Abstract
A technique provisions a mobile device (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet, a personal digital assistant, etc.) with a security application on the fly. The technique involves providing, by processing circuitry of the mobile device, an initial access request to an enterprise gateway which is operated by an enterprise. The technique further involves receiving, by the processing circuitry, an enterprise response message from the enterprise gateway in response to the initial access request. The enterprise response message denies access to a set of enterprise resources of the enterprise. The technique further involves automatically prompting, by the processing circuitry, the mobile device to install a mobile security application from an application server in response to the enterprise response message denying access to the set of enterprise resources of the enterprise.
