The ability to collect data from a device such as a smartphone via the “protection” within an app without requiring any software agent to be installed on the device, thereby extending threat defense to unmanaged consumer devices, something MTD (mobile threat device) cannot do.
Real-World Examples
Verimatrix’s XTD and app shielding and threat defense platform use agentless telemetry within the mobile apps they protect to monitor device-level information and app data to help identify threats without the need for an additional security app or agent to be installed on the user’s phone.
