In many ways, mobile devices require the same strong authentication as remote PCs to securely connect users to enterprise networks like WiFi and VPNs. Certificate-based authentication through GlobalSign’s Managed PKI platform offers an efficient and cost-effective solution, allowing organizations to meet employees’ needs for mobile access to email and corporate data, while safeguarding against unauthorized access to critical business applications.
PKI is a trusted and proven security technology that organizations have relied on for decades to authenticate users, machines, and servers. Extending PKI to mobile devices offers an easy-to-implement and cost-effective identity management solution.
Digital certificates can be used on mobile devices for:
Encrypt and digitally sign email communications sent via devices, ensuring privacy of sensitive information and proof of authorship/message origin.
Enable email authentication for 24 x 7 email access without leaving email accounts vulnerable to intruders. Only authorized devices will be able to access your corporate email servers.
Replace weak and vulnerable username and passwords with multi-factor authentication for corporate Wi-Fi and VPN connections, only approved devices will be able to access your enterprise connections.
