Mobile Devices

On the Mobile Devices Dashboard page for any Firebox with the Mobile Security feature enabled and with connected mobile devices, you can see an overview of the mobile devices connected to your Firebox.

The Mobile Devices Dashboard only appears if your Firebox has Mobile Security enabled and connected mobile devices with the necessary log message data to populate the Dashboard.

To see the Mobile Devices Dashboard:

  1. From the Devices page List, Health, or License tabs, select the name of a Firebox with connected mobile devices.
    If the Firebox has only a logging connection to Dimension, the Executive Dashboard page opens.
    If the Firebox has a management connection to Dimension, the Device Summary page opens.
  2. From the Start and End drop-down list calendars, select the start and end dates to include in the report data, then click Apply.
    The data in the Executive Dashboard changes based on the time range you specify.
  3. From the Tools tab, expand the Dashboards list and select Mobile Devices.
    The Mobile Devices page opens.

At the upper part of the page, these pie charts widgets appear:

Compliance Check

This widget shows a summary of the compliance status for all mobile devices connected to your Firebox over the selected time range:

  • Passed
  • Failed
  • Unknown

The summary includes the compliance status of the mobile devices and the percentage that each compliance status was assigned to the mobile devices. Because each mobile device has a different status at each stage of the compliance check, it is possible for each mobile device to have more than one compliance status, and each status for each mobile device is included in the summary data.

Device Type

This widget shows a summary of the device types for all the mobile devices connected to your Firebox over the selected time range:

  • iPhone
  • iPad
  • iOS Device
  • Android Phone
  • Android Tablet
  • Android Device
  • Other Device

Summary data also includes the percentage of each type of connected mobile device.

VPN

This widget shows a summary of all the VPN types used by the mobile devices connected to your Firebox over the selected time range. The summary includes each type of VPN and the percentage that each type of VPN was used over the selected time range. A mobile device might appear in the summary more than once if it connects with more than one type of VPN.

To see a description of the type of information that is included in each widget, place your cursor over the Information icon.
