Intune Mobile Threat Defense

You can configure Sophos Mobile as a Mobile Threat Defense vendor for Microsoft Intune.

Intune is a Microsoft service to manage mobile devices and apps. With Mobile Threat Defense, you connect Sophos Mobile to your Intune account and use the security status reported by Sophos Intercept X for Mobile to control access to work resources.

You set up Mobile Threat Defense both in Sophos Mobile Admin and in the Microsoft Azure portal. See Set up Mobile Threat Defense.

For additional information, see Sophos Mobile Threat Defense connector with Intune.
