Zimperium Adds Self-Protecting Apps To Its Mobile Security Solution PlatformSAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimperium, Inc. announced today the industry's first mobile threat management platform to deliver continuous and real-time cyberthreat protection for mobile devices and applications. Zimperium's 3.0 Mobile Threat Protection suite is now available and includes a new product, zIAP, which enables self-protecting mobile applications, and brings new capabilities to its revolutionary on-device detection technology, zIPS, and underlying threat management console, zConsole. The product suite is built on a single platform that is in use around the globe by organizations in the financial, government, logistics, media, technology, telecommunications and transportation industries. With mobile device use in the workplace at an all-time high -- 64 percent of employees use a smartphone at work1 -- and an increasing number of Android and iOS vulnerabilities being exposed, enterprises are finally grasping the need to protect against mobile cyberattacks. "Given today's increasingly mobile workforce, companies shouldn't have to sacrifice security in the name of business productivity," said John Michelsen, Chief Product Officer at Zimperium. "We designed our Mobile Threat Protection suite to help enterprises secure both their mobilized business processes as well as employee, partner and customer apps. With zIAP, application developers can build security right into an application they are mobilizing, adding an unprecedented level of security for our customers." One Platform – Comprehensive Mobile Security and Self-Protecting Apps Zimperium is releasing its 3.0 Mobile Threat Protection suite including the following features for IT and security teams:
"With a workforce reliant on their mobile devices we knew it was critical to protect our customer and corporate data from today's advanced mobile threats," said Mike Burgess, Chief Information Security Officer at Telstra. "We rolled out Zimperium's solution suite to protect our travelling executives' mobile devices which provided a greater level of protection than our existing Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution. Our Zimperium experience has been a critical and effective addition to our enterprise mobility program and we're now in the process of deploying it enterprise-wide and making it available to our customers." "In 451 Research's December 2015 IT Decision-Maker survey, mobile security again came out as the top technological priority for the coming year. To safeguard valuable corporate data on mobile, enterprises must have a multi-layered security strategy that goes beyond conventional EMM capabilities focusing on corporate compliance. They also need to manage their mobile risk posture and protect against sophisticated mobile cyberattacks," said Chris Marsh, Research Director for Enterprise Mobility at 451 Research. "Solutions like Zimperium's Mobile Threat Protection suite can play a role in that process with its focus on protecting devices and applications from both known and, hugely importantly, unknown threats." "Our enterprise customers want to harness the power of mobile to improve mobile worker productivity and transform their business processes, but also know that it's critical they balance these initiatives with holistic mobile security," said Ajay Gupta, President and CEO of SDG Corporation. "We've recently partnered with Zimperium to add its enterprise mobile threat protection solution to our mobility portfolio because it's aligned with our focus on IT security and risk management. Additionally, Zimperium's new in-app protection product provides a simple way to incorporate security into our mobile application development projects." "Our team is constantly looking for innovative ways to evolve our technology and better protect our customers and partners," said Zuk Avraham, Founder, Chairman and CTO of Zimperium. "Most companies developing mobile applications do not have the expertise or time to spend on mobile security. Zimperium's In-App Protection allows vendors and developers to protect their users from advanced attacks like Stagefright, immediately." "Zimperium has taken a big step in moving from some of its leading research and applying it to protecting mobile devices in the workforce," said Mark Fernandes, Managing Director at Sierra Ventures. "Enterprises need to add security to the device and app level as network security is becoming an increasingly difficult challenge. This new suite of services arms enterprises with the tools they need to truly secure their workforce." "As employees continue to access critical data on their personal devices, comprehensive mobile threat protection is essential for all enterprises," said Shridhar Mittal, CEO of Zimperium. "We're constantly working to innovate and expand this suite of mobile security solutions to make sure companies and their employees are protected against all attacks, both known and unknown. This new suite of services increases our security reach further with self-protecting apps." See Zimperium's 3.0 Mobile Threat Protection suite in action at:
