Sophos Mobile
Secure unified endpoint management, native to Sophos Central
For UAE teams already standardised on Sophos, Sophos Mobile delivers UEM, MDM and mobile threat defense in the same cloud console as your firewall, endpoint protection, email security, XDR and MDR, managing iOS, iPadOS, Android, Windows 10/11 and macOS from one place. It is the only UEM that natively integrates with a leading next-generation endpoint platform, with Intercept X for Mobile bringing deep-learning MTD into the same user-based licence.

What Sophos Mobile is
Sophos Mobile is a secure Unified Endpoint Management platform: one Sophos Central console to enrol, configure, secure and retire every device a business runs, phones, tablets, laptops and desktops across iOS, iPadOS, Android, Windows 10/11 and macOS. From it you push apps and content, enforce compliance and conditional access, separate corporate and personal data on BYOD via Android Enterprise Work Profile and iOS User Enrolment, and layer Intercept X for Mobile MTD into the same licence.
What makes Sophos Mobile different is integration. It is the only UEM that natively integrates with a leading next-generation endpoint security platform, Sophos Intercept X, and shares Sophos Central with Sophos Firewall, Sophos Email, XDR and MDR. For organisations standardised on Sophos, that means one credential, one alert pipeline and Synchronized Security spanning mobile, endpoint, network and email.
Sophos Central,
a UAE differentiator
For lean UAE IT teams managing security across firewall, endpoint, email and now mobile, consolidating into a single cloud console is a measurable productivity win. As a Sophos Platinum Partner, Artiflex IT deploys Sophos Mobile into the same Central console that already runs your firewall and endpoint estate.

Why it wins
What makes Sophos Mobile the natural pick for Sophos shops
The advantages that consistently land Sophos Mobile on the shortlist when there is an existing Sophos footprint, and what gives lean IT teams a measurable productivity boost.
1 console
Mobile, endpoint, firewall, email, XDR and MDR in Sophos Central
User-based
Pricing covers multiple devices per user without device-count surprises
Leader
2024 IDC MarketScape and 2022 Omdia Market Radar for mobile security
One console for the whole stack
Mobile, endpoint, firewall, email, XDR and MDR managed from a single cloud console with one credential and one alert pipeline. For lean IT teams, this replaces three or four vendor portals overnight.
Endpoints and mobile that respond together
When a Sophos endpoint, firewall or mobile agent detects a compromise, the broader Sophos platform responds together, closing lateral movement in seconds rather than waiting on manual playbooks.
Intercept X for Mobile inside the licence
Sophos's deep-learning engine applied to mobile: anti-malware, anti-phishing and web protection on Android, iOS and ChromeOS, included in the Advanced edition, not bolted on from a third party.
Work Profile and iOS User Enrolment
Sophos Mobile secures personal and corporate-owned devices side by side. Business email and apps deploy without touching the user's private side, productivity without a privacy compromise.
Affordable, predictable licensing
User-based licensing means a single licence covers a person's phone, tablet and other devices, straightforward to forecast and aligned with how teams actually work.
UAE Sophos Platinum Partner escalation
Artiflex IT is a Sophos Platinum Partner, the highest tier in Sophos's UAE channel, so escalations land directly with Sophos engineering and you have access to advance product roadmaps.

Sophos Mobile and Intercept X for Mobile are also available inside broader Sophos Central bundles alongside Intercept X endpoint protection, Sophos Firewall, Sophos Email and Sophos MDR. As a Sophos Platinum Partner, Artiflex confirms exact entitlements and pricing during scoping. A "✓" with a qualifier (e.g. Basic) indicates the capability is present at that level.
Choosing an edition
Simplified positioning, which edition fits
Each edition is built for a different starting point, pure UEM, the full UEM + MTD outcome, or a focused mobile threat-defense layer for a non-Sophos UEM.
The strategic view
The important difference between editions
The editions aren't just "more features". Each step represents a different commitment to the Sophos platform. Knowing where the inflection points sit prevents over- or under-buying.
Artiflex maps your existing Sophos footprint, device estate and compliance obligations to the right edition during the assessment, so you pay for the platform you need today with a clear path to consolidating consoles as your Sophos investment grows.

Frequently asked
Sophos Mobile questions we hear from UAE buyers
Why does Artiflex recommend Sophos Mobile for Sophos-aligned customers?
When the firewall, endpoint and email layers are already Sophos, Sophos Mobile collapses UEM and MTD into the same Sophos Central console and Synchronized Security pipeline. One credential, one alert stream and one user-based licence. For lean IT teams, that is a measurable productivity gain on top of the security outcomes.
