Mobile devices are an integral piece of today’s modern organizations and our daily digital lives. As these devices continue to proliferate across users and enterprises, our endpoint attack surface is consequently getting larger, presenting a sprawl that security teams are scrambling to cover and protect. According to Zimperium’s 2023 Global Mobile Threat Report, 80% of phishing attacks targeted mobile devices, or were designed to function on both mobile devices and desktops. Zimperium is committed to securing mobile devices and ensuring that mobile-powered businesses can operate safely and securely. So, to address this growing risk, the company is excited to announce it is a founding integration partner of Okta’s Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI, delivering real-time identity threat protection and enhancing the security of joint customers.
Zimperium MTD + Okta – Securing Mobile Devices Against Identity-Based Threats
Zimperium’s industry leading Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) integrates real-time, run-time threat intelligence and rich threat context into the Okta Identity Threat Protection platform, supporting continuous risk analysis when implemented into the platform. As a leader in protecting against mobile threats, Zimperium MTD was designed to cover the full breadth of the mobile attack surface, including device, network, application, Web and phishing. By integrating with Okta’s t Identity Threat Protection platform, Zimperium MTD detects and shares threats through Zimperium Mobile-First Security Platform, which then streamlines these signals to Okta, where the identity leader’s policies are then enforced.
We are very excited to be one of the initial integration vendors providing mobile threat defense intelligence. Mobile threat intelligence is a core functionality of a robust security strategy. By sharing signals with Okta’s joint customers, we are providing continuous risk posture data to enforce strong identity and access controls. This is what Zimperium MTD was designed to do from its birth – to interoperate seamlessly with third party vendors, such as the Okta Identity Threat Protection platform, which is representing a shift in how Identity-based security is executed.
The risks we are seeing in today’s threat landscape – such as malware, phishing and other identity-based threats – exacerbates the need for constant scrutiny and attention even within a zero trust framework. Organizational devices and the environments in which they operate are constantly changing and require an active, run-time threat protection solution to always know the exact risk posture of the device. To enable this flexible ecosystem, Okta brought industry leading security partners like Zimperium into their Shared Signals pipeline to break down silos, reduce the costs of a best-of-breed approach, and strengthen collective Identity threat detection.
Securing Mobile-Powered Business
Zimperium was founded under the premise that the then current state of mobile security was insufficient to solve the growing mobile security problem. At the time, most mobile security was a port from traditional endpoint security technologies. Zimperium recognized mobile devices had unique characteristics needing a completely new approach. The team reimagined how to protect mobile devices and developed the award winning, patented z9 machine learning-based engine.
Zimperium MTD detects known and unknown threats by analyzing the behavior of a mobile device and can accurately identify mobile system deviations, applications that behave as malware, anomalous network traffic, and advanced phishing attacks.
