An application (or agent) is a piece of software that is installed on a user’s DEVICE. In order to detect jailbroken DEVICES — and thus keep corporate data SECURE — smart devices must have an agent on the device itself, and the agent must be part of the registration PROCESS to ensure that the agent and device is identified with a specific enterprise user.

The agent also can check the device and analyze its current state, monitoring for compliance with corporate policies. Without an agent, the device could be compliant during the initial registration process but non-compliant later. Based on the current state of the device, the agent can block the device from corporate resources and SEND alerts.
