Free-to-use EDR tool

Alliance Shield App Manager is a free-to-use utility that helps organizations manage and control access to issued devices. As a security tool, it allows you to set up a rudimentary endpoint detection and response (EDR) strategy that covers a wide range of devices and operating systems. Charge devices securely or prevent unauthorized updates and data transfers with this app.

Alliance Shield App Manager is a good app, although casual users might need a few minutes to learn how the app works. It has a lot of features on a streamlined layout. You might also want to try Magisk Manager.

Protect your company’s devices

Alliance Shield App Manager is designed for companies who issue devices to their employees, or those who authorize gadgets to access company networks. In cybersecurity, this is included in an aspect called Endpoint Detection and Response, which aims to secure the end-user devices that connect to a network, preventing malware and unauthorized changes from taking place. It supports both Android and Apple iOS devices.

With a simple black-and-red interface, it’s easy to pick up the features available on this platform. Some of its most prominent capabilities include the Red Shield, which effectively blocks all Over The Air (OTA) updates without the right authorization. Its Secure Charge feature allows your end-users to charge devices and blocks the USB-data transfer, which is useful when charging devices via PCs or laptops.

With an 8.5 MB file size, it won’t be disruptive wherever you install it. However, it’s quite technical and non-IT users might find it difficult to set up. As a free tool, expect restrictions in terms of being configurable. The Red Shield blocks all OTA transactions like Google Account Sync or Apple iCloud. Also, Samsung users reported being unable to use this app unless they get their devices rooted.

Still a good security app

If you’re looking to boost your company’s defenses through an EDR strategy, Alliance Shield App Manager is a cost-effective way to start. It automatically protects your end-user devices by ensuring that no unauthorized data transfer takes place. It supports a wide range of devices, although a host of Samsung devices no longer support it by default. Still, it does exactly as advertised. Recommended.
