Yes its normally a corporate thing to stop insecure machines being on the
system.
More the other way around - it allows the client of the network to
ascertain that the network is in fact the genuine thing. Otherwise, a
black hat could stick up a "phishing" wifi network with the same name as
the company one, and wait for devices to connect and try and
authenticate. Either for a MITM attack or just attempting to steal
credentials.
