US cyber security firm says it can protect phones against Pegasus 

A US company, Zimperium, claims that it can protect organisations and individuals from Pegasus, although it is not clear if it claims to offer protection against the previous exploits of Pegasus or the new zero-day attacks.  

At the International Police Expo held in the national capital last week, one booth stood out among the national and international companies showcasing the latest innovations in cyber security and intelligence technology. The technology neither offered a surveillance solution nor a tactical weapon and yet managed to draw eyeballs of who's who of India's internal security and law enforcement apparatus. It was a mobile device protection technology that claims to have protected "every variant of the Pegasus attack" in the last five years. Zimperium, a US-based technology firm that specialises in mobile phone security, has recently secured a contract with the United States Department of Defence (DOD) to deliver comprehensive Mobile Endpoint Protection (MEP) solution. Zimperium's regional sales director Somesh Sawhney, who had flown all the way from Dubai for the event, told India Today that there was a lot of interest in the technology from the government as well as the enterprise sectors in India after the recent Pegasus episode came to light.
