Mobile Device Management enforces device compliance — OS version, encryption status, jailbreak detection, and certificate presence — as a real-time input to Zero Trust access decisions, ensuring that only healthy, managed endpoints can reach sensitive applications regardless of network location. With the proliferation of BYOD and corporate-liable mobile fleets, MDM has become a mandatory component of Zero Trust device trust, referenced explicitly in NIST 800-124 and required by frameworks including FedRAMP High and CMMC Level 2.
