SureMDM integrates with Pradeo to offer robust Mobile Threat Defense

From mobility challenges to sophisticated cyber attacks, the ever-evolving business environment continuously faces device and data security threats. “Businesses must integrate MTD with incumbent unified endpoint management (UEM) tools”, says Gartner. And we can’t emphasize enough on the importance of having a Unified Endpoint Management Solution that also tackles cyberthreats with its Mobile Threat Defense capabilities. 

We discussed how SureMDM now integrates with Pradeo in our previous blog. In this blog, we will talk about the capabilities of this integration. 

But first, what is a Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) Solution?

Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) refers to a comprehensive security solution designed to protect mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and rugged devices, from a wide range of cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. MTD encompasses a variety of security measures from threat identification to remediation to safeguard mobile endpoints against latest security challenges. 

Why do you need MTD?

As business operations are dominated by the presence of mobile devices, it also attracts many unwanted device security threats. At any given time, an enterprise-owned mobile device without proper security posture can be exploited and targeted by cyber attacks. Below are some of the reasons why you need an MTD solution today:

• 560,000 new pieces of malware are detected daily and over 1 billion malware programs exist currently.
• In 2022, 5.5 billion malware attacks were detected around the world with the majority of these attacks occurring in the Asia-Pacific region. 
• It is predicted that Cybercrime will cost $8 trillion in 2023
• Phishing is the leading infection vector, identified in 41% of incidents. 

What are the capabilities of the SureMDM MTD solution?

•  Application Scanning for Enhanced Security: Perform proactive scanning of mobile applications to identify and eliminate potentially harmful apps, adware, fake apps, and potentially unwanted apps (PUA). Users can scan both the installed apps and system apps for the vulnerabilities.

• MTD App Scan Report: Our MTD app scan report provides administrators with valuable information on the threat status of devices, including the threat names and current threat status. This report equips admins to effectively address and resolve threats. 

• Automated Compliance Enforcement: Define compliance rules aligned with your Mobile Threat Defense Policy and specify desired actions for infected devices. By automating the compliance policy enforcement, admins can ensure that devices are consistently adhere to the organization's standards. 

• Guarding Against Phishing Threats (coming soon):The aim of phishing attacks is to steal the sensitive corporate data and disrupt the operations. With our MTD solution, businesses gain the ability to inspect links for malicious phishing URLs, preventing access to them. This ensures a fortified defense against sensitive data.

Proactive threat detection and incident remediation on mobile devices is critical for any organization to improve its security posture.
