Access apps directly

You can check that users have access as follows:

  1. On a computer with Windows Hello turned on, sign in and access any agent-based app.

  2. On the task bar, double-click the Sophos icon to open Sophos Endpoint. You see that Zero Trust Network Access is configured and that the user is authenticated.
