Mobile Checks and Mobile Self-Remediation
I am excited to announce the immediate availability of Mobile Checks and Mobile end-user self-remediation for Kolide Device Trust customers.
Here’s a quick demo.
The Checks
As part of this release, we are proud to launch the initial set of Checks:
- Mobile OS - Ensure Device is Enrolled in Organization MDM
- Mobile OS - Ensure Device is Not Jailbroken or Rooted
- iOS - Require Passcode Configuration
- Android - Require Lock Screen Configuration
- iOS Software Updates - Ensure iOS Version is Up-to-date
- Android Software Updates - Ensure Google Pixel OS is Up-to-date
These Checks leverage the very same core set of data that is collected from mobile devices each time a user opens the app to authenticate.
Self-Remediation
In addition to shipping new Checks, we’ve updated our Kolide Mobile App to version 8. This version allows end-users to self-remediate any issues directly from the mobile application.
Just like on their desktop, users can now fix issues during authentication. In addition to fixing issues during authentication, end-users can also launch the Kolide Mobile App directly from their phone to review their devices, including any failing Checks. Just like before, the fix instructions are available right there inside the app.
MDM Enrollment Verification
One critical Check is the ability to verify that a mobile device is enrolled in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) provider. To enable this, we’ve added a new feature to Kolide called Device Management Providers.
This feature allows you to specify one or more MDM providers associated with your organization. For each MDM provider we add, Kolide will generate a secret key. Once you have the key, simply use your MDM to distribute the Kolide app to your managed mobile devices, with the key as part of the configuration.
If your mobile device is enrolled in an MDM, Kolide will report the name right on the device’s summary page. More importantly, you can use this ability to ensure only mobile devices that are enrolled in your MDM are allowed to register and authenticate to Kolide.
Of course, just like any Check, you can ensure that not only is the device enrolled in an MDM at registration time, but you can also make sure it stays that way by blocking a device from future authentications if it ever un-enrolls. To get that capability, you just need to set the Check’s device trust settings to block immediately.
With the launch of Mobile Checks and self-remediation, we’re excited to bring even more flexibility and control to Kolide Device Trust customers. These new features help ensure that only secure, managed devices are able to authenticate, while empowering end-users to fix any issues directly from their mobile devices.
