As businesses move towards mobilizing their workforce, the need for protection is more critical because we store a lot of sensitive data on these devices. This involves protecting portable devices such as laptops, tablets, smart watches, and phones against cyber threats. As more and more people access their emails through a portable device, your mobile phone is the most vulnerable to attacks. For instance, the more emails you open, the higher the prospects of you clicking on a phishing link.

This blog covers how Intercept X for Mobile protects users, their devices, and corporate data from known and never-before-seen mobile threats by leveraging our market leading Intercept X deep learning engine. It is all deployed by us, as your national cybersecurity partners and is managed seamlessly through Sophos Central, under the Sophos portfolio of next-generation cybersecurity solutions.

Why Sophos Intercept X for Mobile Is The Ideal Choice For Your Mobile.

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.
