Phishing protection for MTD devices

MobileIron Threat Defense Solution detects and prevents phishing attempts on MTD-enabled iOS and Android devices. When a user clicks on a risky URL, Mobile@Work blocks the site, and displays a pop-up message indicating that it contains risky content that could steal sensitive or private content from the user device.

To enable phishing protection on MTD-enabled devices, follow this work flow:

  1. Configure and enable MTD on Core. See Enabling MTD for Mobile@Work devices.
  2. (iOS only) Enable anti-phishing protection in Threat Management Console. See Advanced phishing protection for iOS devices.
  3. Create an MTD anti-phishing configuration for managed Android devices and optionally, iOS devices. See Enabling additional MTD anti-phishing protection
  4. Push the configuration to client devices.
  5. (Android only) Have the user set MobileIron client as the default browser in the app Settings, or set MobileIron client to control URL clicks. See Additional Android phishing configuration tasks
