Trust Factors
An overview of Trust Factors, their origin, and their impact on devices’ Trust Levels
Trust Factors Overview
A Trust Factor is an attribute (visible to end users on their devices) that is evaluated against admin-defined criteria, used as input in the device Trust Scoring calculation. There are two types of Trust Factors: Cloud Secure Edge-sourced factors and externally sourced factors. Cloud Secure Edge-sourced factors are available when the app is deployed onto a user’s device; Externally sourced factors require a Trust Integration to be configured.
Admins select which Trust Factors will be applied to specific sets of devices when creating a Trust Profile. Devices that match a given Trust Profile’s criteria then must also satisfy the Trust Factors applied to them, in order to maintain a high Trust Level. Information on Trust Factor satisfaction is collected from devices and continuously evaluated in the Command Center.
