Sophos has added endpoint protection for mobile devices to its enterprise security offerings.

"Sophos unveiled the Sophos Mobile Control, a new mobile-device-management platform that will allow IT departments to securely protect all employee devices, on May 17," writes eWeek's Fahmida Y. Rashid. "The company also updated its SafeGuard Enterprise software and Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection platform to provide better support for data encryption."

"With Sophos Mobile Control, IT administrators can configure security settings for all devices and lock down unwanted features, such as disabling the camera," Rashid writes. "They can also enforce policies, such as making sure that sites that employees can’t browse on the desktop are also blocked on their mobile browsers."
