Gartner describes endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions as “Solutions that record and store endpoint-system-level behaviors, use various data analytics techniques to detect suspicious system behavior, provide contextual information, block malicious activity, and provide remediation suggestions to restore affected systems.”
Today’s EDR solutions are lacking something. Something major. They are lacking protection for 60% of the endpoints accessing corporate resources: mobile endpoints.
For any enterprise or government agency looking to have EDR for all endpoints, Zimperium, the clear leader in mobile EDR, is the missing ingredient for complete coverage of all endpoints.
How Hackers Are Attacking Mobile Endpoints
- Device: Attackers’ primary goal on mobile is to fully compromise a device to be persistent and weaponize it for “land and expand” lateral movements
- Network: Attackers use rogue access points (RAPs) and man-in-the-middle (MITMs) to steal data and also to deliver targeted exploits to compromise the device
- Phishing: Mobile phishing, especially via text/messaging apps and personal email, is a highly-effective way to steal credentials and deliver targeted exploits
- Apps: Malicious apps can create fraud, steal information and also deliver device exploits
Why EPP/EDR Solutions Cannot Protect Mobile Endpoints
- Blind and ineffective due to locked down kernels in mobile OS’s
- Have no ability to detect risky or malicious networks
- Disabled cloud-based detection by network attackers and has privacy issues
- Cannot assess privacy and security risks in legitimate (non-malicious) mobile apps
Mobile Endpoints Require A New Security Approach: Mobile EDR
- Unknown, “zero-day” attacks that require on-device machine learning-based detection
- Detects known and unknown (targeted) device, network, phishing, and malicious app risks and attacks
- On-device detection provides security when an attacker owns the network and protects user privacy
- Assesses privacy and security risks in legitimate mobile apps
- Holistic incident response requires deep forensics with rich context
Zimperium Is The Global Mobile EDR Leader
- The absolute leader in Financial Services, Public Sector, Automotive, Healthcare/Pharma, and others
- Demonstrated success in large scale implementations (e.g., U.S. Department of Defense)
- Proven, unmatched ability to detect known and unknown attacks across all threat vectors (device, network, phishing, and malicious apps)
- The only solution with on-device, privacy-protecting detection
- Best ability to assesses privacy and security risks in legitimate mobile apps
- Unrivaled enterprise capabilities (e.g., multi-UEM, managed from any cloud or on-prem, threat intelligence integrations
