- **WARP allows you to build rich device posture rules.** The WARP client provides advanced Zero Trust protection by making it possible to check for [device posture](/cloudflare-one/identity/devices/). By setting up device posture checks, you can build Zero Trust policies that check for a device's location, disk encryption status, OS version, and more.
- Review the [first-time setup](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/set-up-warp/) guide to [install](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/download-warp/) and [deploy](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/deployment/) the WARP client on your corporate devices.
- Review possible [WARP modes](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/configure-warp/warp-modes/) and [settings](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/configure-warp/warp-settings/) to best suit your organization's needs.
- Explore [Cloudflare Gateway policies](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/) to leverage advanced web filtering, anti-virus scanning, and HTTP policies with WARP.

Should we generalize this point to include DNS, network, and egress policies?


The WARP client comprises of:

- Graphical User Interface (GUI): User-friendly control panel to view WARP's [status](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/troubleshooting/connectivity-status/).

  • The current GUI is not very user-friendly. Hopefully this will change with the upcoming new GUI!
  • Removed the link because WARP shows other connectivity and device info beyond what's in the doc.
  • Many end user settings available such as choosing a virtual network, switching modes, enabling LAN access, etc..
