Applying the Harmony Mobile Protect app Configuration and Policy Enforcement
If the user’s device is determined to be at risk because of a malicious app or malicious activity, the Harmony Mobile system notifies the user by sending the in-app notifications, and also updates the risk state by setting the appropriate risk_level extension attribute to MobileIron Cloud for the device. This device must be added automatically to the Device Group with the criteria of an extension attribute. Also, MobileIron Cloud must have a Configuration Profile that can apply a policy on a Mobile Device Group.
For example, an Administrator is blacklisting a Waze app. As a result, all the devices with Waze is identified as devices at High Risk (“risk_level”=”CHKP_Risk_High”). The Harmony Mobile Dashboard notifies the user and mark the device with “risk_level” set to ”CHKP_Risk_High” in MobileIron Cloud. This adds the device to the Smart Mobile Device Group “CHKP_Risk_High”. Then the MobileIron Cloud system enforces policy actions specified in the Configuration Profile. This mitigation process is described in Configuring Integration Settings.
