Anti-Malware Scanning

Mobile Security incorporates Trend Micro’s anti-malware technology to effectively detect threats to prevent attackers from taking advantage of vulnerabilities on mobile devices. Mobile Security is specially designed to scan for mobile threats.

Web Security

As technology increases for mobile devices, the sophistication of mobile threats is also increasing. Trend Micro Mobile Security provides Web Reputation and Parental Controls to protect your mobile device from unsafe Web sites and the Web sites that may contain objectionable material for children, teenagers and other family members. You can modify your Web Reputation and Parental Controls setting levels as per your desired settings. Mobile Security also maintains the log of the Web sites that were blocked by Web Reputation or Parental Controls in their specific logs.

SMS Anti-Spam

Mobile devices often receive unwanted messages or spam through SMS messaging. To filter unwanted SMS messages into a spam folder, you can specify the phone numbers from which all SMS messages will be considered spam or you can specify a list of approved phone numbers and configure Mobile Security to filter all messages from senders that are not in the approved list. You can also filter unidentified SMS messages or messages without sender numbers. Your mobile device will automatically store these messages to the spam folder in your inbox.

Call Filtering

Mobile Security enables you to filter incoming or outgoing calls from the server. You can configure Mobile Security to block incoming calls from certain phone numbers or you can specify a list of approved phone numbers to which the calls may be made from the mobile device. Mobile Security also enables mobile device users to specify their own Blocked or Approved list to filter unwanted incoming calls.

WAP-Push Protection

WAP-Push is a powerful method of delivering content to mobile devices automatically. To initiate the delivery of content, special messages called WAP-Push messages are sent to users. These messages typically contain information about the content and serve as a method by which users can accept or refuse the content.

Malicious users have been known to send out inaccurate or uninformative WAP-Push messages to trick users into accepting content that can include unwanted applications, system settings, and even malware. Mobile Security lets you use a list of trusted senders to filter WAP-Push messages and prevent unwanted content from reaching mobile devices.

The WAP-Push protection feature is not available on mobile devices without phone capabilities.

Authentication

After installing the Mobile Device Agent, the mobile device user need to provide the authentication information to enroll the mobile devices with the Mobile Security server.

Regular Updates

To protect against the most current threats, you can either update Mobile Security manually or configure it to update automatically. To save cost, you can also set a different update frequency for the mobile devices that are in roaming. Updates include component updates and Mobile Security program patch updates.
