-## Integration Overview
+## Integration overview
 
 Cloudflare Zero Trust can integrate with SentinelOne to enforce device-based access policies for applications and resources. The integration works through a service-to-service posture check that identifies devices based on their serial numbers. This allows organizations to ensure that only managed and secure devices can access sensitive resources.

-At the heart of the architecture lies the Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform, which consists of three main engines working in concert. The Device Posture Engine serves as the first line of defense, actively querying the SentinelOne platform to verify the device's security status. It checks multiple attributes including infection status, active threats, agent health, and network connectivity state. This information forms the foundation for access decisions.
