SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimperium, the leader in mobile threat defense, will present on the evolution of the mobile threat landscape next month at Mobile World Congress, to be held March 2-5, in Barcelona, Spain. The company, coming off of a record 2014, and a new partnership with Samsung, will showcase its enterprise-class protection for mobile devices in Booth 5C81, located in the Israel Export Institute.

Zimperium CEO, Shridhar Mittal, will also be participating in the panel, "GSMA Presents: Staying a Step Ahead of Mobile Security Threats." The panel, set for Tuesday, March 3, 2015 will take place in the AirWatch Connect Pavillion, Hall 3, Stand #3D10, where Zimperium will also be exhibiting. AirWatch® by VMware® now offers Zimperium Mobile Threat Defense through AirWatch Marketplace, giving enterprises a security solution that combats advanced targeted attacks on mobile devices.

In addition to presenting, Zimperium will give Mobile World Congress attendees the chance to see its new partnership with Samsung in action. Samsung is now offering Zimperium's Mobile Threat Defense (zMTD) solution on the KNOX 2.0™ Marketplace, enabling enterprises the ability to detect mobile devices against both known and unknown threats. Attendees can check out the technology firsthand in the Samsung Enterprise Showcase at Hall 8.1.

Zimperium is the first and only company to provide a complete mobile security system that continuously runs on the device to provide visibility, security and management for iOS and Android devices. The company recently announced the appointment of John Michelsen to the role of chief product officer to manage its development and product roadmap to continue its commitment to excellence for enterprise mobile users around the world. Michelsen was previously CTO at CA Technologies.

In addition to growing its team, the company has expanded not only its reach with sales operations in the US, EMEA and Japan, but also its threat intelligence feed, with the zNetwork Global Threat Intelligence surpassing the 100K mark.

"One of the most exciting things about Mobile World Congress is being witness to the innovation and evolution of mobile technology; however, with the introduction of new devices or technology comes an even greater opportunity for cybercriminals to exploit them for their own gain," said Mittal. "As mobile becomes even more engrained in our lives, and personal and professional information feeds are crossed, enterprises need to be prepared to secure each device so it is not a threat to overall corporate security."
