(MENAFN Editorial)
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --Zimperium, the industry leader in enterprise mobile threat defense (MTD) and the only provider of real-time on-device protection against known and unknown threats, today introduced two new advanced features for its next generation on-device detection solution, zIPS™. The new features provide mobile device users with valuable risk information related to the Wi-Fi networks around a device, as well as comprehensive threat data on the devices, networks and applications.
Zimperium's zIPS solution already provides enterprise-grade comprehensive protection for iOS and Android devices, using machine learning engines to detect abnormalities.

With Danger Zone™, users have real-time information on nearby Wi-Fi networks and their potential risk via a map view. Users can determine which networks they should avoid. If a user does connect to a potential high-risk network, an alert and a recommendation to disconnect from the network will be sent. If a subsequent network attack is detected, the threat detection information and risk profile is then provided to other Zimperium users advising of a new Wi-Fi risk.
With Activity Monitor™, real-time informationis provided so users can trackscans and security checks performed on their devices, the networks they attach to and the applications on the device.
These new features can prevent a hacker from even having the opportunity to weaponize a device as users become more diligent with respect to this most-attacked surface, the Wi-Fi networks.
Quotes
"Despite traditional threat intelligence reports that mischaracterize mobile security as just a malware problem, about 65% of all mobile threats our customers receive are network in nature, most of them on a Wi-Fi connection,"said John Michelsen, chief product officer at Zimperium. "Not only does zIPS secure iOS and Android devices in real time while preserving a user's experience and privacy, it goes a step further now to inform the user of dangerous Wi-Fi networks. Corporate data traffic is increasingly flowing directly from mobile to the cloud, bypassing any enterprise security completely."
Visit Zimperium at the RSA Conference 2017 in San Francisco, February 13-17th, Booth #N4710 to demo these new features and the zIPS app or request a meeting.
