A specialist in endpoint and cloud security, today announced the availability of Mobile Endpoint Security for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) in the Mobile Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) space.
This solution enables MSSPs to offer a complete, turnkey program to identify risks, protect sensitive data, and secure their customers' mobile devices. With Lookout Mobile EDR, MSSPs can help organizations reduce the risk of data breaches from mobile phishing, ransomware, and device and app vulnerability exploits.
New normal
As organizations adapt to the “new normal” of remote working and continue to invest in mobile devices, many still struggle to keep up with mobile security. According to industry data, less than half of SMBs have some form of mobile security. As a result, mobile threats are increasing year by year. The latest Lookout report, Global State of Mobile Phishing, shows that 2022 will have the highest percentage of mobile phishing attacks of all time. Lookout also found that users across all devices, whether personal or work, are clicking more mobile phishing links than they were two years ago.
Mobile risk management
Lookout's Mobile EDR program for MSSPs enables them to address these mobile security challenges head-on. By partnering with Lookout, MSSPs have access to Lookout's cellular data set of security telemetry. This uses graph-based machine intelligence, analyzes data from more than 210 million devices and 175 million apps worldwide and records four million web URLs every day. In addition, Lookout's comprehensive Mobile EDR solution enables MSSPs to detect and block mobile phishing attempts and detect unauthorized camera and microphone access by surveillanceware. The solution is also able to detect and prevent credential theft and data exfiltration. Additional functionality enables devices to be detected when they are compromised, all apps to be checked for risky behavior, and vulnerabilities in apps and operating systems to be identified.
