Cybereason Announces the Availability of Cybereason Mobile Threat Defense in Response to Increases in Sophisticated Mobile Device Attacks

LA JOLLA, Calif., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cybereason, the leader in future-ready attack protection, today announced the availability of Cybereason Mobile Threat Defense, Powered by Zimperium.

With the explosive growth in mobile devices and apps comes an ever-evolving attack surface. Research shows 60% of endpoints accessing enterprise assets are through mobile devices, so threats to the attack surface aren't slowing down. As we see a continued growth towards mobile-powered business, sophisticated security risks are increasing, including spyware, phishing, and ransomware.

Current research 'Global Mobile Threat Report 2023, Zimperium' found an 187% year-over-year increase in the number of devices detected as compromised that were fully exploited, not jailbroken or rooted. Organizations must increase mobile security measures to reduce the attack surface and improve visibility whilst protecting sensitive organizational data and the data security of employees.
