Use case: Detecting malicious URLs in SMS 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.
