SYMANTEC

Monitor and Protect Networks From Threats

Symantec’s SEP Mobile can integrate with an organization’s mobile device management/enterprise mobility management (MDM/EMM) to add active threat identification at the device, app and network-levels. SEP Mobile offers basic MDM capabilities such as setup configurations, passcode lock, remote wipe and reporting on jailbroken/rooted devices. SEP Mobile can leverage third-party VPN integrations to disallow non-compliant devices from connecting to corporate networks while under attack or while the mobile user has entered into a high-risk zone identified by SEP Mobile. For companies without a mobile VPN solution, SEP Mobile can automatically route sensitive traffic via SEP Mobile VPN to secure communication when a device is in a high-risk zone.
