# Integrating device profiling

You can optionally send a device profile to PingOne Protect.

## About this task

You can find detailed descriptions of each method in [Device profiling methods](pf_p1_protect_ik_device_profiling_methods.html).

## Steps

* To send a device profile to PingOne Protect, do one of the following:

  | Method                                                                                            | Steps                                                                                                                                                            |
