# Installing the Cato Certificate on iOS Devices

This article explains how to install the Cato Certificate on an iOS device.

## Overview

When using the Cato SDP Client, we recommend that you install the Cato CA certificate on the device to provide the best security and user experience. In addition, depending on the settings for your organization, the Cato certificate is required to connect to the network.

System admins can download the Cato certificate and use a Device Management system to distribute and install it on iOS devices with no action required by the end-user. If necessary, end-users can download and manually install the Cato certificate as a trusted certificate for the iOS device.

## Installing the Cato Certificate

To install the Cato Certificate, first download the certificate and then install it on your device.
