Device Posture checks on on-premises NetScaler Gateway

Citrix Device Posture service is a cloud-based solution that helps admins enforce certain requirements that the end devices must meet to gain access to Citrix Secure Private Access resources, such as SaaS/ Web and TCP/UDP apps. Establishing device trust by checking the device’s posture is critical for implementing zero-trust-based access. Device Posture service enforces zero trust principles in your network by checking the end devices for compliance (managed/BYOD and security posture) before allowing an end user to log in. For details on the Device Posture service, see Device Posture.
