About Mobile Threat Defense Solution

Mobile Threat Defense Solution protects managed devices from mobile threats and vulnerabilities affecting device, network, and applications.

Core can distribute activation tokens to enable Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) technology integrated into Mobile@Work for Android and iOS clients. When this configuration is enabled in Core and applied to the devices, the MTD libraries are enabled on the clients. MTD can be deactivated on a device by excluding (un-distributing) the MTD configuration from the device.

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.

MTD operates principally through the Mobile@Work client on iOS and Android devices. The client must be installed, enrolled and operating on a monitored device for MTD to protect that device from threats and malicious traffic. If the client is removed, becomes inoperable, suspended, or dozed, MTD will not be fully functional until the client is operational again. For more information, see Mobile Threat Defense Overview.

Each version of the Mobile Threat Defense Solution guide contains all MTD 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, Ivanti, Inc releases new versions of the Mobile Threat Defense guide as the features become fully available.

Applicable to:

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

MTD does not support macOS and Windows devices.
