0 min
The common threat scenarios that mobile Threat Defense (MTD) detects are as follows:
- Malware and Risky Apps: If the apps are downloaded from unofficial app stores, or those requesting excessive permissions, then they are flagged as risk. MTD alerts you and guides you to uninstall such apps.
- OS Vulnerabilities: If your operating system is outdated or known vulnerable, you will receive a compliance alert directing you to update your device software.
- Jailbroken or Rooted Device: If your device is modified, reducing security, MTD blocks access to organization data until restored.
- Unsafe Wi-Fi Networks: If you connect to public or untrusted networks, MTD enables for threats such as “man-in-the-middle” attacks. MTD prompts you to disconnect or switch networks.
- Phishing & Network Attacks: If there are some advanced MTD features, they can detect attempts to steal credentials or intercept communications on untrusted networks.
- Configuration Issues: If the weak security settings, such as disabled encryption or weak passwords, are present, then the issue is flagged.
