JT Keating, Vice President of Product StrategyConventional IT approaches used for securing corporate networks, servers, applications, and company-owned computers don’t address the exposure of a growing, highly distributed mobile attack surface. Just one compromised device can induce a costly security breach in an organization. Enterprise mobility demands purpose-built security tools to fend off cyber attacks at the device level, over networks, via phishing attempts and through malicious applications.
Defining the enterprise mobile security market, Zimperium is leading the charge to protect both corporate-owned and bring-your-own devices (BYOD), and mobile apps. The Dallas, Texas-based company delivers an innovative and game-changing mobile threat defense platform to detect and prevent mobile threats and implement enterprise-grade security.
In this battle against cyberattacks, Zimperium’s strength and success lies in on-device based machine learning detection of targeted attacks, as well as its ability to seamlessly integrate with existing enterprise investments and processes.
Zimperium’s offerings are backed by years of research and development from zLabs—the world’s most qualified and talented collection of researchers focused 100 percent exclusively on mobile. Zimperium offers an integrated solution set, collectively known as the zPlatform, powered by its award-winning and patented ML-based engine—z9™.
The engine efficiently detects and classifies any zero-day attacks regardless of the entry point, and the previously unknown malware and malicious behaviour on Android and iOS devices. “To date, z9 has detected 100 percent of zero-day device exploits without requiring an update or suffering from the delays and limitations of cloud-based detection or legacy security architectures,” states Shridhar Mittal, CEO of Zimperium.
The zPlatform contains four core solutions—zIPS, Zimperium In-App Protection (zIAP), zConsole, and z3A—with enterprise-class capabilities to detect and identify mobile threats with minimal organizational friction. zIPS is the world’s first mobile intrusion prevention system app that delivers round-the-clock protection for mobile devices by analyzing even the slightest deviations in the OS statistics, memory, and CPU.
Unlike the cloud-based mobile security solutions that employ sandboxing or tunnel traffic, zIPS utilizes z9 to accurately identify and run forensics associated with the ‘who, what, where, when, and how’ of attacks. The zIAP SDK empowers enterprises with reliable device risk assessments and threat alerts to prevent sensitive customer/partner data from being jeopardized by malicious or fraudulent activities. The zConsole, Zimperium’s management, and reporting console, can be seamlessly integrated with the existing EMM and SIEM solutions for efficient policy administration and threat forensics. Finally, z3A (Advanced App Analysis) provides intelligent insight into mobile apps’ security and privacy risks, and enables enterprises to set security policies to reduce those risks.
One of Zimperium’s customers, a large global telco and information services company with an international presence spanning 20 countries, was managing their mobile devices via the VMware Workspace One MDM solution. The solution could enforce pin codes, remote lock/wipe for lost or stolen devices, and control access to corporate email. However, the client required protection for their managed devices against network, device, phishing and application attacks.
By seamlessly integrating zIPS with Workspace One and their Splunk SIEM, the client obtained comprehensive protection and continuous visibility into these advanced mobile threats. This eliminated any extra IT administrative burden on the client. “This global leader is deploying zIPS to 40,000 enterprise-devices, and includes it in a security-portfolio offering for its customers,” adds Mittal.
Zimperium is achieving record growth by protecting leading organizations across industries including public sector, healthcare, financial services, technology, energy, legal, pharmaceuticals, retail and telecommunications. Zimperium gives enterprises peace of mind, as it provides continuous, full visibility into the privacy and security risks via enterprise-grade forensics.

Zimperium launches Australia's first and only sovereign-hosted mobile threat defense (MTD) capability
CANBERRA, Australia, -- Zimperium, announced it has taken the next step in supporting the Australian government, by initiating an IRAP assessment of its Mobile Threat Defense™(MTD) solution in a sovereign Australian data centre—enabling agencies and critical infrastructure organizations to seamlessly adopt mobile threat defense capabilities to detect mobile breaches and protect data.
Zimperium's investment in the Australian sovereign cybersecurity industry, which directly supports the Australian government's cybersecurity initiatives, is paired with its decision to employ local AGSVA (Australian Government Security Vetting Agency) cleared specialists, invest with a sovereign cloud provider, engage PCG Cyber for IRAP security services, and leverage a Canberra-based operator.
Zimperium is not new to the market, having provided mobile threat defense capabilities for many years to multiple, high-profile government departments at both the federal and state level. The company is the first mobile threat defense (MTD) provider to be granted an Authority to Operate (ATO) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).
The significance of this announcement is the availability of a sovereign-hosted MTD service, negating the need to build, maintain, and manage silos of infrastructure at the individual agency level.
Shridhar Mittal, CEO for Zimperium, remarks "The launch of sovereign-hosted MTD is a game changer, facilitating significant cost savings, and rapid adoption and time to value for our government customers."
Mittal further stated, "Zimperium has also played a significant role in protecting other governments for a number of years, including the US Department of Defense, where we have secured the mobile devices used by armed forces to prevent incursion by hostile state actors. We can now do the same for the Australian government and infrastructure organizations."
Zimperium MTD closes the visibility gap on mobile, providing advanced detection capabilities beyond mobile device management (MDM) to identify and prevent mobile cyberattacks. Zimperium MTD enables organizations to better understand vulnerabilities and risk exposure while detecting advanced on-device exploits, phishing, mobile malware in apps and network-based attacks in a mobile-centric world.
IRAP provides a foundation for independently assessing a system's security against Australian government policies and guidelines. The assessment provides assurance of Zimperium's data security controls and procedures.
IRAP is an Australian Signals Directorate initiative that provides high-quality information and communications technology security assessment services to government and industry operating under the governance and administration of the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) and leverages the Information Security Manual (ISM) for specific guidance.
Powered by Zimperium's on-device dynamic detection engine, Zimperium MTD™ proactively:
• Analyzes an organization's fleet of devices for threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits
• Vets and scans iOS and Android mobile apps for security, privacy, and malware
• Assesses all networks to which personnel are connecting
• Filters out unwanted or unapproved content categories and blocks phishing attacks from any vector (e.g., SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger) – not just email
These capabilities allow for alignment to the Information Security Manual's (ISM) 40+ mobility security controls and for a structured risk-based approach to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) mobile compliance.
ISM | Cybersecurity Framework from Australia's Government
The Information Security Manual (ISM) represents the considered advice of the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) within the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD). The ISM's objective is to outline cybersecurity mitigation strategies and controls organizations can implement, in conjunction with their risk management framework, to protect their systems and data from cyber threats. Similar to the Essential Eight (E8) mitigation strategies for Windows-based devices, the ISM's Guidelines for Enterprise Mobility acknowledges mobile devices threats and recommends security controls.
Zimperium's current local Australian partners are all involved in the government space, and the IRAP protected status will further enhance the company's relationship with the government.
