Based on the provided exhibits, the reason why the Win7-Pro endpoint can no longer access the internet through FortiSASE is due to exceeding the total vulnerability detected threshold. This threshold is used to determine if a device is compliant with the security requirements to access the network.
Endpoint Compliance:
FortiSASE monitors endpoint compliance by assessing various security parameters, including the number of vulnerabilities detected on the device.
The compliance status is indicated by the ZTNA tags and the vulnerabilities detected.
Vulnerability Threshold:
The exhibit shows that Win7-Pro has 176 vulnerabilities detected, whereas Win10-Pro has 140 vulnerabilities.
If the endpoint exceeds a predefined vulnerability threshold, it may be restricted from accessing the network to ensure overall network security.
Impact on Network Access:
Since Win7-Pro has exceeded the vulnerability threshold, it is marked as non-compliant and subsequently loses internet access through FortiSASE.
The FortiSASE endpoint profile enforces this compliance check to prevent potentially vulnerable devices from accessing the internet.
