Setting up the UEM platform

You can create mitigation and compliance actions using Local Actions threat defense policy. This method does not require a connection to the server. The actions are applied locally on the device.

Ivanti EPMM receives the threat definitions list from the App Gateway. The threat list is updated periodically, when new threats are identified or existing threats are removed. Before you begin, verify that Ivanti EPMM is able to communicate with the App Gateway to obtain the latest threat list. The threat definitions file changes infrequently and an MTD audit log is created whenever a new version of the file becomes available.

If you want to configure server-initiated compliance, see Setting up the MTD threat management console.

Locally-initiated mitigation and compliance includes the following tasks and options:

• Creating MTD local actions in Ivanti EPMM
• Setting the sinkhole action on iOS devices
• Checking Mobile Threat Defense status
