CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Enterprise and mid-market security teams with strict federal compliance requirements should pick Zimperium MTD for its FedRAMP authorization and on-device detection architecture that keeps sensitive mobile threat data off the cloud entirely. The hybrid deployment model and support for multiple UEM platforms in one console eliminates the common friction point of managing separate mobile security stacks across your endpoint infrastructure. Not the right fit if your organization needs thick forensics and incident reconstruction; Zimperium prioritizes continuous detection over post-incident analysis, so your SOC will see threats flagged faster than you'll be able to trace their origin.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams managing mixed device fleets (iOS, Android, managed, unmanaged, BYOD) need Lookout Mobile EDR because it catches credential theft and risky app behavior in real time while maintaining forensic data for incident investigation, covering the full arc from continuous monitoring through incident analysis. The platform integrates directly into SIEM and SOAR workflows, meaning SOC analysts can act on mobile threats without context switching. Skip this if your organization runs only corporate-owned devices with restrictive MDM policies; the value proposition assumes you're managing device diversity and need threat response automated, not just visibility.
