Posture assessment is a feature of Cisco ISE that allows you to check the compliance of endpoints

with corporate security policies before allowing them to access the network1. Posture assessment

can detect missing patches on endpoints and help with remediation by applying the appropriate

posture policy and requirement2. Posture assessment can also check for the presence and status of

security software, such as antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and so on3. Posture assessment is one of

the core security technologies covered in the Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core

Technologies (SCOR) course4, which prepares you for the Cisco CCNP Security and CCIE Security

certifications and for senior-level security roles. Reference: 1: Posture Service 2: Configure Posture
