As a Leader in the IDC MarketScape, Sophos Intercept X for Mobile has robust capabilities in protecting Android, iOS and Chrome OS users from known and never before seen mobile threats.
The solution is supported with threat analysis from SophosLabs, which analyzes more than 400,000 daily malware samples to stay ahead of emerging threats, such as Fleeceware – a new type of mobile threat discovered by Sophos as applications that overcharge users for basic functionality available elsewhere on low cost or free applications.
Sophos Intercept X for Mobile also features strong integrations – including with the Sophos Mobile unified endpoint management (UEM); easy management in the cloud-based Sophos Central platform, which includes Sophos’ entire portfolio of next-generation cybersecurity solutions; and ongoing innovative research and development efforts.
According to the report, “Sophos' combination of MTM and UEM products is rare among MTM vendors and unique among vendors in this study.
This combination gives Sophos a strong advantage in situations where enterprises want a single vendor for both mobile device management and security enforcement.”
Sophos Intercept X for Mobile is an industry leader with protection against sophisticated and evolving cybersecurity threats.
Device, network and application security protect against jailbreaking, mobile phishing, Man-in-the-Middle attacks, malicious applications, and more.
With Sophos’ unique synchronized security approach, users further benefit with real-time information sharing and threat response across other Sophos solutions.
“Mobile devices are ripe targets for a range of attacks, and the risks have never been higher than in today’s remote working environments where employees are using personal and company-owned devices to access sensitive data,” said Dan Schiappa, chief product officer at Sophos.
“Sophos is relentless in its commitment to securing users – no matter where they are or what device they’re using.
We’re constantly innovating to stay ahead of emerging threats, and our leadership position is validation that we’re succeeding in doing exactly that.”
