How it works
Device Trust from Android Enterprise provides device signals on managed and unmanaged Android devices to enterprise security providers. It provides a comprehensive set of device trust signals — including management state, network state, and more — enabling continuous evaluation of a device’s security posture without disrupting users. These signals are bundled for easy and secure access via a diverse set of security solutions provided by Android’s partner ecosystem.
