MTD - Setup & Adding Mobile Users

Description

Table of Contents

Initial Configuration in Cylance Tenant

There are three primary items that need to be configured when initially setting up MTD in your Cylance tenant.

  • User Groups, these are used to manage and identify groups of Mobile Users, as well as automatically apply the needed policies to members of the User Group
  • Enrollment Policy, this is a policy that needs to be assigned to Mobile users so they receive an enrollment invitation to register the BlackBerry Protect app on their mobile device(s)
  • Protect Mobile Policy, this is the policy that enables or disables the desired monitoring features for the BlackBerry Protect mobile app
