Company Continues to Lead the Enterprise Mobile Threat Defense Market with Expansive Customer Growth, New Phishing Solutions and Partnerships with Google, Microsoft, VMware and Others
Zimperium, the global leader in enterprise mobile threat defense (MTD), finished 2019 with triple digit growth in new customer acquisitions, innovative product enhancements, compelling strategic partnerships and alliances, and many industry accolades.
Mobile security continues to be a focus of many enterprise organizations as almost 60 percent of the total endpoints in an organization are mobile and, despite the ongoing and targeted attacks, are often unprotected. The lack of protection for and visibility into these endpoints introduces significant risk and compliance concerns that show no sign of slowing down. According to Zimperium’s State of Enterprise Mobile Security Report, 2019:
- Mobile OS vendors created patches for 1,161 security vulnerabilities in 2019;
- At the end of 2019, 48 percent of iOS devices were more than four versions behind the latest OS version and 58 percent of Android devices were more than two versions behind;
- 85 percent of iOS apps and 21 percent of Android apps failed to receive a passing privacy grade; and
- 71 percent of iOS apps and 68 percent of Android apps failed to receive a passing security grade.
“We continue to see our company-wide focus on solving customer problems result in strong business performance and product innovation,” said Shridhar Mittal, our chief executive. “By listening to our customers and staying a step ahead of attackers with advanced threat research, we are able to deliver unparalleled solutions to stop attacks aimed at mobile devices and applications.”
