Sophos Enterprise and Tablets

FB

Can bypassing POA or PBA allow tablets to load Windows 7 and activate the soft keyboard for login. Would one still be protected? My guess just by testing and reading a little is yes. I would like to hear from others on this option as tablets are becoming much more common in our work environment.

Thanks

    Hi FB,

    tablet devices in general work with SGN (and also with POA enabled) but as we currently have no pen / stylus support, logging on with a Keyboard or a Mouse + POA's virtual Keyboard is required on some devices.

    The best option would of course be a fingerprint reader on the tablet so you can authenticate at POA using your fingertip.

    Alternatively, you could also have the POA run in autologon mode and perform the logon on Windows level.

    Cheers,

    Chris
