Zimperium is a mobile security company founded in 2010 and headquartered globally, with a focus on protecting enterprise mobile devices and applications against phishing, malware, and zero-day exploits. In 2022, the company was acquired by Liberty Strategic Capital for approximately $525 million. Its strategic partners include Microsoft, Trellix, and SentinelOne, and its customers span leading enterprises and government agencies worldwide.
The company's two principal products are Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) and the Mobile Application Protection Suite (MAPS). Both are built around AI-driven, on-device detection and response - meaning protection operates directly on the device rather than relying on cloud-based analysis or signature updates. MTD addresses device-level threats including mobile-targeted phishing (mishing), malware, and zero-day exploits; MAPS extends similar protections to the mobile applications enterprises deploy to run their operations.
Zimperium operates an internal research unit, zLabs, which focuses on mobile threat intelligence and security research. The company positions its platform as purpose-built for enterprise environments, distinguishing its approach from broader endpoint security offerings that treat mobile as a secondary concern. Technical work at Zimperium spans mobile threat defense, application vulnerability protection, AI-driven detection systems, and mobile endpoint security research.
