Auto Update Overview
Auto Update assesses whether devices are automatically installing new versions of their operating systems. Devices satisfy this Trust Factor only if updates are automatically installed; auto-checking for updates will not satisfy this Trust Factor.
How to add Auto Update as a Trust Factor
-
In Banyan’s Command Center, navigate from Trust > Profiles.
-
Either select an existing Trust Profile or create a new one.
-
Under the Trust Factors tab, select + Add Trust Factors if creating a new Trust Profile; select Edit and then +Add Trust Factors if adding new Trust Factors to an existing Trust Profile. Select Auto Update.
-
Set the Trust Effect.
