The mobile security platform offered by MobileIron can protect the companies from cybercrimes like phishing.
FREMONT, CA: Recently, MobileIron, a mobile-centric security platform for the Everywhere Enterprise, has announced the launching of multi-vector mobile phishing protection for the iOS and Android devices. With the help of this technology, the companies can protect their sensitive data against one of the top cybersecurity threats. MobileIron Threat Defense (MTD) is now even providing cloud-based and on-device phishing URL database lookup so that the users can identify and remediate the phishing attacks in every direction of the mobile threats. It consists of instant messages, text and SMS messages, social media, and even other methods of communications that go beyond corporate email.
According to the 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report of Verizon, the maximum number of breaches is caused by credential theft and social attacks like phishing. During a phishing attack, the most common feature that gets compromised is the credentials. According to the SVP of product management at MobileIron Brian Foster, Phishing is a simple yet highly lucrative method for hackers.” The users have click on a malicious link, and the hackers can get access to every information with the help of user ID and password. Moreover, amidst the recent pandemic of COVID-19, the cybercriminals have started to target the gaps in enterprise security. They are focusing on mobile devices and applications used by the employees working remotely to get access to the corporate data.
However, the MTD is developed with the leading unified endpoint management (UEM) product of MobileIron. The technology will offer instant on-device phishing protection. The mobile devices that are registered with the MobileIron UEM clients do not have to apply end users to install MTD on the mobile devices because the IT departments can remotely manage it. Therefore, the users do not have to affect their productivity yet achieve 100% user adoption. The only solution in the market that can automatically install mobile threat protection is MobileIron.
If the companies want, they can even extend the MTDs multi-vector phishing protection to incorporate cloud-based phishing URL database lookup. It will help the organizations to control and maintain the balance among user privacy and security. The companies can even enhance the structure of their security and fulfill the regulatory standards with MTD. MobileIron was featured in Government CIO Outlook as one of the Top 20 Homeland Security Solution Providers.
