Abstract
Disclosed are various approaches for providing authentication of a user and a client device. A user's credentials can be authenticated by an identity provider. In addition, a device posture assessment that analyzes the device from which the authentication request originates is also performed. An authentication request can be authenticated based upon whether the device posture assessment reveals that device to be a managed device that is in compliance with compliance rules.
