Zimperium Teams Up With Okta to Enhance Zero-Trust Identity Threat Protection With AI-Driven Mobile Security Solutions

PRESS RELEASE

DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimperium, the global leader in mobile security, is proud to announce that it's collaborating with Okta, the leading independent identity provider to deliver a significant advancement in identity threat protection for mobile devices. By integrating Zimperium Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) with Okta Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI, the companies are setting a new standard in continuous risk monitoring and enabling automated threat response, providing organizations with unparalleled mobile security and on-device operational efficiency.

The sophistication and rapid evolution of modern mobile threats highlight the need for constant scrutiny and attention within a zero trust framework. Corporate devices and the environments in which they operate are constantly changing and require an active, run-time threat protection solution to always know the exact risk posture of the device. Zimperium's industry-leading Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) product, designed to assess the full breadth of the mobile attack surface, including device, network, application, and Web threats, integrates real-time threat intelligence and rich threat context into the Okta Identity Threat Protection platform. This integration helps detect threats by continuously assessing and sharing mobile devices' threat and risk posture to enable shared customers to take action in real-time when a threat is detected automatically.

Zimperium is one of the initial integration security event providers for Okta Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI. The integration provides real-time mobile threat and risk intelligence for managed and unmanaged devices—a core component of a zero trust architecture. By sharing continuous risk posture data with Okta, organizations have the necessary insights required to enforce strong identity and access controls and to configure the service to automatically respond to threats. This represents a modern and necessary requirement for a strong zero-trust architecture.

Identity Threat Protection for Mobile Devices

Through this powerful integration, Zimperium's industry-leading MTD solution integrates seamlessly with Okta's Identity Threat Protection platform to empower organizations with:

"Organizations need the ability to bring together risk insights at the point of login and re-evaluate at any point in a user's session," said Stephen Lee, Vice President, Technical Strategy and Partnerships. "Identity Threat Protection extends Okta's adaptive risk analysis and enables automatic remediation and response, helping businesses stop potential threats in real time. By integrating with Zimperium, we can extend our risk ingestion on an attack surface that Okta does not fully cover."

"As organizations adopt new technologies, effective on-device security is more crucial than ever," said Shridhar Mittal, CEO of Zimperium. "Our work with Okta enhances our ability to provide real-time protection against identity threats. Together, we empower enterprises to stay ahead of evolving threats and maintain robust security postures. We encourage current Okta customers to explore these new security enhancements and strengthen their mobile security strategies."

Okta Identity Threat Protection is built with Okta AI and powered by insights pulled from an organization's security stack. In real time, it detects and responds to identity threats, depending on a customer's service configuration, during and after authentication, amplifies security signal sharing across the ecosystem, and orchestrates remedying actions. The solution is now generally available for Workforce Identity Cloud customers worldwide.
