What is included in a Device Profile aside from antimalware checks?

The inclusion of file and directory checks in a Device Profile is correct because Device Profiles are meant to ensure that the endpoints accessing the network are compliant with certain security standards. This involves validating the integrity of files and the configuration of directories on the device. File checks can help identify vulnerabilities, unauthorized changes, or malware signatures that may threaten the security of the network.

On the other hand, while network security settings could be part of the overall security posture, they are not the focus of the Device Profile, which centers more on the health and security status of the endpoint itself, including its file system state. Physical device specifications generally refer to hardware attributes and do not contribute directly to the compliance or security checks necessary for accessing secured resources. Similarly, user login history pertains more to user behavior and authentication rather than the specific security posture of the device itself. Thus, file and directory checks align perfectly with the purpose of the Device Profile.
