Trusted Devices
Twingate allows admins to designate specific devices as trusted, thus allowing defining Security Policies that take this status into account. Devices can be marked as trusted via the Devices tab in the admin console or on a specific device page.
This policy requirement can be enforced for any device with the Twingate client app, regardless of platform or location. For information on incorporating device trust into Security Policies, see Trusted Devices.
