Device Access Group

Device Access Group is a new engineering team with a vision to secure customers’ devices and build the most secure and delightful identity experience in the platform.

Once logged in, we let users access their resources in the browser or through a native application without any additional authentication. We introduce and enhance an identity-centric approach for the entire device experience where a user goes through privilege escalation or logs in remotely.
