What We Do
Zimperium provides the only mobile security platform purpose-built for enterprise environments. With machine learning-based protection and a single platform that secures everything from applications to endpoints, Zimperium's solution provides on-device mobile threat defense to protect growing and evolving mobile environments. Our solutions include zIPS which runs locally on any mobile device and detects cyberattacks without a connection to the cloud and our first-of-its-kind Mobile Application Protection Suite (MAPS), a comprehensive solution that helps organizations protect their mobile apps throughout their entire life cycle. Zimperium’s MAPS is comprised of four solutions that help enterprises to build secure and compliant mobile applications. It is the only unified solution that combines comprehensive in-app protection with centralized threat visibility. zScan: Helps your mobile app development organization to discover and fix compliance, privacy, and security issues within the development process before you publicly release your apps; zKeyBox: Protects your secrets and keys so they cannot be discovered, extracted, or manipulated. zShield: Protects the source code, intellectual property (IP), and data from potential attacks like reverse engineering and code tampering. zDefend: Is an SDK embedded in apps to help detect and defend against device, network, phishing, and malware attacks. Zimperium was the first MTD provider to be granted an Authority to Operate (ATO) status from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).
