Buy NowWhat is Mobile Device Security?
Mobile security involves strengthening your device’s defences against risks like data breaches, surveillance, ransomware, or scams. This includes using security protocols and software to protect sensitive data and maintain the device’s integrity. This description encompasses the other terms you will come across, like Mobile Thread Defence (MTD), Mobile Endpoint Detection and Response (Mobile EDR) or Mobile Endpoint Security (MES).
Why do we need a Mobile Device Security Service?
Phishing attacks have become a common security threat targeting mobile devices. Cybercriminals create new phishing sites quickly, with one launched every 20 seconds. These sites are often active for only about 4 hours, making them hard to track and shut down. This rapid turnover of phishing sites makes it challenging for users and security professionals to stay alert and combat these threats.
Protect Your Mobile Device with a Comprehensive EDR Approach
Traditional Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions have vulnerabilities, missing features like real-time phishing defence, privacy controls, threat remediation, and adaptive access policies. To address these gaps, a mobile Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) approach provides visibility into mobile threats, secures app permissions, and enables self-remediation.

Importance of Mobile Device Security
There are many areas to consider when looking at mobile device security, and we have highlighted a few below.
01
Phishing and Content Protection
Phishing plays a major role in most cyberattacks, involved in over 90% of incidents. The digital world is changing fast, with over 1.5 million new phishing websites popping up every month, many vanishing quickly. Relying only on lists of known phishing sites for protection isn’t enough. A strong mobile EDR platform offers businesses not just prevention but also real-time detection and response for these ever-changing threats. Simply checking emails for harmful content isn’t enough, as cybercriminals use methods like SMS messages and QR codes to spread phishing links. Traditional anti-phishing strategies often raise privacy concerns since mobile devices are personal. To handle these issues effectively, businesses need AI-driven mobile security solutions. These solutions constantly gather threat data on phishing, malware, and ransomware, providing proactive and broad protection.
02
Mobile Endpoint Protection
Businesses often excel at monitoring desktop and laptop applications but tend to overlook data handling on mobile devices. These devices often access sensitive information over public networks, making them targets for cyberattacks.
A complete endpoint protection plan must secure the device, its software, and network access. This should fit with a business’s zero-trust approach to meet privacy standards. Zero trust deals with the decentralized nature of modern networks, where cloud services, edge computing, and the Internet of Things go beyond traditional cyber security limits. It focuses on ongoing verification of users, devices, and services to improve data security and simplify protection, especially for personal devices used for work “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD). As part of a thorough mobile endpoint protection strategy, zero trust helps manage risks and detect threats in real-time, provides insights into app permissions and data access, and protects multifactor authentication from attacks.
03
Mobile EDR
Securing mobile devices requires a distinct approach compared to desktops, laptops, or servers. Mobile devices are always connected via cellular service, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and they serve dual purposes for personal and work use, which exposes them to unique threats. Notably, 87% of mobile phishing attempts occur outside of email. Traditional MDM programs fall short in effectively addressing these risks, as they lack the necessary visibility and rapid response capabilities for emerging threats, including zero-day vulnerabilities. A cloud-native Mobile EDR solution bridges this gap by extending endpoint protection to mobile devices, offering real-time monitoring and response for threats on iOS, Android, or ChromeOS, while preserving user privacy.
04
Mobile Risk and Compliance
To manage risks effectively and follow government directives, integrating a mobile EDR strategy within an agency’s security framework is important. Mobile EDR should add to, not replace, MDM programs. Mobile EDR deals with complex threats related to apps and authentication, while MDM handles basic functions like remote wiping of lost or stolen devices. Integrating these systems helps organizations combine threat intelligence for better risk management. For example, a mobile security platform connected with (Security Information and Event Management) SIEM systems and MDM or Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) can manage both mobile and traditional devices like laptops. A good mobile EDR solution also helps agencies comply with security and privacy rules from groups like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
05
Mobile Vulnerability and Patch Management
Desktops and servers connected to office networks let IT teams deploy patches easily, making them simple to update. However, unpatched servers can be vulnerable. Updating mobile devices with security patches is harder. MDM solutions can require a base Operating System (OS) version, but they don’t fully protect personal smartphones and tablets on Wi-Fi and cellular networks. An effective endpoint security solution helps, giving IT teams an interface for managing devices. This helps them monitor vulnerabilities and know each device’s operating system and when updates are needed.
MTD vs MDM vs MAM Solutions
Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) tools help manage mobile devices in organizations but don’t protect against cybersecurity threats. To better defend against mobile attacks, using a Mobile Threat Defence (MTD) solution is crucial. MTDs detect and block threats, and when combined with MDM or MAM, they enable real-time threat response, enhancing an organization’s cybersecurity.
| Component of Risks Mobile Security | MTD | MDM | MAM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web & Content Threats | Lookout provides phishing protection across email, SMS, browser, and apps. Lookout inspects all outbound connections made from the mobile device at the network level in real-time | MDM does not provide any phishing protection. | MAM does not provide any phishing protection. |
| App Threats | With a data corpus of more than 325 million applications, Lookout identifies “leaky” apps (meaning apps that can put enterprise data at risk) and malicious apps, through reputation scanning and code analysis. | MDM has no ability to detect malicious or vulnerable apps. | MAM has no ability to detect malicious or vulnerable apps. |
| Device Threats | To protect against jailbroken/rooted devices, outdated OS, and risky device configurations, Lookout leverages behavioural anomaly detection by tracking expected and acceptable use patterns. | MDMs cannot detect root/jailbreaks in real-time. Instead, they push software updates to handle the threat. This leaves a vulnerability window for attack. | MAM has no ability to detect device threats. |
| Network Threats | Lookout can detect risky networks and protect against man-in-the-middle, certificate impersonation, TLS/SSL stripping, or TLS/SSL cipher suite downgrades. | MDM has no ability to detect network threats. | MAM has no ability to detect network threats. |
| Threat Remediation | Upon detection of threats, Lookout provides user instruction for self-remediation where the threats are not blocked. | No threat detection or self-remediation. MDM can wipe the device to mitigate risk of threat. Requires input from MTD to identify threats. | No threat detection or remediation. MAM can restrict/remove an application if identified as infected. Requires input from MTD to receive application risk level. |
| Conditional Access | Lookout continuously monitors device health, assigns risk-level, and provides this information to the organization as a means of authentication. | With MTD input, MDM can enact policies to prevent authentication. MDM can prevent access based on outdated OS and can enforce passcode on the device. | With input from an MTD, MAM can enact policies to prevent authentication to MAM-protected apps. MAM can also prevent access based on out-of-date app versions. |
| User Privacy | Lookout only requires an email address for setup and does not require GPS location. Lookout also provides an advanced privacy mode to suppress additional user information. | Many MDM tools let employers monitor all device activity – including personal calls and web traffic – at any given time. No privacy mode is available. | As a stand-alone solution, MAM manages only those applications required by employer and limits use of user’s information. |
| Threat Notification | Upon detection of a mobile cybersecurity event, Lookout immediately notifies the administrator and designated recipients of the event. | Cannot detect mobile cybersecurity events. | Cannot detect mobile cybersecurity events. |
