Securely managing digital assistants that access third-party applications

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions executed by at least one processor to perform stages for accessing a secured application within an enterprise mobility management (“EMM”) system using a digital assistant, the stages comprising:

• receiving, at a secured backend server within an EMM system, a request to access a secured application from a digital assistant outside the EMM system;
• determining, by the secured backend server, that first user information received from the digital assistant matches second user information received from a remote application installed on a user device previously enrolled in the EMM system;
• sending, from the secured backend server, a notification of the request to the remote application installed on the user device;
• and
• in response to the notification, receiving a confirmation at the secured backend server granting the digital assistant access to the secured application from the remote application installed on the user device.
