Web Threat Protection Policy Parent topic

Enables you to manage Web threat protection policy from the Mobile Security server and deploys it on Android mobile devices. It also enables Android mobile devices to send the Web threat protection log back to the server.
This feature provides you the server-side control of Web threat protection policies and provides three pre-defined security levels: Low, Normal, and High. It also provides blocked and approved lists to block or allow certain URLs. Mobile Security will block all the URLs that you add in the Blocked List, and allow all URLs that are in the Approved List.
