Navigating the MTD
This section explains where to find various types of information and perform tasks within the MTD app.
Using the Dashboard
The first screen that is displayed after the activation is the dashboard. The area at the top of the dashboard provides a summary of the status. Each tile is color-coded based on the status of that particular category. The status colors are explained below:
Color | Description |
|---|---|
Green | Verifications have been made and there are no issues found. |
Yellow | Threats have been detected during this timeframe, but none are critical. |
Red | Critical threats have been detected during this timeframe. |
Each tile represents a specific category for threat detection:
Threat Zones provide information to the user if nearby available networks should be avoided (high-risk networks).Apps scans for potentially harmful applications.
Web checks for phishing links and enables and disables VPN depending on the administrator's settings in the console.
Device scans for potential threats or risks to the device, such as outdated OS version or update required.
Network identifies and protects from threats to the networks
Threat Zones provide information to the user if nearby available networks should be avoided (high-risk networks).
Files detects malicious PDFs or APKs (Android only) that are saved to the Downloads folder on your device, thereby countering novel phishing techniques that elude traditional email gateways.
Shortcuts (iOS only) allow a user or app to automate a set of actions. Apps can install shortcuts on the device as part of their normal operation, or shortcuts can be added directly from Apple or from external websites. Since iOS shortcuts allow executing actions on the device, they can pose a security or privacy risk. This feature detects risky iOS shortcuts and allows the user to remove them from the device.
Forensic Analysis (iOS only) performs a deep scan to detect malicious PDFs that are saved to your device, thereby countering novel phishing techniques that elude traditional email gateways.
Tutorials contain links to helpful information on various topics.
Tag Tracker (Android only) scans for tag trackers that may be tracking your location without your knowledge.
