• Mobile attacks becomes more sophisticated and powerful and can cause a real damage to the corporation’s assets.
• Protecting mobile in BYOD world from various types of attack vectors requires:• Correlation of security events • Anomaly detection techniques • Mobile expert knowledge
• BYOD devices are fragmented to different versions of OS; A true solution must work on all common devices.
ZIMPERIUM’s z9 engine was developed from the ground up for mobile to combat the unique challenges of protecting iOS and Android devices in the organization. Contact us to request a demo
