MobileIron Threat Defense includes multi-vector
threat detection and remediation to protect iOS and Android devices
from phishing attacks waged at the device, network and application
level
MobileIron (NASDAQ:MOBL), the mobile-centric security platform
for the Everywhere Enterprise, today announced multi-vector mobile
phishing protection for iOS and Android devices to help
organizations defend against one of the top cybersecurity threats.
MobileIron Threat Defense (MTD) now offers on-device and
cloud-based phishing URL database lookup to detect and remediate
phishing attacks across all mobile threat vectors, including text
and SMS messages, instant messages, social media and other modes of
communication, beyond just corporate email.

MobileIron offers complete mobile
phishing protection. Built on MobileIron’s UEM product, MobileIron
Threat Defense offers on-device and cloud-based phishing protection
for iOS and Android devices. To further reduce the risk of data
breaches that result from stolen credentials, organizations can
implement MobileIron zero sign-on for secure and passwordless
authentication to enterprise cloud services. (Graphic: Business

Verizon’s 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report found that
credential theft and social attacks such as phishing cause the
majority of breaches, with almost one-quarter (22%) of all data
breaches involving phishing specifically. Credentials were the most
common attribute compromised in phishing attacks, although many
other data types were also well represented.
“Phishing is a simple, yet highly lucrative method for hackers,”
said Brian Foster, SVP of product management at MobileIron. “All it
takes is one click on a malicious link for a hacker to compromise a
user’s ID and password, and gain access to a goldmine of data.
Unfortunately, hackers are exploiting enterprise security gaps amid
the COVID-19 pandemic and increasingly targeting mobile devices and
applications, which remote workers are using more than ever before
to access corporate data.
And these mobile phishing attacks are likely to succeed, as it
is very hard to verify the authenticity of links on a mobile
device. The mobile user interface also makes it difficult to access
and view key information, while prompting users to make fast
decisions. Companies urgently need a mobile threat defense solution
that detects and remediates phishing attacks across all threat
vectors, beyond just corporate email, while empowering employees
everywhere to be productive.”
Built on MobileIron’s leading unified endpoint management (UEM)
product, MTD offers immediate, on-device phishing protection. There
is no end user action required to deploy MTD on mobile devices that
are enrolled in MobileIron’s UEM client; this is remotely managed
by IT departments. As a result, organizations can achieve 100% user
adoption, without impacting productivity. MobileIron is the only
solution on the market that can automatically deploy mobile threat
protection without users needing to take any action. This is
critical because if security gets in the way of productivity, users
will find a way around it.
“Organizations urgently need to bolster their anti-phishing
technical controls, without impacting end user productivity,” said
Phil Hochmuth, Program Vice President, Enterprise Mobility, IDC.
“Phishing attacks are at an all-time high, with hackers
capitalizing on people’s fears and using coronavirus-themed
messages to deceive victims. In addition to conducting mandatory
security awareness training, companies should enroll employee
devices in a UEM platform and implement mobile threat defense
capabilities to effectively defend against mobile phishing attacks.
And organizations should take UX very seriously when evaluating
mobile security solutions, as a seamless user experience is
critical to success.”
MobileIron’s recent Trouble at the Top study revealed that
C-suite executives often feel frustrated by security protocols and
request to bypass them, despite being highly targeted by
cyberattacks, including phishing attacks. The study also found that
60% of IT decision makers believe that phishing is the most
significant mobile security threat faced by their organization.
With MTD, organizations can ensure seamless and continuous
on-device phishing protection for employees everywhere - even on
devices without internet connectivity.
Organizations can choose whether to expand MTD’s multi-vector
phishing protection to include cloud-based phishing URL database
lookup. This enables organizations to control the balance between
security and user privacy. MTD also enables organizations to
improve their overall security posture and comply with regulatory
requirements.
To further secure their digital workplaces and reduce the risk
of breaches, organizations can implement MobileIron zero sign-on
for secure and passwordless authentication to enterprise cloud
services. By leveraging mobile device authentication with
biometric-based access, organizations can eliminate passwords,
which are the primary point of compromise in phishing attacks.
MobileIron’s multi-vector phishing protection is now available
on iOS devices. These capabilities will extend to Android devices
soon. To learn more, click here to check out the MobileIron Threat
