Use case: Detecting malicious URLs in text messages on an

iOS

device

Michael Johnson uses his personal

iOS

device for work, as part of a bring-your-own-phone policy. Michael receives a text message with a link from an unknown number.

Michael’s

UEM

administrator had previously enabled SMS message scanning on his device. The

CylancePROTECT Mobile

library in the

UEM Client

on Michael’s device performs a routine scan and detects the text message that contains the URL.

Because the text message is from an unknown number, the

UEM Client

sends the message to

CylanceINFINITY

.

CylanceINFINITY

returns a real-time assessment that the URL is malicious. The

UEM Client

filters the text message to the SMS junk folder.

Michael goes into his junk folder and permanently deletes the message with the malicious URL from his device.
