Overview
Sophos Mobile Security protects your Android device without compromising performance or battery life. Real-time synchronization with SophosLabs ensures that your mobile device is always protected from the latest malware and online threats – just like with our enterprise products.
Specifically designed for Android, Sophos Mobile Security identifies malicious or potentially unwanted applications that could result in for example data theft, data loss, and excessive network usage costs. If your device is lost or stolen, a remote lock or wipe will shield your personal information from prying eyes.
For an added level of security for your online accounts, the Authenticator makes it easy to manage multi-factor authentication passwords for a multitude of sites like Google, Amazon, and Facebook. The Secure QR Code Scanner will check target URLs for online threats and malicious content, letting you scan QR codes without risk.
