Sophos Network Agent allows a local network user to authenticate himself/herself to the Sophos XG Firewall (SFOS) with an iOS device. Once the connection is established and the user is recognised, the device can be used for browsing through the Internet, according to the current user policy set up by the administrator.
Features:
- Communication is done via an encrypted, secured connection (TLS)
- Additional validation of the connected server
- Easy to use, with minimum initial setup
- Can be used without pushing a single button (bringing the app into foreground automatically authenticates the user)
NOTE: The app requires network connectivity (WiFi) in order to work. Losing connectivity results into disconnecting the user. Connection must then be re-established in order that the user is authenticated.
The app does not work with Sophos UTM.
