Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense vs Kaspersky Security for Mobile

Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense protects managed corporate and employee-owned mobile devices from device, network, application and phishing threats. It analyzes links when users click them, blocks malicious URLs and alerts users when a site is blocked. Machine learning and real-time traffic analysis help identify phishing, malware and ransomware risks. Administrators can assess apps using risk scores and factors such as behavior, domains, certificates, shared code and network communications; apps can also be submitted by store URL or file for analysis.

The product integrates with Ivanti mobile device management to deploy and activate protection on managed Android, iOS and iPadOS devices without user action. Administrators can enforce policies against disabling or removing it, configure server- or device-initiated compliance actions, and set local remediation by user group. Management is through a cloud console, with no local servers or connectors to deploy. Ivanti lists the product as an add-on for Autonomous Endpoint Management. Pricing is on request.
