Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Sophos Mobile is a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution that allows companies to easily manage, control and secure Android, iOS, macOS, Windows 10 and Chrome devices (like Chromebooks) from a single web console. The Sophos Mobile Control app allows you to enroll your device with Sophos Mobile. Your organization can then configure device policies, distribute apps and further secure your device. IMPORTANT: This app will not function without the appropriate Sophos management console in place. Only install the app if advised by your organization. Key features • Report the device compliance status. • Trigger device synchronization with the Sophos Mobile management console. • Install apps from an Enterprise App Store. • Display all compliance violations. • Find the device when it’s lost or stolen. • Receive messages from the Sophos Mobile management console. • Display privacy and support information. The app uses the Device Administrator permission. The app can access the device’s location in the background to let your organization find the device when it’s lost or stolen. The app doesn’t routinely monitor or record your location. Sophos Mobile supports the extended MDM management features of devices with Samsung Knox, LG GATE or SONY Enterprise API.
