Zero Trust goes beyond the identity approach which focuses on only authenticating the user. It has emerged as the most reliable way for companies to keep away cyberthreats evolving within their distant and immediate environment.   Today, mobility is the fastest growing attack surface. Cybercriminals target enterprises through their collaborators' mobile, betting on finding loopholes they’ll exploit to steal corporate data. Hence, security heads are turning to Zero Trust mobile security strategy. In the context of mobility, implementing a Zero Trust strategy comes with challenges. The first key to success is to encompass all entry points without exception. The second one is to have the capacity to accurately distinguish threats from legitimate requests, quickly and automatically.   ## Zero Trust mobile security encompasses the whole mobile framework A company’s information system is largely accessed by collaborators (employee, partner, freelancer…) using personally-owned mobile devices, often **unmanaged**. Those access are performed through mobile applications, developed internally or by third parties. Altogether, these devices and apps represent millions of entry points to corporate sensitive information. To enforce [mobile data privacy](https://www.pradeo.com/en-US/datasheet/white-paper-mobile-data-privacy) through a Zero Trust approach, organizations have to measure the range of their mobile ecosystem and to make sure no access is passing through unchecked.   The Pradeo Security suite offers services to protect the mobile ecosystem from end to end, with solutions to: - Control mobile devices integrity and condition access accordingly: [Mobile Threat Defense](https://www.pradeo.com/en-US/mobile-threat-protection) - Ensure mobile applications’ are free of unwanted behaviors and vulnerabilities: [Mobile Application Security Testing](https://www.pradeo.com/en-US/application-security-testing) - Protect mobile applications’ data and transactions while running on non-managed devices: [In-App Protection](https://www.pradeo.com/en-US/in-app-protection) (and secure app store coming soon)   ## Ensuring operability by avoiding false positive and setback Enforcing security checks along every access request while maintaining a reasonable timing and keeping users’ agility is impossible without the right tools. To achieve it, organizations need to rely on an [accurate threat detection](https://blog.pradeo.com/pradeo-unique-mobile-threat-detection-intelligence) such as one performed through multilevel behavioral analysis. The goal here is to precisely understand what or who triggers access request and in what context to, in fine, correctly deny illegitimate requests and grant valid ones. Besides, to prevent any inconvenient latency that could downgrade the user experience, conditional access has to be automatized and performed in real-time.   The Pradeo Security technology is composed of an [AI-based behavioral analysis engine](https://www.pradeo.com/en-US/pradeo-security) that works together with a machine learning structure. This unique mechanism enables a quick and accurate identification of all threats operating on mobile devices, in real-time and on a large scale.   **To discuss your Zero Trust mobile security strategy,** [**contact us**](https://www.pradeo.com/en-US/contact-us)**.**   --- ###### About The Author [More from this author](https://blog.pradeo.com/author/roxane-suau) ![](https://blog.pradeo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/roxane-suau.jpg?height=100&name=roxane-suau.jpg) ###### Roxane Suau #### Recommended articles [![Smartphones: massive data leaks… that are perfectly legal](https://blog.pradeo.com/hubfs/Template%20article%20(14)-1.png)](https://blog.pradeo.com/smartphones-massive-data-leaks-that-are-perfectly-legal) ###### [Smartphones: massive data leaks… that are perfectly legal](https://blog.pradeo.com/smartphones-massive-data-leaks-that-are-perfectly-legal) \- December 18, 2025 [![Mobile threats: what the new ANSSI report reveals](https://blog.pradeo.com/hubfs/Template%20article%20(11)-1.png)](https://blog.pradeo.com/mobile-threats-what-the-new-anssi-report-reveals) ###### [Mobile threats: what the new ANSSI report reveals](https://blog.pradeo.com/mobile-threats-what-the-new-anssi-report-reveals) \- December 4, 2025 [![Techstep chooses Pradeo to provide next-level Mobile Threat Defense to its users](https://blog.pradeo.com/hubfs/Template%20article%20(13).png)](https://blog.pradeo.com/techstep-chooses-pradeo-to-provide-next-level-mobile-threat-defense-to-its-users) ###### [Techstep chooses Pradeo to provide next-level Mobile Threat Defense to its users](https://blog.pradeo.com/techstep-chooses-pradeo-to-provide-next-level-mobile-threat-defense-to-its-users) \- November 20, 2025 #### Recommended articles ### Popular articles ### Stay up to date ### Recent articles ### Articles récents [Fence integrates Pradeo's technology to secure its clients' mobile fleets](https://blog.pradeo.com/fence-integrates-pradeos-technology-to-secure-its-clients-mobile-fleets-1) \- 16 March, 2020 [RedHook: the banking trojan that grants itself system-level access on Android](https://blog.pradeo.com/redhook-the-banking-trojan-that-grants-itself-system-level-access-on-android) \- 16 March, 2020 [What Google's latest report reveals about mobile threats](https://blog.pradeo.com/what-googles-latest-report-reveals-about-mobile-threats) \- 16 March, 2020 [Android: The 4th zero-day vulnerability patched in six months](https://blog.pradeo.com/android-the-4th-zero-day-vulnerability-patched-in-six-months-1) \- 16 March, 2020 [Vibe Coding: when AI-generated code multiplies vulnerabilities](https://blog.pradeo.com/vibe-coding-when-ai-generated-code-multiplies-vulnerabilities) \- 16 March, 2020 ### Topics - [Mobile Security (56)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/mobile-security) - [Mobile Application Security (46)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/mobile-application-security) - [Expertise (31)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/expertise) - [Security Alert (30)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/security-alert) - [Cybersecurity (29)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/cybersecurity) - [News (28)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/news) - [Partners (25)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/partners) - [Corporate (12)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/corporate) - [Events (4)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/events) - [Actualité (2)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/actualité) - [predictions (2)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/predictions) - [cyberattack (1)](https://blog.pradeo.com/topic/cyberattack) see all [![New Call-to-action](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/2378615/ad3111b0-9454-41ff-91f4-9eee95b1f08f.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/2378615/ad3111b0-9454-41ff-91f4-9eee95b1f08f) ### Get in touch with mobile security experts [Contact us](https://www.pradeo.com/en-US/contact-us) [![](https://blog.pradeo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pradeo_logo_white_square.png?width=90&height=74&name=pradeo_logo_white_square.png)](https://pradeo.com) European leader in mobile security, Pradeo protects business mobile devices and applications.
