You must add Ivanti EPMM as your Mobile Device Management (MDM) server in the MTD threat management console to enable Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense. After entering Ivanti EPMM details such the URL and administrator user name and password, the MTD console synchronizes with Ivanti EPMM. You can select the Ivanti EPMM labels you want to use in MTD console, and the relevant users, devices, and apps from Ivanti EPMM display in MTD console.
