Kolide is a device trust and compliance platform that integrates with Okta to enforce Zero Trust access control. It evaluates device security posture before allowing users to authenticate into corporate applications, blocking access from devices that do not meet defined security requirements. The platform monitors devices across Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, collecting thousands of data points to assess device health and compliance. Checks cover areas such as disk encryption (FileVault, BitLocker), firewall status, SSH settings, system integrity, software update status, browser extensions, and more. When a device fails a compliance check, Kolide surfaces the issue directly to the end user — explaining what the problem is, why it matters, and providing step-by-step remediation instructions. This reduces IT support burden by enabling employees to self-remediate without opening a helpdesk ticket. Kolide positions itself around "Honest Security," emphasizing end-user privacy and transparency as core principles. Rather than silently blocking or monitoring users, it communicates openly with employees about what is being checked and why.
