Overview

Mobile devices have become one of the most targeted attack surfaces. Zimperium’s Global Mobile Threat Report 2023 revealed a 187% year-over-year increase in the number of compromised mobile devices.

The Zimperium Mobile-First Security Platform™ unifies Zimperium Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) and Mobile Application Protection Suite (MAPS), unleashing powerful new features designed for teams who bear security responsibility across the entire mobile security spectrum. Through a ‘single pane of glass’, customers have centralized access to and management of both Zimperium’s mobile application security and endpoint security solutions, providing them full mobile coverage to dynamically adapt to emerging threats.

Its endpoint protection solution, Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) is an advanced on-device mobile threat defense solution built to protect any mobile device, including those owned and managed by an organization, and the increasing number of employee-owned devices used for business purposes. It is specifically designed to protect iOS, Android and ChromeOS devices from advanced persistent threats across four categories: device, network, phishing, and app attacks including when the device is offline. Zimperium MTD also provides Vulnerability and Risk Management and Mobile Application Vetting reducing future attacks by providing organizations with continuous risk posture and proactive protection.

In March 2024, Zimperium announced enhancements to its platform, helping companies better withstand cyber threats while continuously improving their mobile security posture:

Deep Scan Forensic Analysis – Allows users to perform in-depth forensic analysis directly on iOS and Android devices, offering comprehensive insights into device forensics, including low-level system details like file system configurations, active processes, and suspicious apps.

Secure PDF Scan – Employs On-Device Dynamic Detection to identify malicious PDF files, including those harboring malware or phishing links, without requiring sensitive information to be sent to the cloud for verification.

Secure iOS Shortcuts – Designed to enhance the security of mobile devices against potential threats from iOS shortcuts. With

How we are different

While other solutions in the market were built for securing consumer devices and adapted for the enterprise, Zimperium was built from the ground up with enterprise-grade security and management features.


By operating on-device, Zimperium’s Dynamic On-Device Detection Engine powers the only solution capable of detecting threats across the kill chain from device, to network, phishing, and app attacks in real-time. Zimperium’s Dynamic Detection Engine has detected 100% of zero-day mobile exploits in the wild without requiring an update or suffering from the delays and limitations of cloud-based detection—something no other mobile security provider can claim. Because of this, Zimperium MTD is the only product that can detect threats when an attacker owns the network or Wi-Fi.


In an AV-Test, Zimperium MTD delivered top tier results – better than 99% accuracy in about all scenarios – in terms of prevalent malware sample tests, MTD delivered better than 99% detection rate in both online (99.63% and offline (99.20%) modes. In addition, Zimperium’s MTD is the only pure-play mobile threat defense provider recognized in 2022’s Giga-Om Anti-Phishing Radar Report.


Additionally, Zimperium’s recent platform addition of Deep Scan Forensic Analysis provides greater insights into certain events, analyzing additional device logs to investigate further into a malware event. This allows for details of an event to be linked together and give a better understanding of what happened leading to device compromise. This new offering furthers Zimperium’s leading differentiating capabilities in the MTD market.


Zimperium protects more than five billion mobile sessions per year and its enterprise deployments are highly scalable and deployable on any cloud platform. Companies including the U.S. Department of Defense, JP Morgan Chase, TikTok, HSBC, Danaher, and Medtronic are now relying on Zimperium to protect their customers, and themselves.
