SAN FRANCISCO, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimperium, the global leader in enterprise mobile security, will host a webinar titled, "Banking Information is at Risk of Theft on Mobile Devices" on April 11, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. Central Daylight Savings Time (CDT). Registration is open here.

Research shows that the number of global mobile banking users will reach 2 billion by 2020, exceeding the number of traditional online banking users. While today's smartphones and tablets provide basic security, millions of devices with financial information and/or access to networks with consumers' information make an appealing target for cyber thieves, creating challenges not fully addressed by traditional security methods. During this webinar, JT Keating, vice president of product strategy at Zimperium, will cover the following topics:

Why the rise in mobile banking has presented a number of unique challenges for financial institutions
How and why banking apps on mobile devices have become a primary target for attackers
Mobile security advice for the financial industry, including tips for mitigating potential risks

"Whether consumers are using a mobile application for banking, budget tracking, loan calculating, or spending and saving, their financial and personal information, including social security numbers, dates of birth as well as cardholder data, is at risk," said JT Keating, vice president of product strategy at Zimperium. "Zimperium offers financial services firms and their customers the most complete solution for automatically detecting, reporting and remediating today's -- and tomorrow's -- advanced mobile banking threats."
