Mobile security
Device Security– Sophos Intercept X for Mobile continuously monitors all devices from Androids to Ios to Chrome of its health and notifies you if your device gets compromised. This enables a user to take the required remediating action or automatically revoke access to corporate resources via Admin. The device security advisors detect all signs of jailbreaking or rooting attempts and inform users and admin of necessary operating system (OS) updates.
Network Security– Sophos Intercept X creates a primary line of defence at the mobile network level on Android and iOS network while making sure that your connections are examined in real time to check for suspicious characteristics that may identify an attack. This helps mitigate the dangers of Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks while web filtering and URL checking stops access to known bad sites on mobile devices, while SMS phishing detection spots malicious URLs.
Application Security– Sophos Intercept X for Mobile can detect any malicious and potentially undesirable applications installed on Android devices using the Intercept X deep learning technology. This feature notifies the users and admins if the threat status of a device happens to change. Its seamless integration with Microsoft Intune allows administrators to create conditional access policies and restricting access to applications and data when a threat is detected.
Centralized Deployment, Configuration, and Reporting– Sophos Intercept X for Mobile can be centrally configured from Sophos Central, which hosts Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platform. This enables the deployment to occur via existing app store with user enrolment, or the app can be pushed using existing UEM’s like Sophos Mobile or third-party Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) tools.
Sophos Mobile combines Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and Mobile Threat Defence (MTD) into a single solution to scale back the efforts that are needed to manage and secure mobile endpoints in a BYOD network. Its uniform policies ensure consistency to protect sensitive business data and its users on any mobile platform.
