Sophos Mobile Threat Defense connector with Intune

You can control mobile device access to corporate resources using Conditional Access based on risk assessment conducted by Sophos Mobile, a Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) solution that integrates with Microsoft Intune. Risk is assessed based on telemetry collected from devices running the Sophos Mobile app. You can configure Conditional Access policies based on Sophos Mobile risk assessment enabled through Intune device compliance policies, which you can use to allow or block noncompliant devices to access corporate resources based on detected threats.

How do Intune and Sophos Mobile help protect your company resources?

Sophos Mobile app for Android and iOS captures file system, network stack, device, and application telemetry where available, and then sends the telemetry data to the Sophos Mobile cloud service to assess the device's risk for mobile threats. The Intune device compliance policy includes a rule for Sophos Mobile Threat Defense, which is based on the Sophos Mobile risk assessment. When this rule is enabled, Intune evaluates device compliance with the policy that you enabled. If the device is found noncompliant, users are blocked access to corporate resources like Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. Users also receive guidance from the Sophos Mobile app installed in their devices to resolve the issue and regain access to corporate resources.
