Late last week, Microsoft announced the Mobile Network Protection feature for Android and iOS devices will be integrated with the company’s cloud-based security platform Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE). According to the announcement, the feature will help businesses find weaknesses in their mobile data networks.
MDE’s new service will be toggled off by default, Microsoft said, claiming once users turn it on, it will notify IT security admins of different Wi-Fi threats and rogue certificates. It is also capable of spotting unwanted hardware like the Hak5 Wi-Fi Pineapple device that is often used by threat actors to steal data moving through the target network.
