Enabling MTD Anti-Phishing protection in MDM

You have the option to enable Ivanti Neurons for Mobile Threat Defense Anti-Phishing protections for managed Android and iOS devices using Secure DNS to analyze malicious URLs.

The Android device user will have to opt-in for VPN permissions in the host app. If the Ivanti Tunnel App is present, the Ivanti Tunnel App, being a VPN app, would have already asked the device user to run as VPN client.

Before you begin 

• Make sure you have completed configuring Activating Ivanti Neurons for Mobile Threat Defense for MDM.

• Make sure you have configured Phishing and Content Protection (PCP).

Procedure 

1. Log in to Ivanti Neurons for MDM Administrator console.

2. Go to Configurations.

3. Select +Add.

4. Select Anti-phishing Protection. The Create Anti-Phishing Protection Configuration menu opens.

9. In the Android section, select to enable Secure DNS setting.

   Please be aware that if the Ivanti Tunnel App is installed, Anti-Phishing for Android will be provided by Ivanti Tunnel. If the Ivanti Tunnel App is not installed, Anti-Phishing will be provided through the Ivanti Go client app.

11. Accept the Default setting in the Enable this configuration field.

12. Select one of the following distribution options:

    • All Devices

    Devices with Anti-Phishing enabled report Anti Phishing status to MDM. The administrator can use this status to create custom policies, if needed.
