Zero-touch enrollment

With Android zero-touch enrollment, you can enroll corporate-owned Android devices in bulk.

Zero-touch enabled devices automatically enroll with Sophos Mobile as an Android Enterprise fully managed device when the users turn them on.

For details on Google zero-touch enrollment, see the Google zero-touch website and Android Enterprise Help: Zero-touch enrollment for IT admins.
