New in Absolute Secure Access Client 11.70.0 (Apr 25, 2019)
- Introducing the NetMotion Reputation Service:
- The NetMotion Reputation service exposes security threats to mobile phones, tablets, and laptops caused by naive or malicious users, applications and web endpoints, empowering administrators to defend their organization against mobile threats and legal risks and enforce compliance with corporate policies.
- Using advanced, cloud-based threat intelligence with a contextual analysis engine, the Reputation service provides deep insight across the online threat landscape. As the cloud service crawls millions of endpoints each day, it employs machine learning algorithms to classify them by security threat level (Are they safe?) and category (Are they prudent/appropriate?). Your NetMotion deployment gains powerful, real-time awareness with the ability to identify severe, high, moderate, and low risk threats from remote network resources accessed from mobile devices whether the user is running purpose-built apps, clicking on links in emails or SMS messages, or browsing the web.
- For example, if the Reputation service detects that a news site used by mobile employees contains a link to a server associated with a bot-net, administrators can create a policy to automatically block access to the bot-net’s URL without preventing employees from reading the news.
- When added to Mobility and leveraging NetMotion Mobile IQ® v2.50’s operational intelligence capabilities, the Reputation service actively analyzes endpoint activities to expose threats, categorize domain content, and reveal usage patterns. Administrators can discover problem behaviors and trace potential threats back to their source, giving them full visibility and control over how to respond to detrimental or inappropriate online activities. Policy enforcement happens on the mobile endpoint, bolstering the security of your organization’s mobile perimeter. Managers and administrators gain the insight to implement powerful and precise remediation policies that block or allow access by user, application, domain, network, or time of day.
- In Mobility, the reputation service is an add-on to the Analytics module. Contact your sales representative ([email protected]) for more details.
- Unified user credential support between Active Directory Domains and Azure AD:
- For customers who have authentication services in Azure AD and use Active Directory domain controllers, Mobility now accepts credentials formatted for Azure AD. This means that a user’s SAM logon (DOMAINsamAccountName), implicit UPN ([email protected]), and explicit UPN (upnUser@upnSuffix) will all successfully authenticate the same person.
