Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) is a category of cybersecurity that focuses on detecting and responding to mobile-specific threats within managed devices like employee-issued company smartphones and requires an agent to be placed on the phone.
Extended Threat Defense (XTD) is a product from Verimatrix that shields apps with powerful, layered security and provides a new type of endpoint detection & response by monitoring all connected devices using the app. XTD’s zero-code deployment means no agent needs to be installed on the unmanaged consumer devices using the protected app.
Companies use Verimatrix XTD to shield mobile apps with advanced, layered security to make them difficult to hack. Companies use MTD solutions to secure the phone they provide to employees (managed devices).
Is XTD similar to MTD?
No, they are completely different types of cybersecurity.
