Zimperium has initiated an Information Security Registered Assessors Programme (IRAP) assessment of its Mobile Threat Defence (MTD) solution in a sovereign Australian data centre.
This enables agencies and critical infrastructure organisations to adopt mobile threat defence capabilities seamlessly, to detect mobile breaches and protect data.
IRAP assessors assist businesses working for the Australian government by assessing their cybersecurity posture, identifying risks and suggesting mitigation measures.
Zimperium’s investment in the Australian sovereign cybersecurity industry, which directly supports the Australian government’s cybersecurity initiatives, is paired with its decision to employ local Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) cleared specialists, invest with a sovereign cloud provider, engage PCG Cyber for IRAP security services, and leverage a Canberra-based operator.
Zimperium has been providing mobile threat defence capabilities for many years to multiple, high-profile Australian government departments at both federal and state levels. The significance of this announcement is the availability of a sovereign hosted MTD service, negating the need to build, maintain and manage silos of infrastructure at the individual agency level.
“The launch of sovereign hosted MTD is a game changer, facilitating significant cost savings, and rapid adoption and time to value for our government customers. Zimperium has also played a significant role in protecting other governments for a number of years, including the US Department of Defence, where we have secured the mobile devices used by armed forces to prevent incursion by hostile state actors. We can now do the same for the Australian government and infrastructure organisations,” said Shridhar Mittal, CEO of Zimperium.
Zimperium MTD closes the visibility gap on mobile, providing advanced detection capabilities beyond mobile device management (MDM) to identify and prevent mobile cyberattacks. The solution enables organisations to understand vulnerabilities and risk exposure better, while detecting advanced on-device exploits, phishing and mobile malware in apps and network-based attacks in a mobile-centric world.
