Zimperium Overview
Zimperium provides a complete security system that runs continuously on devices to provide visibility, security, and management for iOS and Android systems. With Zimperiums nonintrusive approach, users can be confident that their data and privacy are protected at all times, both on and off the corporate network. The z9 engine monitors the entire device for malicious behavior regardless of malwares entry point and without reliance on signatures. This approach is immune to evasion techniques such as polymorphic engines, virtual machine awareness, download-and-execute payload, or binary obfuscation, and allows Zimperium to find and protect against both known and unknown threats. The Zimperium In-App Protection (zIAP) SDK ensures that mobile applications remain safe from cyberattacks by providing immediate device risk assessments and threat alerts, enabling organizations to minimize exposure of their sensitive data and prevent their customers and partners data from being jeopardized by malicious and fraudulent activity.
