Organizations today face an undeniable truth: mobile devices are the modern gateway to the enterprise. As hybrid work continues and BYOD becomes pervasive, the traditional perimeter has all but disappeared. Mobile devices are now a primary target in the cyber attack chain — often exploited first through unpatched vulnerabilities, insecure wifi connections, or Mishing (mobile-targeted phishing). Businesses need a more intelligent way to assess risk and control access, especially on unmanaged or lightly managed endpoints.
To support this need, Zimperium integrated Device Trust from Android Enterprise — a capability that enables real-time visibility into the trust status of Android work devices. As a part of the Android Management API, Device Trust from Android Enterprise expands upon Zimperium’s existing API integrations with Android and allows us to rapidly adopt and deploy the power of new device trust signals as they become available in the SDK. This empowers organizations to verify a device’s security posture before granting access to enterprise resources, whether the device is managed or not.
By integrating device trust signals into Zimperium’s Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) platform, organizations can apply zero trust principles across both company-owned and BYOD Android devices — with flexible, adaptive protection and without interrupting productivity.
Cybercriminals are increasingly embracing a mobile-first attack strategy, exploiting mobile-specific gaps to gain access to corporate credentials and data. These tactics are not simply an extension of desktop threats; they’re designed to bypass traditional defenses and take advantage of insufficient mobile protections — particularly on BYOD endpoints.
With Device Trust from Android Enterprise, Zimperium helps organizations monitor and evaluate key trust signals — such as OS version, patch level, screen lock status, pending updates, and network conditions. When combined with our on-device MTD capabilities, these signals provide a deeper understanding of mobile risk and enable intelligent, risk-based access decisions.
Delivers Secure BYOD Without EMM Enrollment - Zimperium enables businesses to confidently support BYOD programs by validating device trust on personal Android devices — even when they are not enrolled with an EMM solution. Employees simply install Zimperium’s MTD app, allowing organizations to receive consistent security insights and enforce policy without compromising user privacy.
Flexible Coverage for All Android Work Devices- Whether an Android device is managed through an EMM with Work Profile or unmanaged with Zimperium’s MTD app installed, administrators can receive consistent, real-time trust signals to help protect corporate data — including for contractors, frontline workers, and remote teams.
Layered Mobile Security Across the Enterprise - Zimperium’s integration with the Device Trust from Android Enterprise ensures device trust data can be extended across your broader security stack — from SIEM platforms to identity providers — enabling stronger access policies and faster response to mobile threats.
Accelerated Threat Response and Risk Mitigation - Real-time access to device trust signals empowers IT teams to act immediately when a device becomes risky. Whether initiating a forensics investigation or enforcing a policy change, Zimperium gives enterprises the tools to proactively manage threats before they escalate.
Trust the Device. Protect the Data.
In today’s mobile-first world, trust can’t be assumed — it must be verified. Zimperium’s integration with Device Trust from Android Enterprise brings together real-time visibility, on-device protection, and flexible coverage across all Android work devices. Together, we’re helping businesses adapt to evolving mobile threats while enabling productivity, increasing privacy, and improving control.
