Sophos has announced that its mobile device management and security platform, Sophos Mobile Control (SMC), will immediately support iOS 7, Apple's latest mobile operating system, which was announced today.
Sophos Mobile Control is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses looking for a simple, secure way to enable employees to use mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Android and Windows Phones to get work done.
In addition to delivering iOS 7 support, Sophos announced an update for customers to manage the new business-focused features of Apple's latest version from the easy-to-use Sophos Web-based console, deployed either on-premise or as software as a service (SaaS).
According to Gartner, Apple iOS 7 includes more enterprise enhancements than any release since iOS 4.0 introduced mobile device management APIs. Version 3.6 of Sophos Mobile Control enables enterprises of all sizes to protect corporate data, with many new enhancements, including:
* Separation of company and personal data
* Per app VPN
* A new volume purchasing programme (VPP)
* Remote configuration of apps
"Mobile devices in the workplace have become the rule, not the exception," says Brett Myroff, CEO of Sophos distributor, NetXactics.
"Sophos Mobile Control provides simple-to-deploy mobile device management and security that will keep employees happy and productive, minimise the workload for IT, and give managers confidence that the company's data is protected. iOS 7 is a huge step forward in enabling personal devices to be used securely at work, and Sophos is extending the benefits to partners and customers," he adds.
