Check device posture

The Information pane provides detailed information about your device posture and security status. This information is particularly useful when setting up or troubleshooting access control policies (ACL).

InformationDescription
IdP Your identity provider (also referred to as IDP or IdP) is responsible for creating, maintaining, and managing identity information for users, services, and systems. This field displays the hostname of your currently configured IdP.
Authenticated as Displays the username you use to authenticate with your Identity Provider (IdP).
Network TypeThe type of network you are connected to. The following network types are available:


  • On-premises. User is inside a trusted network, like a corporate IT network. This network type is available when you enable trusted network in the identity provider (IdP), and the user satisfies the trusted network policy. The user can override the trusted network settings on their computer by toggling On-premises in Guardicore Platform Agent.


  • On-premises (using Proxy). User is inside a trusted network, like a corporate IT network and a proxy server is used. This network type is available when you enable trusted network in the IdP, the user satisfies the trusted network policy, and has authenticated with the proxy server (with the correct proxy credentials). The user can override the trusted network settings on their computer by toggling On-premises in Guardicore Platform Agent.


  • Public. User is outside a trusted network, in a public network (like a cafe, or a hotel network). This network type is available when you enable trusted network in the IdP, and the user does not satisfy the trusted network policy. Also, you can see this network type indication when the trusted network feature is disabled in the IdP.


  • Public (using Proxy). When you enable a proxy server and authentication is done with the correct proxy credentials, Guardicore Platform Agent sends the traffic though the proxy server to reach the application server.


  • Captive portal. User is in a public network (like a cafe, or a hotel network) and connected to the captive portal page, but has not authenticated with the credentials. User is not connected to the Internet.


  • Not Connected. User has no Internet connection.
