Set Up the GlobalProtect Mobile
Security Manager
As mobile devices become more powerful, end users increasingly rely on them to perform business tasks.
However, these same devices that are accessing your corporate network are also connecting to the Internet
without protection against threats and vulnerabilities. The GlobalProtect Mobile Security Manager provides
mechanisms to configure device settings and accounts and perform device actions, such as locking and/or
wiping lost or stolen mobile devices. The Mobile Security Manager also publishes the state of the device to
GlobalProtect gateways (in the form of HIP reports) so that you can create granular access policies, for example,
allowing you to deny access to devices that are rooted/jailbroken.
The following topics describe the GlobalProtect Mobile Security Manager service and walk you through the
basic steps to get your Mobile Security Manager set up for device management.
