WithSecure Elements Mobile Protection is an application designed to provide comprehensive protection for Android devices. It is a proactive and streamlined solution that aims to prevent various threats such as phishing attempts, harmful websites, malware, and vulnerabilities. This application is specifically designed for business use and requires a valid endpoint protection license.
The key features of WithSecure Elements Mobile Protection include Browsing Protection, Ultralight Anti-Malware, Anti-Tracking, and third-party mobile device management (MDM) support. Browsing Protection prevents users from visiting malicious websites, while Ultralight Anti-Malware blocks common viruses and modern malware and also detects ransomware. Anti-Tracking is another important feature that prevents online tracking from advertisers and cyber criminals. Additionally, this application also supports third-party MDM solutions such as VMware Workspace ONE, IBM Security MaaS360, Google Workspace Endpoint Management, Microsoft Intune, Miradore, Ivanti Endpoint Management, and Samsung Knox.
It is worth noting that in order to use Browsing Protection and Anti-Tracking, a local VPN profile will be created. However, unlike traditional VPNs, the traffic will not be routed through third-party servers. Instead, the local VPN profile is used to evaluate the reputation of URLs before they are loaded. This ensures that users are protected from potentially harmful websites without compromising their privacy.
In summary, WithSecure Elements Mobile Protection is a comprehensive and proactive solution for Android devices that offers protection against various threats. Its key features include Browsing Protection, Ultralight Anti-Malware, Anti-Tracking, and third-party MDM support. However, it is important to note that this application is only available for business use and requires a valid endpoint protection license.
