WithSecure Mobile Protection

WithSecure Elements Mobile Protection is a comprehensive and proactive security application designed specifically for Android devices. It offers full-coverage protection against various threats such as phishing attempts, harmful websites, malware, and vulnerabilities. This application is ideal for businesses and requires a valid endpoint protection license to use.

One of the key features of WithSecure Elements Mobile Protection is Browsing Protection, which prevents users from visiting malicious websites. This helps to protect sensitive information and prevent potential cyber attacks. Additionally, the Ultralight Anti-Malware feature blocks common viruses and modern malware, while also detecting ransomware. This ensures that your device is protected from various types of malicious software.

Another important feature is Anti-Tracking, which prevents online tracking from advertisers and cyber criminals. This helps to protect your privacy and keep your online activities secure. The application also offers SMS Protection, which blocks malicious text messages and phishing attempts via SMS. This is especially useful for businesses that deal with sensitive information through text messages.

WithSecure Elements Mobile Protection also offers third-party mobile device management (MDM) support for various platforms such as VMware Workspace ONE, IBM Security MaaS360, Google Workspace Endpoint Management, Microsoft Intune, Miradore, Ivanti Endpoint Management, and Samsung Knox. This allows businesses to easily manage and secure their devices using their preferred MDM platform.

It is important to note that SMS Protection analyzes messages locally on the device, ensuring that your messages never leave your device or are transmitted to external servers. This helps to maintain the security and privacy of your messages. Additionally, in order to use Browsing Protection and Anti-Tracking, a local VPN profile will be created. However, unlike traditional VPNs, your traffic will not be routed through third-party servers. The local VPN profile is only used to evaluate the reputation of URLs before they are loaded, providing an extra layer of security for your browsing activities.
