Mobile Threat Defense Solution Guide for Core 11.4.0.0

October 2021

Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) protects managed devices from mobile threats and vulnerabilities affecting device, network, and applications. MTD includes the ability to distribute activation tokens to enable MTD technology integrated into Mobile@Work for Android and iOS clients.

Mobile Threat Defense monitors:

  • On the device level: system parameters, configuration, firmware, and libraries to identify suspicious or malicious activity.
  • On the network level: network traffic and suspicious connections to and from mobile devices.
  • On the app level: leaky apps (potentially placing enterprise data at risk) and risky apps, through risk assessment and code analysis.

When this configuration is enabled in Core and applied to the devices, the MTD libraries are enabled on the Mobile@Work clients. The Mobile Threat Defense service can be deactivated on a device by removing the label that is associated with the MTD license configuration.

Applicable to:

  • Mobile@Work for iOS client versions as supported by Core.
  • Mobile@Work for Android client versions as supported by Core.
  • AppStation client versions as supported by Core.

MTD does not currently support macOS and Windows devices.
