SOTI MobiControl 2025.1 Update: Upgrade Your Device Security & Efficiency
SOTI has officially released the newest version of SOTI MobiControl 2025.1! Nessar is excited to walk you through each update — highlighting how these features can significantly enhance the security and efficiency of enterprise mobility operations.
As an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution, SOTI MobiControl enables organizations to track, manage and secure their mobile device fleet, from unboxing to retirement. In other words, your business can unlock total visibility and control over any device, regardless of its type, form factor or operating system.
Enhance Your Windows Devices with SOTI MobiControl
With SOTI MobiControl 2025.1, your Windows device fleet gains access to three new features that focus on enhancing efficiency, ease of use and visibility.
Unlock the Platform Updates Dashboard for Windows Devices
Looking for a new way to manage and monitor your Windows device and app updates? The new Platform Updates Dashboard in SOTI MobiControl is the perfect solution.
With a single, convenient interface, IT Admins will no longer struggle to manage and monitor patches and updates across all devices. This centralized dashboard enables comprehensive patch management, using real-time monitoring for patch statuses and deployment progress. It also allows IT Admins to easily monitor and approve patches in bulk, as well as deploy patches directly from the dashboard.
Furthermore, having visibility into and control over the firmware, updates and patches on all devices, you can ensure they remain protected against security threats and vulnerabilities.
Make Windows OS Imaging Effortless
Does creating and deploying OS images across Windows devices take too long? SOTI MobiControl now uses large-scale imaging capabilities, which makes the entire process more efficient, saving valuable time and effort.
Gain Visibility into Your Windows Hardware and Peripherals
You can now easily view and monitor any hardware components and connected peripherals – such as keyboards or cables – on Windows devices.
Without visibility into your hardware assets or peripherals, you may experience process inefficiencies, higher replacement costs and challenges tracking and optimizing their usage.
Prioritize the Security of Your Apple Devices
A variety of new features for Apple devices are also available with SOTI MobiControl 2025.1, providing effective ways to secure your devices, streamline device management and keep your organization productive.
Introducing SOTI VPN to iOS and iPadOS
SOTI VPN* – a secure way for your mobile device fleet to access corporate data in the field – is now available for Apple iOS and iPadOS, Android and Windows! With SOTI VPN, you can strengthen your security posture, while keeping your remote workers working.

Launching New Apple Firmware Policies
When an organization has many Apple devices, fulfilling operating system updates for each one is tedious and time-consuming. Consequently, firmware update delays put IT Admins at risk of not meeting compliance regulations or their organization’s security initiatives.
SOTI MobiControl 2025.1 has simplified the administration and enforcement of firmware policies. Now, you can easily schedule updates on Apple iOS, iPadOS and macOS powered devices. This improves device management by enhancing overall security and compliance monitoring.
Microsoft Authenticator Single Sign-On Profile Payload for iOS and iPadOS
Looking to increase the security of iOS and iPadOS devices and productivity of users?
Signing into essential apps multiple times throughout the workday is inefficient and error prone. The risk of security breaches also rises when a device is exposed to multiple user and password inputs.
To combat these inefficiencies, register your iOS and iPadOS devices with Microsoft Entra ID and perform single sign-on with Microsoft Authentication enabled apps. Your SSO profile will seamlessly integrate with Microsoft Authenticator for automatic device registration and user authentication – keeping your devices secure and employees productive.
More Exciting Features on SOTI MobiControl 2025.1
Approve Device Enrollments with Confidence
Organizations that use SOTI MobiControl to manage and monitor their device fleet are set up for success once devices are enrolled.
However, can you be sure that all devices that enroll are authorized to?
Yes, with SOTI MobiControl you can! IT Admins can easily review and approve device enrollments. This way, only authorized devices gain access to SOTI MobiControl, maintaining organizational control and regulatory compliance.
Similarly, all necessary configurations are applied to a device only once it has been approved.
Boost Efficiency with Shared Views and Searches
With the Devices Dashboard on SOTI MobiControl, IT Admins can now share custom column views and saved searches with other users, roles and groups.
Simply put, console users no longer need to manually recreate column views and saved searches. This feature saves time, streamlines collaboration, provides consistent access to relevant data and enhances efficiency in device management workflows.
Discover the SOTI XTreme Hub* Enhancements
Experience scalable and secure deployments with XTreme Hub like never before! Browse the following enhancements:
- Assign multiple XTreme Hubs to a device group to ensure flexible and robust data deployments.
- Unlock Android app support through SOTI MobiControl App Policies.
- Utilize secure IP-based certificate binding for enhanced device protection.
- Set up an automatic back-up to the Deployment Server to ensure seamless data deployment, in the event your chosen XTreme Hub is not accessible.
What is SOTI XTreme Hub?
When a device is chosen to be an XTreme Hub, it distributes data to other devices, instead of a server sending it to hundreds of devices. This process reduces the server load and streamlines the method of data distribution.
*SOTI XTreme Hub is only available to Premium Plus and Enterprise Plus customers.
Control App Access to Cellular and Wi-Fi Networks
Some Wi-Fi or cellular networks are not secure, meaning connecting to them poses a security risk for your devices.
With SOTI MobiControl 2025.1, you can block apps from specific Wi-Fi or cellular networks to safeguard sensitive information. You can also regulate data consumption on your Android devices to identify data overages and reduce costs moving forward.
SOTI MobiControl has always empowered organizations to securely manage any device throughout their lifecycle, and these new features showcase our ongoing commitment to this mission.
