What does device isolation enable for endpoints with a red health status?

Device isolation is a critical feature designed to enhance security for endpoints identified as having a red health status, which typically indicates a significant security concern, such as malware presence or a critical update needed. When a device is isolated, it is effectively removed from the network, preventing it from communicating with other devices and accessing potentially compromised resources. This action is vital as it mitigates the risk of spreading malware or threats to other devices on the network.

By isolating the device, administrators can take the necessary steps to remediate the issue without exposing the rest of the network to potential harm. This functionality ensures that immediate action can be taken on compromised endpoints while maintaining the security of the network as a whole. Other options, while important components of endpoint security, do not specifically address the purpose of device isolation in this context.
