Host Information Profile (HIP) assessment with the Global Protect VPN

The USNH VPN performs an assessment of any device that connects.   The HIP data is used to determine the security of the endpoint.  That data is then used, in conjunction with the user identity, to determine which resources are accessible.

The USNH standard it to restrict access to secured resources to computers that are managed by the enterprise.  While computers that are not managed can still connect to the VPN, as long as they meet certain basic requirements, there will be certain resources that they will not be able access.

When connecting to a USNH VPN from an unmanaged device, you may receive a pop-up message that looks like this.
