Benefits of adopting Mobile Threat Defence (MTD)

Trustd is a privacy-focused mobile threat defence solution that gives you immediate visibility and analysis of mobile threats on employee devices. Designed for both Corporate Owned Devices and BYOD.

AI-powered mobile EDR

Every personal and business-owned mobile device is a gateway to business data and a route to your network. The Trustd Deep Learning engine detects both known and unknown malicious apps and provides you with crucial information for your analysis, investigation and response.

Unparalleled protection

Trustd protects employee devices from application, network and device-based threats including malware, phishing, rogue WiFi, unauthorised screen, camera and microphone access, permissions abuse and device exploits.

Cyber Essentials Compliance

Built in the UK for British businesses, Trustd gives you an easy tool to ensure Cyber Essentials compliance on your mobile devices that access work data or company systems.

For BYOD, COx or a hybrid

Trustd Mobile Threat Defence makes securing BYOD smooth and effective by eliminating barriers to adoption. Or layer on top of your existing MDM for zero-touch deployment/one-touch enrolment – and see the health status of all your mobile devices.

Zero-Trust and policy compliance

The Trustd app protects your mobile devices and the MTD dashboard gives your IT and security teams the tools they need to protect your business, while ensuring every device is compliant with security policies. It can even prevent access to your Microsoft Cloud Apps from untrusted devices.

MTD or MDM
Which do you need?

You may already have a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution in place and are wondering how Mobile Threat Defence (MTD) fits in. Or perhaps you’re part of the 61% of organisations that have no mobile security in place and are researching your options?

How are they different?

Quite simply, MDM is just for managing your organisation’s devices – it can deploy policies wholesale, restrict access to particular apps or services, or act as a VPN. However, it doesn’t have any threat detection, analysis or remediation capabilities. So it can’t block phishing, stop malware, guide users to remove threats, identify permissions abuse on Android, or scan WiFi networks for attacks.

MDM has been around much longer than MTD, and many organisations have recognised the need for basic mobile security and adopted some form of MDM. However, they’ve run into some significant challenges, and that’s led to MTD solutions being developed – to specifically address those challenges and shore up the threat protection aspect of mobile security.

I've already got MDM, do I also need MTD?

If you’ve got Mobile Device Management (MDM) already, you’re already a step ahead of most businesses.

However, MDM only deals with the management side of mobile devices, and can help to put a secure fence around sensitive data. It doesn’t offer any means to stop those threats from entering the perimeter in the first place. Only Mobile Threat Defence (MTD) can currently do that.

Some MDM providers offer some MTD features in their solution, and if you have a unified endpoint solution that covers your desktop security, sometimes the vendor will offer mobile security as an optional paid extra to your license.

The problems with these two options are 1) performance and 2) cost.

MTD providers (like Trustd!) are specialists in mobile threats, and our protection is designed around identifying and stopping those threats – not repackaging desktop threat protection as a mobile solution, which is what many cybersecurity vendors do. Why would you settle for security that only catches some of the attacks?

Here’s an analogy: If MDM is like hiding your valuables from burglars, MTD is like locking the doors and windows beforehand.

No MDM? No problem.

Trustd protects devices and restricts access to company data for untrusted devices whether they are managed by an MDM/MAM or not.

Whether your organisation already has some level of mobile security or management or not, we priced our MTD, Trustd, to ensure that cost wasn’t a barrier. But if you don’t have an existing MDM or MAM in place, that doesn’t matter either, as Trustd can also be deployed as a standalone MTD across your whole organisation, in just a few minutes.

What are some of the top cybersecurity threats for 2023?

Here are some of the top cybersecurity threats organisations are facing in 2023.

Social Engineering
Any network is hackable if an employee can be duped into sharing access.

Third-Party Exposure
Vendors, clients, and app integrations with poor security can provide access to an otherwise well-protected network.

Configuration Mistakes
Your cybersecurity investments are only as strong as they are configured correctly.

Human Activated Risk
User education and visibility for IT is essential to ensure those with network access and those handling sensitive data are maintaining cyber best practices.

Ransomware
Hackers are targeting back-ups and using extortion more and more to push receiving the ransom payment from their victims.

Mobile Devices
Every mobile device is a gateway to your network and sensitive business data.

Lack of resource and expertise
Human-led cyber attacks require human-led threat hunting. Unfortunately, skilled threat hunters are few and far between.

Internet of Things (IoT)
Smart technology users may not realise that any IoT device can be hacked to obtain network access. Securing your network starts with understanding what's on it.

Is there any obligation when opting for a free cybersecurity service by Spear Shield?

No there isn't! The team will just use that as an opportunity for us to work together on a project and prove the value we can provide you as a future strategic partner.
