Mobile security is no longer optional. As part of their daily work-from-home routine, employees are increasingly accessing company data via smartphones, expanding organizations’ mobile attack surface and making them more vulnerable to data breaches than ever before. Managing and protecting users, devices, applications, and data is a complex task that requires detecting, alerting, and mitigating security risks on mobile workforce devices. Read this blog post to learn how SandBlast Mobile, MTD’s market-leading solution, works with Google Cloud’s leading endpoint management solution to address these challenges, leveraging SandBlast Mobile’s rapid detection, prevention, and alerting capabilities, as well as Google Cloud’s policy management and remediation capabilities.
Protecting mobile devices and their associated apps and data requires best-in-class detection capabilities and fast, accurate alerts, like those provided by SandBlast Mobile. It also requires control over the organization’s mobile devices, apps, and data, as well as control over user permissions on other systems in the organization, to prevent compromised devices from opening the organization’s doors to hackers. The way to manage a mobile device, its configuration, apps, and data is to use its MDM interface, like Google Cloud does.
Mobile security is at the forefront of every company’s mind these days, and for good reason. In this new environment, your remote workforce is increasingly accessing company data via mobile devices, meaning you’re more vulnerable than ever to a data breach. SandBlast Mobile is the market-leading mobile threat protection solution that keeps your company’s data safe by protecting all areas of your employees’ mobile devices – apps, networks, and operating systems. Google Cloud manages corporate users, apps, and permissions across all enterprise-managed mobile devices. The combination of SandBlast Mobile and Google Cloud provides a powerful security solution with end-to-end capabilities.
You should be concerned about mobile cyberattacks as it is one of the major trends of 2020, with 18% of cyberattacks in the first half of the year targeting mobile devices. Choosing the best mobile security solution to protect your mobile devices is more important than ever. While it is important to ensure that all doors to your organization are closed, Check Point recommends using SandBlast Mobile with Google Cloud MDM to provide automated threat remediation by leveraging Google Cloud access to the management interface and configuring mobile devices to fix security issues detected by SandBlast Mobile. This prevents infected devices from accessing sensitive company information and corporate networks.
The combination of Google Cloud and SandBlast Mobile provides high efficiency within a broader security framework for managing mobile security and enables it to be deployed and managed efficiently within the existing Google Cloud console. When a threat is detected, SandBlast Mobile automatically sends alerts to Google Cloud while mitigating any risks until the threat is remediated. Integrated with the Google Cloud platform, the solution blocks user access to Google Cloud-hosted applications based on predefined Google Cloud policies, while SandBlast Mobile uses the SandBlast Mobile Protect app to enforce risk-based policies against infected devices in real time. SandBlast Mobile also activates an on-demand VPN to divert data traffic away from cybercriminals. This way, we can prevent data leaks while maintaining user connectivity. Once the risk is remediated, SandBlast Mobile notifies Google Cloud of the updated status, and Google Cloud lifts restrictions on hosted applications and user permissions accordingly.
This combined solution automatically protects new devices as soon as they register with Google Cloud. Google Cloud synchronizes user, device, and organizational group information with SandBlast Mobile.
Once devices are deleted or retired from Google Cloud, they are also automatically deleted from SandBlast Mobile.
Overall, combining SandBlast Mobile’s best-in-class prevention features with Google Cloud’s powerful response and remediation gives you a host of security and mitigation benefits
