The Endpoint Compliance Checks feature on Unified Access Gateway provides an extra layer of security for accessing Horizon desktops in addition to the other user authentication services that are available on Unified Access Gateway.
You can use the Endpoint Compliance Checks feature to ensure compliance to various policies such as an antivirus policy or encryption policy on endpoints, for example.
Endpoint compliance policy is defined on a service running in cloud or On-Premises.
If Endpoint Compliance Checks is enabled, Unified Access Gateway allows only compliant VDI desktops to be launched and blocks launching of all non-compliant endpoints.
