Get a complete view of how apps in your environment are behaving—and complete control when they aren’t.

Mobile Defense protects devices against malicious code (such as xCodeGhost and iBackDoor) embedded in apps. Organizations need protection from cybercriminals who can take advantage of mobile users by targeting popular apps. For example, Proofpoint researchers recently discovered an infected (backdoored) Android app version of the mobile game Pokémon GO. Easy-to-read summaries show you the risk and reputation of installed apps; you decide how to respond through a connected MDM.

With Mobile Defense, you can detect malicious apps that have withstood app store vetting and have been published in public app stores. You can even detect apps that have passed app store reviews but have added malicious capabilities through updates and background downloads. We also help detect hidden privacy issues. These include apps that don’t provide privacy policies and those that use third-party code libraries that quietly send data to other countries.

Mobile Defense even protects against riskware—apps that aren’t overtly malicious but still pose compliance, data-loss, and privacy risks. These apps have usually passed app store views and often run rampant in bring-your-own-device (BYOD) settings.
