Intercept X scans on mobile with Work Profile

Thank you for reaching the community forum. 

Yes, it's covered. You only need one security app and a license to be installed on the device. Provided that Mobile Threat Dedefense policy is enabled and configured. To have visibility on what our Intercept X for mobile covered for scanning, refer to this documentation in section (14.17.2 ) Antivirus configuration (Mobile Threat Defense policy for Android)

Although I have future plans to get a license to centrally manage the security of the family's phones, I currently use your Intercept X as a standalone installation. I looked at the documentation you mentioned, and the settings shown for MTD policy are the same ones configurable on a standalone install (except for a few, which is probably only available if it's the managed one).

So to confirm if I understand your response correctly, as long as the settings listed below are enabled, everything including the apps and/or files in the Work Profile container/partition will be scanned, yes?

• Scan system apps
• Scan storage
• Detect PUAs
• Monitor storage

No confirmation from anyone? GlennSen perhaps?

Hello hot head ,

Yes, that's correct. The MTD policy mentioned above requires a license, but you may also manually configure the corresponding settings in the unmanaged (Free) version of Sophos Intercept X for Mobile.

I'll also link additional references for you to look at:

Sophos Intercept X for Mobile help (Android)

Thank you.
