Enterprise Agent (EA) refers to an application by 42Gears, which is signed by the device manufacturers (OEMs) to enable administrators to use advanced lockdown and management features of 42Gears products on the device.

42Gears offers various products to address security and management challenges faced by enterprises while deploying Android devices for business use. Enterprise Agent (EA), when used with these products, gives the admin the power to control OS level features and perform advanced monitoring and controlling of the devices.

Multiple OEMs have partnered with 42Gears to offer the advance lockdown and management features on the device.

Below is the general process to get an EA for a device:
