Mobile Security & Mobile Threat Defense

Phones now hold the same email, files, and access as laptops – but rarely the same protection. Mobile phishing, malicious apps, spyware, and hostile Wi-Fi networks target employees where they are least defended. Persist Security delivers managed mobile security and Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) for iOS and Android, so your smartphones are watched and protected with the same rigor as the rest of your environment.

Why Mobiles Are Now a Top Target

The mobile device is the new endpoint – and attackers know it. Smishing and mobile phishing bypass email filters, malicious or over-permissioned apps leak data, and public networks enable interception. Because employees mix work and personal use on the same device, a single compromised phone can hand an attacker credentials, MFA codes, and a foothold into your organization. Mobile threat defense closes that blind spot.

Mobile Phishing Protection

Detect and block smishing and mobile phishing links that slip past email security and target users on the move.

Malicious App Defense

Identify malicious, risky, and over-permissioned apps that leak data or open the door to attackers.

Network Attack Protection

Protect devices from man-in-the-middle attacks and hostile Wi-Fi that intercept traffic and credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mobile Threat Defense (MTD)?

Mobile Threat Defense is security technology that protects smartphones and tablets from threats such as mobile phishing, malicious apps, spyware, and network attacks. Unlike basic mobile device management, MTD actively detects and blocks threats on the device in real time. Persist Security delivers MTD as a managed service under 24/7 SOC oversight.

Do iPhones and Android phones really need extra security?

Yes. Both iOS and Android are targeted by mobile phishing, malicious apps, and network attacks, and built-in protections do not catch everything – especially advanced spyware and social-engineering attacks. For organizations, an unprotected phone with access to email and systems is a real entry point for attackers.

Does mobile security invade employee privacy?

No. Managed mobile security is designed to protect the device against threats without monitoring personal content or activity. It focuses on malicious links, risky apps, and network attacks – not on reading messages or tracking personal use – which is essential for BYOD adoption.

What is Atlas?
