Mobile security solution for anyone wanting mobile endpoint and mobile app protection

About zDefend

Zimperium zDefend offers an outside-in approach to mobile in-app protection. It’s an SDK that enables the host application to detect and proactively protect itself by taking actions on the end user’s device, even without network connectivity. The SDK leverages z9, Zimperium’s patented machine learning-based threat detection engine. The on-device actions are configured within the application. They can be updated in real-time without publishing a new version making it practical and scalable across large install bases. zDefend’s mobile RASP capabilities allow continuous monitoring, protection, and effective threat modeling within the mobile DevSecOps life cycle.

-Advanced machine learning-based behavior detections
-Restrict access & disable features when risk is unacceptable
-Update in-app protection policies in real time
-SDK optimized for size and performance
-Minimal app permissions to preserve privacy
-No PII data taken off the device

Zimperium Mobile Threat Defense (MTD)

Zimperium Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) – formerly known as zIPS- is a privacy-first mobile security solution that provides comprehensive mobile security for organizations. Zimperium protects an employee’s corporate-owned or BYOD from advanced persistent threats without sacrificing privacy or personal data. Zimperium MTD can help organizations identify which mobile devices have risky or banned apps by pinpointing what servers these apps are connecting to and blocking these apps and browsers from sending data off the device to the domains to which the app connects. By leveraging zero-touch activation, Zimperium MTD can automatically enforce conditional access controls as part of a zero-trust strategy, which prevents the use of enterprise apps and access to sensitive corporate data while these banned apps are installed.
