Encrypting Storage on Local devices

Hi Everyone.

I have managed to deploy sophos SMC on an IPAD and Windows phone and will also be deploying to an Android phone today.

I can see that the password policies and restrictions work ok, however I would like to ensure the storage on the phones are encypted incase they are lost or stolen.

Can someone advise how this is is possible with SMC.

Thanks

  • Hi karl12347,

    iOS provides a hardware encryption by default. Please have a look at this PDF for further information:
    http://images.apple.com/ipad/business/docs/iOS_Security_Oct12.pdf

    Therefore, there is no additional possibility to trigger the encryption of an iOS device.

    For Android devices, you can activate the hardware encryption by sedning out a command bundle with the setting "androidSetStorageEncryption" and in addition for the user to do it by definining the compliance criteria to require hardware encryption.


    Best regards
