Hello,

Does anyone actually deploy antivirus for mobile / iOS devices?

example: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/security-connector/index.html

I fully understand this sandboxing & how it limits effectiveness

If you do use AV I'd like to hear your responses. Thank you

I'm just curious to see if anyone deploys antivirus

I don't believe that AV on iOS would do anything since the AV would only be able to scan itself...

I think most that represent themselves as AV are more about threat monitoring for things like website reputation, etc. and monitoring the internet traffic with a proxy or other service from doing traditional AV functions like we may think of them.
