While Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, such as Microsoft Intune, and Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) solutions, such as Microsoft Defender, have become standard tools in enterprise security arsenals, they leave a critical vulnerability exposed: mobile applications. Q-scout adds that missing visibility, analyzing mobile apps for risky behavior, data exposure, and compliance vulnerabilities.
Q-scout delivers comprehensive analysis by scanning all apps in Intune inventory—including those from third-party stores—and profiling behaviors like app collusion, data harvesting, risky SDKs, and more. Leveraging AI-powered engines, its behavior-driven detection provides granular insights into unknown malware, privacy risks, and compliance concerns.
Q-scout generates complete SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials), including embedded libraries, for every app in the Intune inventory to enable detailed and reliable vulnerability analysis.
Q-scout integrates with Intune workflows to automatically flag, block, or quarantine high-risk apps based on predefined protection policies. IT teams gain the ability to enforce compliance and security at scale, without manually inspecting every app in use.
Q-scout performs deep app analysis off-device—no new agents and no user disruption, enabling quick deployment and scalability. Apps are analyzed in the cloud through static and dynamic analysis, including runtime behavior in sandboxed environments.
Q-scout integrates with Microsoft Intune using the Microsoft Graph API, enabling security teams to continuously monitor and assess the mobile apps installed on Intune-managed devices.
App inventories are automatically ingested from Intune into Q-scout and analyzed with Quokka’s proprietary, defense-grade engines to identify security, privacy, and compliance threats and risks.
Based on the mobile app risk intelligence from Q-scout, admins and Intune then take remediation actions.
The analyses are also ingested by Sentinel and Q-scout analytic rules trigger alerts, enabling organizations to prioritize and address app risks.
When a new app or a new version of an existing app is detected, Q-scout begins analyzing the apps again, providing continuous app monitoring.
Microsoft Intune (MDM) manages devices and apps, and Defender (MTD) helps detect mobile threats, but neither provides deep, behavior-based app vetting across all installed apps. Q-scout fills that gap by analyzing mobile apps for risky behavior, data exposure, and compliance issues, then turning those findings into actions inside Intune and alerts in Sentinel.
Q-scout connects to Intune through the Microsoft Graph API. It ingests app inventory from Intune-managed devices, analyzes each app in Quokka’s cloud, then returns app risk intelligence that admins can use for policy-based remediation.
Q-scout ingests its analysis results into Microsoft Sentinel. From there, Q-scout automated analytic rules can trigger alerts so security teams can triage and prioritize risky apps using existing SOC workflows.
No. Q-scout runs app analysis off-device in the cloud, which supports faster rollout and avoids user disruption. Q-scout simply integrates with Intune and ingests the apps from Intune. It then uses proprietary engines in the cloud to perform static and dynamic analysis, including runtime behavior in sandboxed environments.
Q-scout extends Zero Trust to the mobile app layer. While device identity and compliance are enforced by tools like Microsoft Intune, Q-scout evaluates the behavior and risk of the apps installed on those devices. This allows security teams to consider what apps actually do—such as data access patterns, embedded SDKs, or network activity—when enforcing policies and making access decisions.
