zDefend vs. Ivanti Neurons for Mobile Threat Defense

Zimperium's zDefend equips mobile applications with the capability to autonomously identify and safeguard themselves against runtime vulnerabilities and attacks. This feature allows mobile apps to evaluate the security status of devices in real-time, enabling them to proactively block access or deactivate risky functions to reduce fraud and theft attempts targeting end-user devices. The security measures and necessary responses are embedded within the app, meaning they can be executed even without network access, thus making these defenses particularly challenging to bypass. Moreover, the on-device threat detection capability across the entire user base provides Security Operations (SOC) teams with immediate threat intelligence. Comprehensive threat analysis aids in pinpointing issues and automating subsequent mitigation steps across various enterprise systems. Security policies within the app are managed centrally through a console, yet they can be updated in real-time for all users without the need for a new app version release. This efficient and scalable method empowers enterprises to swiftly address emerging threats and vulnerabilities as they arise. Zimperium's innovative strategy for runtime defense also offers protection against sophisticated techniques for on-device breaches and exploitations, ensuring a robust security framework for mobile applications.
