You can configure threat protection policies that include: Scan type (real-time and card scan), action taken for malware, number of compression layers to scan, and the file type.
To configure malware protection policy settings, click Policies, then click the policy name, and then click Malware Protection Policy.
  • Scan Types: Mobile Security provides several types of scans to protect mobile devices from malware.
    • Real-time Scan: Mobile Device Agent scans files on mobile devices in real time. If Mobile Device Agent detects no security risk, users can proceed to open or save the file. If Mobile Device Agent detects a security risk, it displays the scan result, showing the name of the file and the specific security risk. Mobile Security will generate a log with the scan result on the mobile device. The scan log is sent and stored on the Mobile Security database.
    • Scan after pattern update: If you select the this option in the Malware Protection Policy screen, Mobile Security will run an automatic-scan for security threats after successful pattern update on Android mobile devices.
  • Scan Options
    • Scan installed applications only: Select this option if you want to scan installed applications only.
    • Scan installed applications and files: Select this option if you want to scan installed applications and other files on mobile device's storage, and then select whether to scan only APK files or all files.
