AI & SaaS Management: Sophos Connector

JumpCloud® AI & SaaS Management gives you visibility and control over shadow IT, including AI and SaaS app usage, within your org. Connectors detect shadow IT without adoption of a browser extension and provide a significant increase to valuable usage and security insights.

The Sophos Connector retrieves user information from the Sophos API. Using periodic polling for regular updates, it captures new users to keep data accurate and up-to-date.
