Google has launched Device Trust from Android Enterprise—a new solution designed to verify and secure any Android device used for work, whether managed or unmanaged. By leveraging the Android Management API to continuously assess a device’s security posture, Device Trust helps protect against data breaches caused by outdated security patches, on-device malware, and weak lock screen credentials.

With the rise of hybrid work, more employees are using Android devices to access company resources, frequently without adequate security measures in place. 54% of organizations have reported data breaches resulting from unauthorized access to sensitive or confidential information on employee mobile devices.

Principle of Zero Trust

Rooted in the core principles of Zero Trust, this new solution provides businesses with real-time visibility into a device’s security posture before granting access to sensitive data, regardless of whether the device is managed through an enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution.

Integrated Systems 

Mobile security has traditionally been handled in isolation, separate from endpoint and identity security. Device Trust from Android Enterprise is changing that. Through integrations with leading security partners such as CrowdStrike, Okta, Omnissa, Urmobo, and Zimperium, it delivers over 20 Android-specific security signals directly into the tools your security team already relies on—including unified endpoint management (UEM) platforms, identity providers (IdPs), and more.

Fast Onboarding 

Device Trust from Android Enterprise enables consultants and short-term workers to securely access company apps without requiring a corporate IT setup. When their engagement ends, access to applications can be instantly revoked using the employee’s work credentials.

Real-Time Threat Response 

With direct access to on-device trust signals, your IT team can make faster, more informed security decisions. For example, if a device is lost, integrated partner tools can immediately initiate forensic analysis. If a device is running an outdated operating system, access can be automatically restricted. These proactive controls not only enhance incident response but also significantly reduce security risks across your mobile environment.
