MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ZingBox, leading a new generation of IoT security solutions focused on IoT service protection, today announced it has entered a strategic partnership with SoftBank C&S to expand the company's global presence. SoftBank C&S will serve as a global channel partner introducing the ZingBox IoT Guardian solution to the Japanese market and beyond.

"It is the purpose-built IoT security solution we see on the market that is industry agnostic and is effective in healthcare, manufacturing, office/building automation, and other industries."
In recognition of ZingBox's tremendous growth, the company was included in Gartner's 2017 Cool Vendors in IoT Security report.
"ZingBox is the industry's first and only IoT security solution provider to leverage the individual personalities of IoT devices to provide accurate visibility and protection of an organization's IoT assets," said May Wang, CTO and Co-Founder of ZingBox. "We believe our selection as a Gartner 'Cool Vendor' validates our vision to protect organizations from both insider threats as well as external cyber-attacks across a wide range of verticals."
IoT Guardian, ZingBox's SaaS-based security solution, leverages machine learning to discover, assess risk, baseline normal behavior, detect anomalous activities and provide real-time remediation across an organization's entire IoT footprint. The patent-pending solution has a deep grasp of each IoT device's personality, analyzing communication to and from every device, watching constantly for deviations in behavior and providing alerts for suspicious behavior.
To support these efforts, ZingBox has appointed John Yun as head of marketing. Mr. Yun brings more than 20 years of marketing experience and success in network security, SaaS and telecommunication for world-renowned companies including Oracle, Blue Coat Systems and Juniper Networks. In his role as head of marketing, Mr. Yun will be responsible for leading worldwide marketing strategies and initiatives as the company continues to expand as a global leader in IoT security.
