How to Setup Endpoint Verification on Computer?

Endpoint Verification

Endpoint Verification: Administrators use endpoint verification to verify device access to the organization’s data. The device security and management features available in Google endpoint management depend on the Google Workspace edition your organization uses.  The endpoint needs a Chrome web browser and is available as a web store extension. The endpoint verification allows the Google Workspace administrators to view the OS, device status, and user information. If the user accesses the work account, the administrator wants the user to set endpoint verification. It makes the administrator review the information about the user’s device. It controls the user access to the apps based on the location, device, security access, and other attributes. Device verification was performed using Google endpoint management.
