Ensuring client compliance for clientless VPN users
The client compliance feature of the security gateway lets you put restrictions on computers that
connect through the VPN features of the security gateway to the internal network. By requiring
computers that connect to the VPN to be secured or else be denied access, you can minimize the risk of
opening up your network to remote machines.
A client-compliance profile comprises both the various security criteria that a user’s client computer
must satisfy and also any security actions that either the client or security gateway should perform at
log on and afterward.
