Abstract
New features and functionality for MaaS360 and Trusteer Threat Management
Content
MaaS360 adds support for enforcing the Trusteer Threat Management policies through Persona policies for mixed mode (MDM+SPS) customers. Previously, the MDM Trusteer policies took precedence over Persona policies in all scenarios.
When a Trusteer Threat Management policy is enabled in both MDM and SPS, the MDM policies take precedence. Other scenarios are explained in the table below:
| MDM Policy | Persona Policy | Policy applied |
|---|---|---|
| Trusteer Policy is enabled. | Trusteer Policy is not enabled. | MDM |
| Trusteer Policy is not enabled. | Trusteer Policy is enabled. | Persona |
| Enable Trusteer Threat Management: Enabled. Restrict access to insecure Wi-Fi: Enabled. | Restrict Devices with Malware: Enabled. Restrict access to insecure Wi-Fi: Enabled. | MDM policy is applied. MDM policy is applied. |
| Enable Trusteer Threat Management: Enabled Restrict access to insecure Wi-Fi: Not Enabled. | Restrict Devices with Malware: Enabled. Restrict access to insecure Wi-Fi: Enabled. | MDM policy is applied. Persona policy is applied. |
| Enable Trusteer Threat Management: Enabled. Restrict access to insecure Wi-Fi: Enabled. | Restrict Devices with Malware: Enabled Restrict access to insecure Wi-Fi: Not Enabled. | MDM policy is applied. MDM policy is applied. |
Restrict Access to Insecure WiFi
MaaS360 requires the users to turn on location permissions on the device in order for the MaaS360 agent to detect and report the Wi-Fi status of the device to the MaaS360 portal.
The behavior of the device when the location is turned off is described in the table below:
| Location | MDM-Only Policy | SPS-Only Policy | MDM + SPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location permission disabled | Device goes out of compliance and users get an option to allow Location permission. | MaaS360 container is blocked | Device goes out of compliance and users get an option to allow Location permission. |
When insecure Wi-Fi connection is found, MaaS360 takes appropriate actions as defined by the administrator.
| Insecure Wi-Fi | MDM-Only Policy | SPS-Only Policy | MDM + SPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Action: Notify User | Users get a notification to disable/switch Wi-Fi connection | Users get a notification to disable/switch Wi-Fi connection. | Users get a notification to disable/switch Wi-Fi connection. |
| Action: Block | Device goes out of compliance and users get an option to disable/switch Wi-Fi connection | MaaS360 container is blocked and users get an option to disable/switch Wi-Fi connection | Device goes out of compliance and users get an option to disable/switch Wi-Fi connection. |
