Zimperium is a mobile security company founded in 2010 that develops AI-driven, on-device protection for enterprise mobile apps and devices. Its work concentrates on detecting mobile threats - including phishing (mishing), malware, application vulnerabilities and zero-day exploits - using machine-learning models that run locally on the device, without dependence on cloud-based detection or update cycles. Technical domains span mobile threat defense, mobile malware and phishing detection, application vulnerability detection, zero-day exploit detection and mobile application protection.
Two product lines anchor the company's offering. Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) is an enterprise platform providing real-time, autonomous on-device protection for employee mobile devices against phishing, malware and zero-day exploits. The Mobile Application Protection Suite (MAPS) protects the mobile applications themselves, addressing application vulnerabilities and evolving mobile threats in real time.
Research is a distinct function at the firm: zLabs, its mobile security research team, works on mobile endpoint protection and publishes findings that inform industry practice. Zimperium was acquired by Liberty Strategic Capital in 2022 in a transaction valued at approximately $525m. The company operates globally, serving enterprise and government customers, and maintains strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Trellix and SentinelOne.
