Discussion

DoW mobile devices are in constant risk of cyber threats. Mobile Threat Detection (MTD) apps partially mitigate these risks by providing real-time threat detection, malware prevention, and vulnerability analysis. SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #47

Check Content

Confirm an MTD app is installed on managed iPhones and iPads.

This check procedure is performed on both the device management tool and the iPhone and iPad device.

In the iOS/iPadOS management tool, verify an MTD app is listed as a managed app being deployed to site-managed devices.

On the iPhone/iPad device:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap "General".
3. Tap "VPN & Device Management". 
4. Tap the Configuration Profile from the iOS management tool containing the restrictions policy.
5. Tap "Apps".
6. Verify an MTD app is listed.

If an MTD app is not installed on the device, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Deploy a site-approved MTD app via the MDM server to managed iPhones and iPads.
