About MobileIron Threat Defense Solution

Applicable to:

  • MobileIron Go for Android client versions as supported by MobileIron Cloud.
  • MobileIron Go for iOS client versions as supported by MobileIron Cloud.
  • MobileIron AppStation client versions as supported by MobileIron Cloud.

MobileIron Cloud includes the ability to distribute activation tokens to enable MobileIron Threat Defense Solution (MTD) technology integrated into MobileIron Go for Android and iOS clients. MTD protects managed devices from mobile threats and vulnerabilities affecting device, network, and applications.

MobileIron Threat Defense Solution monitors:

  • On the device level: system parameters, configuration, firmware, and libraries to identify suspicious or malicious activity.
  • On the network level: network traffic and suspicious connections to and from mobile devices.
  • On the app level: leaky apps (potentially placing enterprise data at risk) and risky apps, through risk assessment and code analysis.

When this configuration is enabled in MobileIron Cloud and applied to the devices, the MobileIron Threat Defense Solution libraries are enabled on the MobileIron Go clients. The MobileIron Threat Defense Solution can be deactivated on a device by excluding (un-distributing) the MTD configuration from the device.
