File Encryption

Use the SOTI MobiControl File Encryption profile configuration to secure files on your devices. This configuration employs policy-based encryption using FIPS 140-2 validated AES-256 encryption algorithms to secure mobile data.

Perform this configuration when:

• Creating a Profile
• Editing a Profile

Configure file encryption when:

• Administrators require encryption without affecting the user experience.
• Mobile applications need to encrypt and decrypt data in memory as needed.
• Administrators require granular control on Android Classic devices to encrypt external or internal storage.
