Add and assign Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) apps with Intune

  • Article

You can use Intune to add and deploy Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) apps so that end users can receive notifications when a threat is identified in their mobile devices, and to receive guidance to remediate the threats.

Note

This article applies to all Mobile Threat Defense partners.

Before you begin

Complete the following steps in Intune. Make sure you're familiar with the process of:

Tip

The Intune Company Portal works as the broker on Android devices so users can have their identities checked by Microsoft Entra.

Configure Microsoft Authenticator for iOS

For iOS devices, you need the Microsoft Authenticator so users can have their identities checked by Microsoft Entra ID. Additionally, you need an iOS app configuration policy that sets the MTD iOS app you use with Intune.

See the instructions for adding iOS store apps to Microsoft Intune. Use this Microsoft Authenticator app store URL when you configure App information.

Configure your MTD apps with an app configuration policy

To simplify user onboarding, the Mobile Threat Defense apps on MDM-managed devices use app configuration. For unenrolled devices, MDM based app configuration isn't available. See Add Mobile Threat Defense apps to unenrolled devices.

BlackBerry Protect configuration policy

See the instructions for using Microsoft Intune app configuration policies for iOS to add the BlackBerry Protect iOS app configuration policy.

Better Mobile app configuration policy

See the instructions for using Microsoft Intune app configuration policies for iOS to add the Better Mobile iOS app configuration policy.

  • For Configuration settings format, select Enter XML data, copy the following content and paste it into the configuration policy body. Replace the https://client.bmobi.net URL with the appropriate console URL.

    <dict>
<key>better_server_url</key>
<string>https://client.bmobi.net</string>
<key>better_udid</key>
<string>{{aaddeviceid}}</string>
<key>better_user</key>
<string>{{userprincipalname}}</string>
</dict>

Check Point Harmony Mobile Protect app configuration policy

See the instructions for using Microsoft Intune app configuration policies for iOS to add the Check Point Harmony Mobile iOS app configuration policy.

  • For Configuration settings format, select Enter XML data, copy the following content and paste it into the configuration policy body.

    <dict><key>MDM</key><string>INTUNE</string></dict>

CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile app configuration policy

To configure Android Enterprise and iOS app configuration policies for CrowdStrike Falcon, see Integrating Falcon for Mobile with Microsoft Intune for remediation actions in the CrowdStrike documentation. You must sign in with your CrowdStrike credentials before you can access this content.

For general guidance about Intune app configuration policies, see the following articles in the Intune documentation:

Jamf Trust app configuration policy

Note

For initial testing, use a test group when assigning users and devices in the Assignments section of the configuration policy.

  • Android Enterprise:
    See the instructions for using Microsoft Intune app configuration policies for Android to add the Jamf Android app configuration policy using the following information when prompted.

    1. In the Jamf Portal, select the Add button under Configuration settings format.
    2. Select Activation Profile URL from the list of Configuration Keys. Select OK.
    3. For Activation Profile URL select string from the Value type menu then copy the Shareable Link URL from the desired Activation Profile in RADAR.
    4. In the Intune admin center app configuration UI, select Settings, define Configuration settings format > Use Configuration Designer and paste the Shareable Link URL.

    Note

    Unlike iOS, you will need to define a unique Android Enterprise app configuration policy for each Activation Profile. If you don’t require multiple Activation Profiles, you may use a single Android app configuration for all target devices. When creating Activation Profiles in Jamf, be sure to select Microsoft Entra ID under the Associated User configuration to ensure Jamf is able to synchronize the device with Intune via UEM Connect.

  • iOS:
    See the instructions for using Microsoft Intune app configuration policies for iOS to add the Jamf iOS app configuration policy using the information below when prompted.

    1. In Jamf Portal, navigate to Devices > Activations and select any activation profile. Select Deployment Strategies > Managed Devices > Microsoft Intune and locate the iOS App Configuration settings.
    2. Expand the box to reveal the iOS app configuration XML and copy it to your system clipboard.
    3. In Intune admin center app configuration UI Settings, define Configuration settings format > Enter XML data.
    4. Paste the XML in the app configuration text box.

    Note

    A single iOS configuration policy may be used across all devices that are to be provisioned with Jamf.
