What's Endpoint Verification?
Endpoint Verification is a tool that allows an administrator in your organization to see information about computers that are accessing corporate data. For admins to use Endpoint Verification, you need to install Chrome Browser, the Endpoint Verification extension, and possibly the native helper app on your computer. If you do, your admin can see:
- Your device ID, serial number, device type, and operating system.
- Your name and corporate email address.
- The first and last time your computer synchronized corporate data. And, if it’s encrypted and has a password. For devices running Chrome OS, your admin can also see whether your device adheres to your organization’s policies.
