GEC NEWS WIRESMC 5 Redefines Enterprise Mobility Management
“With more workers choosing to use their personal devices for business, IT managers have been faced with the complexity of managing corporate security, and adhering personal data privacy laws. Managing upwards of four devices per user brings considerable risk into the business, and unnecessarily diverts precious IT resource. By focusing on the user permissions, and with remote management and self-service capability, SMC 5 sets a new standard for usability and simplicity. The redesigned user interface and intuitive workflows make security and management of mobile devices a simple task that takes minimal time” says Dan Schiappa, SVP and GM of Sophos’ Enduser Security Group.
Sophos has introduced Sophos Mobile Control 5 (SMC 5), to further simplify mobile device management by setting security and data policy by user, across all three major mobile platforms in one solution. New management options enable an administrator to easily achieve the separation and encryption of personal and corporate information, as well as configure access and security settings through automated tasks, reducing management time and costs. With a re-designed self-service portal, Sophos Mobile Control 5 makes compliance with corporate security policy simple for both administrator and end user across iOS 8, Windows Phone and Android platforms.
“Our relationship with Sophos has allowed us to provide the most comprehensive security to our clients, while still ensuring that we can scale to our customers’ needs. We are testing Sophos Mobile Control 5 and are not only impressed by the easy-to-use console but also by the ability to separate business and personal information. Our current Sophos Mobile Control customers are happy with the complete security this Sophos solution brings to the table and our potential customers are excited about the features in the latest release. This latest version compliments the Sophos story nicely and, as a company, we look forward to taking our clients’ security to the next level.” Michelle Drolet, CEO, Towerwall, Inc. a Sophos partner in North America.
