Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense

Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) is an enterprise mobile endpoint security solution designed to protect corporate and BYOD mobile devices running iOS, Android, and ChromeOS from advanced device, network, application, and phishing cyber threats. Integrated natively into Ivanti Neurons for MDM (formerly MobileIron), it delivers comprehensive on-device protection without requiring user intervention.

Powered by machine learning algorithms that run locally on the mobile device, Ivanti MTD continuously analyzes device health, application behavior, and network traffic even when offline. Key technical capabilities include zero-phishing protection that blocks malicious links across SMS, email, messaging apps, and social media, detection of rogue Wi-Fi networks and Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks, malicious mobile app detection, and OS integrity verification (detecting jailbreaking, rooting, and OS vulnerabilities). When a threat is detected, the device can automatically quarantine corporate data or revoke access until remediated.

Enterprises across healthcare, retail, and financial services deploy Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense to safeguard mobile workers and protect sensitive corporate data accessible from smartphones and tablets. It integrates smoothly with Microsoft Intune, VMware Workspace ONE, and corporate identity providers. Common operational use cases include protecting employees from SMS phishing (smishing) campaigns, securing mobile banking and healthcare applications, preventing data leakage over untrusted public Wi-Fi networks, and enforcing zero-trust access policies on mobile endpoints.
