Consequences can be serious. Data theft, ransomware, and unauthorized changes are all risks. An attacker can move laterally due to open networks, steal or destroy data, and even sabotage operations. For example, a device might seem safe, but then it picks up malware, has its endpoint protection disabled, connects to a compromised server in the finance department network, and moves laterally in the organization. Without continuous visibility and risk assessment for endpoint security posture, the compromised device keeps its access to your applications, networks, and workloads, silently creating a high-risk scenario. CrowdStrike Falcon Zero Trust Assessment provides continuous, real-time evaluation of endpoint security posture, so organizations can enforce conditional access to corporate resources based on device risk and compliance, stopping threats before breaches occur. CrowdStrike Falcon seamlessly integrates with VersaOne to deliver intelligent, adaptive Zero Trust access. VersaOne leverages the CrowdStrike Zero Trust Assessment score, also known as the ZTA score, to make dynamic, risk-aware access decisions in real-time. Incorporating the device's ZTA score, VersaOne automatically applies least-privilege access policies, ensuring that access is granted only to healthy, trusted endpoints. In this example, the end-user's device has a high, trusted ZTA score. As a result, the device is granted full access to authorized SaaS applications, approved internet destinations, private apps, and even critical corporate network segments. The result? Frictionless access for trusted devices and strong security protection for corporate resources. But what happens when things go wrong? The CrowdStrike Falcon agent detects a newly downloaded ransomware file, the device's Zero Trust Assessment score drops, VersaOne detects the score drop, and automatically takes action based on policies defined by the security administrator. First, access to SaaS applications is limited. Only the most essential, low-risk services remain available. Internet access stays open, allowing the user to find remediation guidance or download approved cleanup tools. Private application access is denied outright, protecting sensitive internal services from potential compromise. Corporate network access is severely restricted. Just enough connectivity for helpdesk diagnostics, nothing more. So, how are these policy actions configured? With Versa, security has evolved from static, one-size-fits-all rules to AI-powered, adaptive policies that respond in real-time. At the heart of this is the Versa Unified Entity Risk Profile, a powerful assessment that combines data from across the infrastructure to assess the true risk of a user or device. This includes signals from Versa's own AI-powered behavioral analytics, alongside third-party integrations with EDR, vulnerability management, and threat intelligence platforms. Security admins can configure how this data is combined and weighted to generate a unified endpoint risk score tailored to their organization's priorities. This score then directly informs security guardrail and network access decisions and determines what level of inline security processing is applied. The result? Smarter, context-aware security that adapts as risk evolves, automatically. Whenever a device connects, the system automatically checks its current Versa risk score. It then looks up the corresponding secure access and inline security policies assigned to that specific user and device. In this example, the user's risk score falls into the trustworthy or low-risk band. As a result, they're granted full access to all of their authorized SaaS applications, approved internet destinations, private apps, and corporate network segments. All of it delivered seamlessly, securely, and based on real-time risk intelligence. In this example, for a user with high risk and suspicious score, the secured access is limited to some applications and monitored and enforced with inline security.
