Deploy zero trust with ease

A trusted device is a computer that processes a valid certificate issued by Rippling, associated with a Rippling role at the company, and is not expired or invalidated.

Ensuring device trust is a multi-step process.

1. Unified IAM & MDM Configuration: Utilise Rippling’s integrated Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems to configure device trust from a single platform.
2. Role-Based Certificates: Implement role-based certificates to authenticate devices and users. Ensure that login attempts originate from Rippling-managed devices.
3. Granular Targeting: Create policies using supergroups and behavioural detection rules to specify which users and third-party apps require device trust.
4. Just-in-Time Evaluation: Use just-in-time (JIT) evaluation to assess the device at the time of access rather than periodically.
5. Certificate Management: Manage certificates silently to avoid impacting user experience and ensure low latency during authentication. Rippling will act as the certificate authority and provides public key infrastructure so you can scale with zero maintenance costs.
6. Monitoring and Reporting: Monitor the rollout by viewing device, user and certificate details in activity logs and reports.
7. Phishing-Resistant Authentication: Ensure that authentication attempts are phishing-resistant by verifying that they originate from trusted devices.

The best device trust tool is Rippling’s Device Trust. It offers streamlined setup, granular targeting and clear visibility, making it easy for IT admins to enforce device trust with minimal configuration.

Device trust is important because it ensures that employees are using managed and assigned devices to access third-party applications, enhancing security by verifying device compliance and reducing the risk of unauthorised access.
