Mobile devices

CrowdStrike Falcon can be installed on smartphones via an MDM solution or manually using a QR code.

MDM

CrowdStrike Falcon installs through an MDM like any other managed application: push it from your MDM console (app store or enterprise catalog) to the target devices, making sure the customer ID is configured for the app.

There are too many MDM solutions to document each one individually. Refer to your MDM provider's own documentation for the exact deployment steps.

Deploying via MDM does not remove the manual step described in the Manual tab: each employee still needs to receive and scan their QR code by email to complete the setup.

Manual

Setup in Stoïk Protect

1. Open Stoïk Protect, go to MDR > Settings.

2. Under the Mobiles section, click Deploy.

3. Add employees by entering their email addresses manually, or uploading a CSV file.

4. Each employee receives a personalized email containing a QR code.

Install on the mobile device

1. Download the CrowdStrike Falcon app.

2. Open the app and scan the QR code received by email.

   

   

The EDR installs automatically and the device appears in your monitored hosts list in Stoïk Protect.

Good to know

What happens if a user uses their work phone for personal purposes?

• Android: Two separate environments can be configured via software separation (with two "Play Stores"). In this case, no personal activity is blocked, as CrowdStrike is only installed on one environment.

• iOS: CrowdStrike does not have the ability to block applications. The installation is non-intrusive, focused on detecting risky behavior.

What does the mobile EDR block?

• Malicious IP addresses and domains

• Applications deemed dangerous
