Which BigFix platform component continuously assesses the state of the computer against all subscribed content?

A BigFix Client is a software agent that is installed on every computer that must be managed by the BigFix platform1.

The BigFix Client continuously assesses the state of the computer against all subscribed content, which includes policies, checklists, and remediation tasks12.

The BigFix Client communicates with its parent, which can be either the BigFix Server or a BigFix Relay, to report its status and receive new content13.

The BigFix Client performs most of the analysis, processing, and enforcement work locally, reducing the workload and bandwidth usage of the BigFix Server14.

The BigFix Client operates with less than 10 megabytes of RAM and can run on various operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, UNIX, and Mac OS1 . References:
