Compare Webroot Mobile Security vs. zDefend

The threat landscape for mobile malware on Android™ devices is expanding at an alarming rate. Annually, millions of applications are flagged by Webroot as either suspicious or harmful, highlighting the increasing risks associated with mobile technology. Additionally, attacks targeting iOS devices are also on the rise. As more consumers engage in shopping, banking, and web surfing on their smartphones, cybercriminals are increasingly focused on exploiting these platforms. Consequently, safeguarding these devices has never been more crucial. By employing secure mobile web browsing solutions, users can identify harmful websites and defend against phishing scams and other social engineering tactics designed to capture personal information in real-time. Android antivirus software provides seamless protection, routinely scanning and assessing all apps and updates for potential threats without causing any disruptions. For iPhone® users, there is an effective internet security solution that is user-friendly and does not hinder browsing performance. This security system effectively blocks harmful websites that aim to collect personal data while using either Webroot or Safari® browsers, ensuring a safer online experience. With the support of machine learning and artificial intelligence, backed by two decades of historical data, users can enjoy worry-free browsing. This comprehensive approach to mobile security is essential in a world where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and pervasive.

Zimperium’s zDefend enables mobile apps to detect and protect themselves proactively against runtime threats and attacks. With this runtime protection capability, mobile apps can assess device risk posture in real-time and dynamically prevent access or disable high-risk functionality to minimize fraud and theft attempts on end-user devices proactively. The security policy and associated mitigations reside in-app allowing the actions can be taken even in the absence of any network connectivity, making the protections extremely difficult to circumvent. The ability to detect threats and attacks on-device across the install base provides Security Operations (SOC) teams with real-time threat telemetry. Detailed threat forensics help isolate and automate downstream mitigation activities across other enterprise. In-app security policies are set and managed centrally via the console but are communicated in real-time to the entire install base without needing to publish a new version. This practical and scalable approach allows Enterprises to react promptly to new threats and vulnerabilities discovered. Zimperium’s unique approach to runtime defense also protects against advanced on-device compromise and exploitation techniques.
