How Bitdefender Protects Android, iOS and Chromebook Users
GravityZone Security for Mobile uses Bitdefender's anti-malware, threat intelligence solutions and machine learning to vet applications, track device status and guard against malicious apps and phishing attacks, Bitdefender noted. In doing so, the solution helps organizations improve their security posture.
In addition, GravityZone Security for Mobile detects network-based threats and maps them to the tactics and techniques used in MITRE ATT&CK security evaluations, Bitdefender said. As such, the solution helps organizations prevent, detect and respond to network-based threats such as:
- Reconnaissance attempts when cybercriminals secretly gather information about organizations' information systems)
- Weak security connections and man-in-the-middle attacks when cybercriminals try to intercept multi-factor authentication codes sent to mobile devices

- Mobile device management (MDM)
- Enterprise mobility management (EMM)
- Unified endpoint management (UEM) and security information
