Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) encompasses a set of security tools specifically crafted to detect and shield mobile devices from a range of cyber threats. These threats may include malware, phishing attempts, and other malicious activities that could compromise the security of mobile devices. MTD tools go beyond traditional antivirus solutions by analysing the specific characteristics of mobile applications. They operate in real-time, responding promptly to potential threats, and contribute to maintaining a secure mobile computing environment.

One key aspect of MTD is its capability to provide visibility into the risk levels associated with all devices connected to a network. By monitoring and assessing the behaviour of mobile applications, MTD tools offer insights into the security posture of each device. This visibility is crucial for organisations to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities, ensuring the overall safety and integrity of their mobile ecosystem.

Mobile Threat Defense is a proactive approach to mobile security, employing specialised tools to analyse application behaviour, respond to threats in real-time, and provide comprehensive visibility into the risk landscape of connected mobile devices.
