Mobile App Risk Management
for the Enterprise
PRODUCT DATASHEET
Are Employee Mobile Apps Stealing Your Company Data?
Employee use of mobile apps is exploding across the enterprise, resulting in a
dramatic increase in information security risks to company data. With millions

thousands of apps everyday, it’s been impossible for IT mobility and security teams
to keep up with potential threats, until now.
Appthority solves the mobile app risk problem by enabling enterprise IT to
automate the collection, analysis, and risk remediation of employee mobile apps
that threaten company data and/or violate compliance policies for information security.

enterprise before it becomes a business-critical issue or crisis.

Mobile App Risk Analysis
Every mobile app has the potential to steal or leak sensitive and
private company information. Risky app behaviors, hidden actions,
and malicious malware code can all conspire to exfiltrate valuable
information from employee mobile devices. Appthority incorporates
the most advanced app risk analysis technologies available for
assessing and reporting the risks to your enterprise information.
IT Risk Management & Policy Controls
Effective security is not one size fits all. Few companies have the
same information risk policies nor the same enforcement strategies.
Mobile risk policy for executives traveling to remote geographies may
be different from development engineers collaborating and sharing
sensitive IP. Appthority gives you the flexibility and control to create
and apply the app risk policies best suited to your security needs.
Customer Mobile Device
Management System (MDM)
Appthority works both standalone and can integrate with existing MDM device
management systems.
Enterprises are vulnerable to security
breaches unless they adopt methods
and technologies for mobile application
security testing and risk assurance.

On-Device Protections & Alerts
The risks to your enterprise from mobile apps is dynamically
changing every minute of every day as employees install new apps
and/or update existing ones. How can you stay current with all those
environment changes to avoid the noise and know which changes are
potentially the greatest risk to your company’s information? Appthority
provides an on-device mobile app (iOS & Android) to continuously
monitor employee devices for risky app installs or malware.
The Appthority mobile app also gives employees tools
for self-managing risk compliance on their mobile device.
Mobile Device Management Integrations
An MDM can be the foundational piece of your enterprise mobility
management strategy. Managing employee devices, and even apps,
is core to that strategy. But how do you add the app security and risk
intelligence to drive compliance actions you might want to take with
your MDM? Appthority’s seamless integration with leading MDM
systems adds powerful app risk assessment and analysis capabilities
to greatly enhance your existing mobility management investment.
