The threat landscape has changed dramatically over the past
decade. While cybercriminals continue to look for new ways to gain
access to networks and steal sensitive information, the mobile
attack surface is also expanding.
Mobile devices are not only becoming more powerful but also more
vulnerable to cyberattacks, making mobile security an increasingly
important concern for enterprises.
This means that anyone accessing the Internet via their cell
phone or logging into their home or work network at any time is
putting both their own personal data and that of their company at
risk.
No matter how big or small your business is, you should always
take steps to ensure the security of your employees and customers.
Recent global attacks have shown us just how vulnerable businesses
are to cyberattacks.
There are several ways hackers can attack mobile devices. To
protect their data, businesses should take a comprehensive approach
that addresses both internal and external threats.
Jamf Threat Defense[1]
protects against mobile endpoint (iOS, iPadOS, Android) threat
vectors through a highly effective mobile application, the Jamf
Trust app, and prevents in-network threats in real-time through
Jamf’s Secure Access Layer.
Jamf Threat Defense accommodates all device types and ownership
models while safeguarding user privacy. Comprehensive, multi-level
security solution.
Jamf Threat Defense monitors mobile devices for configuration
vulnerabilities and app risks. It also monitors network connections
for content threats and network compromises. It assigns risk
assessments and provides a range of policy enforcement actions for
a response.
Jamf Threat Defense is a great fit for any organization that
needs to monitor and secure how its users access corporate data
from mobile devices.
Why might a customer want this?
If an organization’s end users connect to corporate apps with
mobile devices, the devices can become attack vectors via phishing,
man-in-the-middle attacks, malware, and much more.
Some devices may be corporately owned and managed, but many of
these devices may be unmanaged or BYOD, which means organizations
have less control and visibility.
What problems does it solve?
Phishing: blocks phishing pages if users click on a scam link
Protection of Corporate Apps: based on a device’s security state
and network behavior Malware & Malicious Apps: stops malware from
taking data from devices Man-In-The-Middle[2]: prevents interception
of connections on un-secured Wi-Fi Zero-Day Threats: machine
intelligence engine (MI:RIAM) detects unknown threats before they
reach devices Mixed Device Ownership: provides protection for managed and BYOD
devices[3].
