring the Check Policy

The Check Policy defines how often the Client runs Device Posture Checks and when the checks are performed.
