Both apps are available for free download from Google Play at<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sophos.smsec\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sophos.smsec<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=sophos&amp;c=apps\">https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=sophos&amp;c=apps<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the recent Worldwide Smartphone 2012-2016 Forecast Update by IDC<a title=\"\" href=\"#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>, Android-powered phones make up 69 percent of the smartphone market. Many of these Android owners are using their devices to access business applications and related documents, including those on cloud storage solutions like Dropbox. As such, businesses must ensure data is secure and free from malware regardless of where it is stored or how it is accessed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Scheduling Malware Scans and Preventing Device Loss <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sophos Mobile Security is a free lightweight anti-virus app that protects Android devices against malware, privacy issues and hardware loss\u2014without reducing performance or battery life. Among the enhancements in the new version, Sophos Mobile Security includes additional loss and theft mitigation features as well as the ability to schedule device scans for malware.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By scheduling scans, users can ensure they are consistently monitoring their devices for the latest malware. The enhanced loss and theft protection features allow pre-selected contacts from a user\u2019s address book to send remote commands to a missing device via text message. These commands can help users find a misplaced phone by sounding a loud ringtone, sending a message to the phone for a finder to read, or wipe the device\u2019s information if it is stolen or permanently lost. These features minimize the impact of losing a device and help to protect corporate data from unauthorized access.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Access Documents Stored in the Cloud <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sophos Mobile Encryption allows Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise customers who use the Encryption for Cloud Storage module to securely view documents saved in Dropbox on their Android device. This ensures data encrypted by SafeGuard before being uploaded to the cloud is protected regardless of where or how the user accesses it. Users simply enter their password, and they can view encrypted documents on their mobile devices without compromising corporate security. An <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/sophos-mobile-encryption\/id513886291?mt=8\">iOS version of this app<\/a> is already available via Apple\u2019s App Store, and Sophos plans to support further cloud storage providers such as Egnyte and Google Drive with future releases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cUsers want to stay flexible and take advantage of personal apps in their working environment. They use Dropbox to take their data with them and can be tempted to download apps from stores other than Google Play. As Android increases its global market share, Android devices and apps are becoming a prime target for data theft and attacks by cybercriminals. It has never been more important for individuals to have security applications on their devices,\u201d said Matthias Pankert, vice president, product management, Sophos. \u201cOur mobile security and encryption apps make it simple for Android users to have secure access to data no matter where it is stored or accessed, and provide organizations with peace of mind if a device is lost or stolen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<hr align=\"left\" size=\"1\" width=\"33%\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":14952,"template":"","news_categories":[147],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sophos migliora la Mobile Security per i Device Android con app antivirus e di cifratura gratuiteSophos Enhances Mobile Security for Android Devices with Free Anti-Virus and Encryption Apps  - soundPR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soundpr.it\/news\/sophos-migliora-la-mobile-security-per-i-device-android-con-app-antivirus-e-di-cifratura-gratuite\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sophos migliora la Mobile Security per i Device Android con app antivirus e di cifratura gratuiteSophos Enhances Mobile Security for Android Devices with Free Anti-Virus and Encryption Apps  - soundPR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sophos today announced it has extended protection for Android devices with the release of two free apps.
