FireEye Introduces Mobile Threat Prevention (MTP) for Mobile Devices

FireEye Mobile Threat Prevention (MTP) offers real-time visibility of threats on mobile devices, displays play-by-play analysis of suspicious apps, provides an index of pre-analyzed apps, and generates threat assessments for custom apps. FireEye Mobile Threat Prevention also leverages the broad FireEye ecosystem by exchanging threat intelligence through the FireEye Dynamic Threat Intelligence™ (DTI) cloud. FireEye Mobile MVX engine detects unknown threats FireEye Mobile Threat Prevention (MTP) is powered by the MVX engine. Rather than relying on binary signatures, the MVX engine detonates apps  within instrumented virtual Android and iOS mobile environments.

With this dynamic analysis, the MVX engine examines various malware parameters. And using contextual correlation—connecting disparate actions for a full picture of the app’s intent— it flags suspicious behaviors. This approach makes FireEye

Mobile Threat Prevention resilient to obfuscation, code manipulation, evasion techniques, and ensures it identifies known and unknown threats that other defenses miss.
