About this app

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

• Install apps from an Enterprise App Store.
• Display all compliance violations.
