Check Point Harmony Mobile vs. Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile

It immediately tells you when an app is malicious, its always scanning the device. The policies you can enforce on the device allows you to know that the device can remain secure. I have a hard time describing scenarios where is it less appropriate because Harmony Mobile was made to secure mobile devices.

Incentivized

Suited for large-scale organizations, where most users are accessing organization data and resources from their mobile devices.if a Malicious app is detected in Google Play, Symantec will provide protection by alerting the SOC team and allowing the removal of this app to the entire environment. The fact that it sometimes detects genuine apps and programs as a threat and tries to deal with them

• Blocks Smishing Attacks
• Blocks specific categories of content e.g. Pornography
• Ability to Scan Applications to determine their integrity

Incentivized

• Mobile malware protection
• content filtering
• Root/Jailbreak detection
• device secure configuration enforcement

• I think the ability to scan a Wi-Fi network prior to joining can be an excellent addition
• On demand application scanning
• Alert users when an application becomes malicious

Incentivized

• better reporting
• reduce false positive
• support can be better

Harmony Mobile is really a cut above the rest because it really is the first application of its kind, the first Mobile Threat Defense tool that is designed for just that. Detecting and preventing threats. It should be the baseline used to develop other MTD applications because of its already high standards and quality.

Even programmers who build complex code do not experience any
negative effects from this lightweight agent, which cannot be readily destroyed
or removed so that devices are always being watched. Additionally, it offers
deception technologies that other suppliers frequently do not in comparable
solutions. It has the capacity to proactively quarantine potentially infected
devices.

• Secure phones means less possibility for breaches
• Only safe apps can be installed
• Savings from the reduction in the possibility of breaches

Incentivized

• positive: all companies mobile device are secured and no need to reset device frequently
• positive: connect to a SIEM for suspicious events correlation
• positive: provide employees BYOD protection
