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

    I've tried this on many tablet varities and the FreeBSD POA environment does not work with many of the intel atom based tablet system touchscreens (we have many from several manufacturers) because the tablets use driver loaded firmware modules and unfortunately the manufacturers weren't willing to build any kind of BSD or Linux kernel space or user space driver for it so there's no way I could expect SafeGuard to work in that instance.  SGN still "works" mind you just you can't use POA on a lot of models is the only catch.
