Arctic Wolf launches Aurora Mobile Threat Defense for iOS and Android

Arctic Wolf introduced Aurora Mobile Threat Defense, a mobile security offering focused on the mobile attack surface. The company positioned the release around device behavior and threat detection for iOS and Android environments where security teams need visibility into mobile phishing, malicious applications, and unsafe networks.

The company said many organizations rely on Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) or Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools that it said were not designed to detect mobile phishing, malicious applications, or unsafe networks. Arctic Wolf stated that Aurora Mobile Threat Defense extended its security operations approach to mobile devices, including both corporate-owned and BYOD devices, while targeting issues related to sensitive corporate data on mobile endpoints.

Arctic Wolf said the product continuously analyzed device behavior, network connections, application activity, and phishing indicators in real time. The capabilities described included real-time attack defense to detect and block mobile phishing, malware, and device-level threats; rogue and unsafe network detection with automatic network disconnection when risk was identified; identification of malicious and non-compliant applications that may expose corporate or personal data; cross-platform coverage across iOS and Android environments; and privacy-friendly forensics intended to deliver strong security outcomes without invasive data collection.

In parallel with the launch, Arctic Wolf said it enhanced Aurora Threat Intelligence Plus and the Concierge Experience. The Threat Intelligence Plus update included threat intelligence as a standalone offering, enabling access to Arctic Wolf threat intelligence without adopting Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and dynamic blocklists that could automatically deploy indicators of compromise to a range of security devices, including those that did not support STIX/TAXII integrations. Arctic Wolf also said Concierge customers could access self-serve Security Posture in-depth Reviews (SPiDRs) across all service tiers and could run available security posture reviews immediately in the Unified Portal. “Mobile devices hold direct access to sensitive corporate data, yet they remain one of the least protected attack surfaces,” said Dan Schiappa, President of Technology and Services at Arctic Wolf. “Aurora Mobile Threat Defense brings mobile security into modern security operations, giving organizations confidence to secure their devices while keeping employee privacy top of mind.” Certain statements in the release were forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary by customer environment, configuration, and use case.
