Untrusted connectors can withhold posture data or weaken the trust boundary if blindly accepted. That danger is more directly associated with fortigate ems connector authorization. The neglected condition in this question instead exposes the organization to: Missing analysis telemetry can conceal compromised endpoints from tag-based enforcement.

Oversharing posture and endpoint identifiers can expose unnecessary internal host visibility. That danger is more directly associated with fabric tag sharing scope. The neglected condition in this question instead exposes the organization to: Missing analysis telemetry can conceal compromised endpoints from tag-based enforcement.

Stale tag membership can leave untrusted devices admitted or legitimate devices incorrectly blocked. That danger is more directly associated with security posture tag synchronization. The neglected condition in this question instead exposes the organization to: Missing analysis telemetry can conceal compromised endpoints from tag-based enforcement.
