Overall, one can easily observe that, there is a new category of mobile app security products emerging from the grown up to enhance security on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
These products provide real-time monitoring of threats across
a range of factors in mobile environments, including inspection for known
malicious code and apps, potential attacks on mobile devices themselves, and
awareness of potentially dangerous network connections.
‘’Cloud-connectivity either as a
delivery mechanism for detection capabilities, or as a back-end analytics and
threat analysis engine are critical
components to these offerings," said Phil Hochmuth, program director, Enterprise Mobility.
According to IDC Innovators: Cloud-enabled Mobile Security Products 2016, Skycure, Ziperium
and Wandera are among top innovators.
Skycure focuses on threats to mobile devices at the OS
and app layer, as well as protecting devices in public Wi-Fi hotspots.
Wandera addresses the challenges of supporting a vast and
diverse mobile workforce that increasingly requires constant access to key
corporate applications and data.
Ziperium provides a suite of mobile endpoint protection
capabilities, but its flagship zIPS, an on-device mobile intrusion prevention
system relies solely on behavior anomaly detection.
