Use case: Detecting malware on an

Android

device

Chris Jones uses his personal

Android

device for work purposes as part of a bring-your-own-phone policy. A friend tells Chris about a new game that he should download from a website that offers free apps from independent developers. Chris downloads and installs the app on his device and starts to play the game.

The

UEM Client

is also installed on Chris’ device. The

CylancePROTECT Mobile

library in the

UEM Client

scans the device, identifies the new app, and sends the .apk files to the

CylanceINFINITY

cloud service.

CylanceINFINITY

analyses the app files and returns a confidence score to the

UEM Client

. The confidence score indicates that the app is potentially malicious.

Because a malicious app has been detected, the

UEM Client

carries out the compliance action that has been set by Chris’

UEM

administrator. Chris receives a device notification that his device is out of compliance, and he can no longer access

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps, such as

BlackBerry Work

and

BlackBerry Access

.

After checking with his administrator, Chris uninstalls the game. This returns his device to compliance and allows him to access

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps again.
