Mobile Threat Defense features

Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) protects managed devices from mobile threats and vulnerabilities affecting device, network, and applications. For information on MTD-related features, as applicable for the current release, see the Mobile Threat Defense Solution Guide for your platform, available under the MOBILE THREAT DEFENSE section on the Ivanti Product Documentation page.

  • Added new dynamic threat detections in MTD Zimperium for local network threat actions: Starting with this release in Ivanti Neurons for MDM, new dynamic threat detection definitions have been added for iOS and Android devices.

Each version of the MTD guide contains all Mobile Threat Defense features that are currently fully tested and available for use on both server and client environments. Because of the gap between server and client releases, new versions of the MTD guide are made available with the final release in the series when the features are fully functional.
