Security State Template

This template creates a configuration that hides or denies access to applications in the session based on the security state of the local device. It can be found in the COMPLIANT APPLICATION ACCESS category when filtered for LOCAL platform.

If the security state of the local device is unprotected, you can choose between two actions:

  • Hides applications with FSLogix App Masking based on the security state.
  • Denies access to applications with Microsoft AppLocker based on the security state.

deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your local environment. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your local environment.

We will perform the following steps:

  1. Step 1: Prerequisites
  2. Step 2: Contexts
  3. Step 3: Actions

Step 1: Prerequisites

If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started for Local guide and complete step 1 to 4 and then continue here with step 2 below.

Step 2: Contexts

The template has imported the following contexts:

Context Description Customizations
Security State Defines the security status of the local device. None
Note:
  • If a context is not needed, it can be deactivated or deleted. In addition, the corresponding task sequence within the relevant action must be deleted too.

Step 3: Actions

The template includes an FSLogix App Masking and a Microsoft AppLocker enforcement action that actively controls access to applications, depending on the technology available. By default both actions are disabled.

Action Description Default State Customizations
Security State - Conditional Application Access - Enforcement - FSLogix App Masking

Note:
  • If both actions have been disabled, the contexts will still be created.
