The components of the CylancePROTECT Mobile solution
Item
Description
CylancePROTECT
cloud services
The management console and the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
app on users’ devices use a secure connection to communicate with the
CylancePROTECT
cloud services, which are responsible for creating and configuring user accounts, applying
CylancePROTECT Mobile
features and settings to devices, and processing events and alerts in real time.
The
CylancePROTECT
services use AI and machine learning to determine whether software and websites are potentially malicious and a threat to the security of a device. This AI engine is a core component of several
CylancePROTECT Mobile
features, including malware detection, SMS message scanning, and network security validation. At its core, the AI engine enables an aggressive and proactive security strategy, identifying malicious software and websites before they can have any impact on your organization's infrastructure or device users.
Management console
The cloud-based management console allows you to manage mobile devices, configure and manage
CylancePROTECT Mobile
features, and view device status and the mobile alerts that are detected by the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
app.
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
The
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
is an optional component that allows
Cylance Endpoint Security
to synchronize
CylancePROTECT Mobile
users and groups with your on-premises
Microsoft Active Directory
or LDAP directory.
Cylance Endpoint Security
can synchronize users and groups with
Entra
Active Directory
without the
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
.
Devices with the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
app
The
CylancePROTECT Mobile
app installed on
iOS
,
Android
, and
Chrome
OS devices scans the device in regular intervals and checks device settings and conditions to identify threats. When the app detects a threat, the user can view details in the app. Whenever possible, the app gives the user direction to resolve a threat and guides them to the device settings where they can address the issue.
MDM Solution
Optionally, you can connect
Cylance Endpoint Security
to
Microsoft Intune
so that
Cylance Endpoint Security
can report a device risk level to
Microsoft Intune
. The device risk level is calculated based on the detection of mobile threats by the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
app on
Intune
-managed devices.
Intune
can execute mitigation actions on devices based on the device risk level.
