Hello heenakhanam0708​ 
Yes, Access guard is no longer working, there are still some server side monitoring posture still supported, the non-supported is relying on Access Guard for the continuous monitoring. So, you can implement initla posture check at per-session level if needed at the start of the session, and some server side monitoring on the per-request. 

The article you referenced should work if you have CrowdStrike or other 3rd party that perform continuous device posture assessment, then you can rely on HTTP Connector to fetch the status and extend the actions to the passing traffic. 

I would recommend testing that with your Account / PS team as the article looks from 2019, just in case any changes to the windows registry keys used or CrowdStrike APIs. 

I hope this answers your query.
