Telstra bundles Jamf security licences as Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect

Written by Michelle Lewis | Jul 28, 2021 2:00:00 AM

Updated October 2024 - Telstra has responded to the escalating threat to corporate mobile devices by delivering a targeted promotion with its mobile security partner, Jamf (formerly Wandera).

 

Telstra has partnered with global endpoint security leader, Jamf, to launch Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect for Apple corporate fleets. And for a limited time, Telstra is bundling two Jamf licences, effectively giving a 50 percent discount off RRP.

**UPDATE** Wandera was procured by Jamf on 1 July 2021. The Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect product is essentially unchanged however the included solutions have been renamed with the Wandera branding being replaced by Jamf. 

 

What is the Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect Promotion?

Telstra enterprise and business customers with iOS and Android devices are eligible to purchase two Jamf product licences - Mobile Threat Defence, and, Data Policy Manager (Content Filtering) - for the price of one.

RRP for each licence is $4.10 per iOS or Android service per month. Both licences will cost a total of $4.10 inc.GST.

Telstra has bundled the licences to give iOS and Android customers protection against external threats at the device and network layer, as well as reliable and secure access to business applications.

As a Telstra Platinum Partner, and also a Jamf Partner, MobileCorp is able to leverage this offer for Telstra customers.

 

What is Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect?

Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect is an endpoint security software-as-a-service solution powered by Jamf and specifically designed for iOS devices on Telstra’s mobile network. It was expanded to include Android devices more recently.

Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect brings the additional security of Jamf to both iOS and Android platforms.

It is designed to help keep employees personal and corporate information secure, while also delivering a best-in-class user experience.

 

 

The threat has never been greater

The shift to remote working has exposed what we have known for some time - the endpoint and the end user are the weak links in the security mesh. Continuing to ignore this reality is no longer an option for organisations as cyber attacks have skyrocketed in the past 12 months. 

 

How does Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect Work?

Jamf provides security at both the device and the network layer.

The solution is enabled through the Jamf Security Cloud delivered across a global network and managed through a customer administration console called RADAR. 

Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect leverages Jamf's threat intelligence engine MI:RIAM to protect against cyber threats to iOS mobile devices and users, such as phishing, man-in-the-middle and network attacks, malicious traffic and websites, and unsafe applications.

As well as protecting against threats, Jamf helps organisations identify vulnerabilities, flagging potential risks such as outdated OS versions, vulnerable apps, or risky profiles. It also provides web content filtering across all remote user traffic (both cellular and Wi-Fi).

Threats are detected at the endpoint via Jamf's endpoint application, and also prevented in the network via Jamf's Secure Access Layer or Cloud Gateway.

 

Native Integration for zero touch deployment

Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect has native integrations across IdP, UEM, SIEM and EDR. 

The Jamf app is downloaded to each Apple device - either as an automated deployment for managed devices via MDM platforms like Microsoft Intune, VMware Workspace ONE, or MobileIron; or via self-enrolment via single sign on for unmanaged devices.

The SaaS configures dynamic traffic steering options to the Jamf Security Cloud, and provides active detection of threats and device risk, real-time notifications and reports to employees.

Device deployment, policies, groups, service settings and reports are all managed through a single administrative portal named RADAR. RADAR supports SSO and MFA for industry leading security.

 

Telstra Enterprise Mobile Protect bundles two Jamf licences

This solution has bundled two Jamf licences for comprehensive security and also providing visibility and management of employee behaviour and data consumption.

Jamf Mobile Threat Defence - is powered by a global threat intelligence engine that ingests information from 425 million mobile sensors daily to protect against the broadest range of known and zero day threats.

  • monitors endpoints for vulnerabilities
  • performs continuous app risk assessments
  • detects man-in-the-middle attacks and opens a fail-safe VPN tunnel to ensure business continuity
  • protects against known and zero-day phishing threats
  • stops malicious downloads and connections to third-party app stores
  • monitors for data leaks and prevents sensitive data loss
  • applies a continuous risk assessment of endpoints before enabling access. If an endpoint is compromised or at high risk, access can be denied
  • integrates with UEM to automatically apply risk-based access policies for endpoints

Jamf Content Filtering - provides visibility of mobile data consumption and enables optimisation through data capping, content filtering and even tethering (mobile hotspot) management. 

  • ensures that remote users only access only approved sites, applications and services.
  • enforces acceptable online behaviour with intelligent content filtering rules
  • mitigates legal exposure from non-compliant or illicit use
  • prevents sensitive corporate data from being exposed on personally enabled cloud apps
  • blocks unsanctioned services via the browser and application
  • prevents excessive data usage by providing visibility of data consumption with real-time analytics and detailed reporting
  • prevents bill shock by capping and limiting non-business data usage
  • reduces roaming charges with overseas data management controls (not super useful right now but...)
