3 min read

TL;DR

Remotely issue certificates to Android devices via Applivery policies for secure access to corporate resources, ensuring secure access for remote workers.

Certificates play a crucial role in identifying and authenticating mobile devices, enabling secure access to corporate resources like G Suite and enterprise WiFi hotspots.

Some organizations require devices to be on-premises and behind a firewall to distribute device certificates. However, as some users can no longer access corporate locations and networks, there is a need for a way to issue these certificates remotely.

With this feature, organizations can ensure their users remain connected and productive, even while working remotely.
