The Mobile Malware Problem

It’s a misconception that mobile devices are inherently safer than desktops. In fact, modern Android and iOS devices face a growing number of advanced threats, including:

• Fileless malware that runs in memory and leaves no trace
• Malicious apps that request broad permissions to steal data
• Spyware that quietly records activity, location, or camera access
• Man-in-the-Middle attacks over public or insecure Wi-Fi networks

According to numerous cybersecurity reports, mobile-targeted malware is no longer rare—it’s rising fast, and often flies under the radar due to limited visibility into mobile activity.

Why Traditional Security Isn’t Enough

Standard antivirus solutions are often built for desktops. They rarely monitor mobile-specific vectors like Bluetooth traffic, insecure app installations, or USB-based firmware exploits. What’s more, most mobile devices don’t run continuous endpoint monitoring or generate alerts when suspicious activity occurs.

The result? Companies operate under a false sense of security—until malware silently exfiltrates files, escalates privileges, or provides backdoor access into the broader network.

How Pligence Connect Closes the Gaps

Pligence Connect brings enterprise-grade visibility and automated security to the most vulnerable part of your infrastructure: your mobile devices.

Here’s how:

1. AI-Powered Malware Detection

Pligence Connect uses intelligent behavioral analysis to detect zero-day threats, unusual app behavior, and unauthorized processes in real-time. Even if a threat hasn’t been seen before, its behavior won’t go unnoticed.

2. Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts

Whether it's a suspicious app install, a spike in background data usage, or unauthorized device configuration changes, Pligence Connect continuously monitors devices and sends alerts to your IT team.

3. App Control & Whitelisting

Malware often enters through sideloaded or impersonated apps. Pligence Connect lets admins block, restrict, or uninstall apps remotely and enforce approved app lists—ensuring only trusted software runs on your network.

4. USB & Firmware Protection

If malware attempts to spread via USB (through infected firmware or dropped devices), Pligence can lock down ports, restrict device permissions, and monitor physical access attempts—minimizing lateral movement risks.

Final Thoughts

Mobile security needs more than device encryption or antivirus apps. It requires real-time intelligence, proactive enforcement, and the ability to adapt to threats as they emerge.

Pligence Connect empowers organizations to do just that—protecting users, devices, and data with intelligent automation that works wherever your workforce goes.

Because if malware never gets a chance to hide, it never gets a chance to win.
