Introduction

Cerberus Enterprise is a comprehensive EMM solution, designed to help you secure and manage your Android devices. It has all the right features for effective management of BYOD and company-owned devices in a clean and user friendly dashboard, and you can get started in minutes.

To effectively use Cerberus Enterprise you need to understand some key concepts about how the system works.

The system is based on Google's official Android Management API, a solution that allow enterprises to effectively manage work devices through the Android Device Policy app (ADP), that is able to control enrolled Android devices. Most of the functionalities are enforced on devices directly from ADP, however we also use an additional companion app, specific for Cerberus Enterprise, that enables some additional functionalites, currently not supported by ADP.

Each device can be enrolled into the system using a Enrollment token, that can be created from the dashboard. Each enrollment token had a associated Policy, that contains all the defined rules that should be applied to devices. 

IT admins can change the policy associated to a device after the enrollment, however each device can be associated to only one policy at a time.

During the enrollment (provisioning) process, the Android Device Policy app and Cerberus Enterprise companion app are automatically installed on the device. Consequently, the corresponding policy is automatically applied on the device, and all the associated rules will be enforced by ADP and Cerberus Enterprise.

A policy can be applied to many devices. In this case, when you modify the policy, all the associated devices will receive the changes.
