Lookout's cloud security platform for all mobile endpoints brings together endpoint security and cloud security, reducing risk and enabling a unified response to application and data threats.
Lookout has announced the addition of new capabilities and features to its Cloud Security Platform. The result is currently the only solution in the industry for endpoint to cloud security. The cloud-native platform includes a unified policy framework for managing and enforcing policies across mobile, cloud, web, and proprietary applications. Platform innovations also include a unified agent and control plane for mobile and cloud security services, providing IT and security leaders with cost-effective, simplified management capabilities.
Security for hybrid workforces
According to a recent Gartner survey, 60 percent of knowledge workers work remotely. A report published by Zippia also shows that 75 percent of employees use their personal cell phones for work. As organizations continue to enable their employees to work remotely, either 100 percent or in a hybrid model, the use of mobile devices to access corporate applications, regardless of user or location, is increasing. Employees working outside of traditional data center boundaries, accessing applications in the cloud and using devices not managed by corporate IT, increase the need for a security solution designed for a flexible workforce that “tracks” corporate data and protects wherever you are or are.

Lookout's Cloud Security Platform brings together Security Service Edge (SSE) and Endpoint Security to protect users and data wherever they are. It continuously monitors the risk posture of users and devices to enable dynamic and granular zero-trust access based on the specific situation of applications and data: In this way, companies can protect their employees, their devices, applications and data from unauthorized access and protect against modern Internet-based threats. The expanded platform provides customers with the ability to use threat intelligence from mobile endpoints to make better-informed decisions for cloud security services.
Mobile security services on one platform
Based on the company's patented technologies, Lookout's Cloud Security Platform brings together the following security services:
- Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security Enables a secured way of working from mobile devices - personal, managed and unmanaged iOS, Android and Chromebook devices. It reduces the risk of attacks by protecting against socially engineered phishing campaigns, malicious and third-party applications, risky network connections and total device compromise.
- Lookout Secure Private Access is a cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution based on the Zero Trust principle that provides seamless access to private enterprise applications, regardless of where the user or application is located. Unlike a VPN (Virtual Private Network), Lookout's Secure Private Access connects users to the applications and not to the network - a core principle of a Zero Trust architecture.
- Lookout Secure Internet Access is a cloud-delivered Secure Web Gateway (SWG) with a Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) built on Zero Trust principles to protect users, underlying networks and corporate data from Internet-based threats and prevent data leakage .
- Lookout Secure Cloud Access, the company's Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solution, provides seamless security for all cloud and SaaS applications with unified policies, trusted data security, and benchmarked standardized compliance. It offers complete transparency and control.
About Lookout Lookout co-founders John Hering, Kevin Mahaffey, and James Burgess came together in 2007 with the goal of protecting people from the security and privacy risks posed by an increasingly connected world. Even before smartphones were in everyone's pocket, they realized that mobility would have a profound impact on the way we work and live.
