• MobiControl adds Android policy automation, Defender integration and Apple migration
The fact
SOTI has released version 2026.1 of its SOTI ONE platform, updating Lockdown, MobiControl, XSight, Snap and Connect for shared mobile device fleets. Lockdown now lets users end a previous session from the unlock screen without restarting the device, while adding PIN, NFC and combined authentication. MobiControl adds Android policy automation, Windows issue detection, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integration and Apple device migration without user disruption.
The Assessment
The release targets a specific operational problem: shared frontline devices often fail through repeated small issues rather than single major outages. SOTI is shifting that burden from manual IT intervention to automated detection, self-healing and stronger access control. For BTW readers, the signal is that enterprise mobility management is moving toward zero-touch operations, reducing the IT overhead that scales with device fleet size rather than user count.
What to Watch
Whether competitors such as Intune or Workspace ONE match the zero-restart handover, as frontline device management shifts toward automated self-healing.
