‍

‍BOSTON, October 29, 2024 – Lookout, Inc., the data-centric cloud security company, today announced that Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security has won the “Threat Detection Platform of the Year” award in the 8th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program. Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization, the program recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global information security market.

Mobile devices are now essential to enterprise productivity, collaboration, communication and cloud identity verification. But as the initial threat vector in the modern kill chain, they have also become prime targets for social engineering attacks that trick employees into sharing login credentials or sensitive data in cloud apps. In fact, Lookout’s recent Mobile Threat Landscape Report, which analyzed more than 315 million mobile apps and app versions, further highlights the diverse array of threats targeting mobile devices within the modern enterprise. To combat these threats, organizations need a comprehensive mobile security solution with integrated threat intelligence capabilities to protect their sensitive data and intellectual property, one that can detect and mitigate advanced threats, offer detailed visibility into mobile devices and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security addresses these needs by collecting and analyzing proprietary data to deliver comprehensive protection against mobile cyber attacks. Its advanced threat intelligence and machine learning technology safeguards customers' mobile devices from the latest threats, filling a critical gap in traditional endpoint detection and response solutions. With the world’s largest AI-driven mobile security dataset, encompassing telemetry from more than 315 million mobile apps, 450 million malicious sites and 220 million devices, Lookout enables organizations to proactively research and address advanced mobile threats. Its platform empowers businesses with deep insights into internal system security and access to industry-leading threat intelligence, helping them stay ahead in the evolving mobile threat landscape.

“We are honored to be named the ‘Threat Detection Platform of the Year’ by CyberSecurity Breakthrough," said David Richardson, Vice President of Product, Endpoint and Security, Lookout. “This further validates the ability of Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security to ensure that security teams can stay one step ahead of attackers who might be targeting their organization, implement intelligence risk management through proactive research into the mobile threat landscape, and secure their mobile infrastructure against a plethora of advanced social engineering attacks, mobile surveillanceware and exploits targeting vulnerable apps and OSs.”

The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize innovation, hard work and success in a range of information security categories, including Cloud Security, Threat Detection, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Email Security and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 20 different countries around the world.

“Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security allows organizations to better understand the extent of their risks by increasing visibility posed by mobile devices across the organization. After all, most organizations don’t have full visibility into how mobile devices within their company process data,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “For most people, their mobile phones are where their personal lives converge with work, increasing the chance of company data ending up in the wrong hands. Congratulations to Lookout for developing a threat intelligence platform that tirelessly protects and secures an organization’s users and their devices, in a mobile-first world.”
