What is the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 app?

The
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 app provides you with increased awareness of the security of your mobile device and empowers you to take action to resolve threats without administrator intervention.
The
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 app provides you with:
  • An overall security assessment of the device
  • A list of malicious or sideloaded apps that have been detected
  • Alerts about network issues or device settings that pose a security risk
  • The ability to detect malicious URLs in text messages
  • User-friendly options to guide you to take corrective action, such as uninstall malicious or sideloaded apps and to correct device settings or conditions
The
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 app scans the device in regular intervals to identify threats. When the app detects a threat, you can view details in the app. Whenever possible, the app guides you to resolve a threat and guides you to the device settings where you can address the issue. For more information, see Key features of the CylancePROTECT Mobile app.
Your
Cylance Endpoint Security
 administrator can configure the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 app to send you a device notification, an email notification, or no notification when a threat is detected. You can always view any active alerts in the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 app.
