Mobile Authentication
In many respects, mobile devices are no different than remote PCs when it comes to requiring strong authentication to securely authenticate users to enterprise networks, such as WiFi and VPNs. Certificate-based authentication via GlobalSign’s Managed PKI platform provides an easy and cost efficient solution that allows organizations to balance employee desires to access email and corporate data on the go, and the need to protect unauthorized access to key business applications.
Enhance Mobile Security with PKI
PKI is a known and trusted security technology that organizations have been using for decades to authenticate users, machines, and servers within their organizations. Expanding PKI to devices creates an easy to implement and cost effective identity management solution for devices.
Digital Certificates can be used on mobile devices for:
Email Encryption and Signing
