New Product Advancements Allow Security Teams to Integrate Critical Mobile Security Data into Their Existing Security Tools to Assess Risks, Identify Attacks, and Protect Against the Modern Kill Chain
Lookout, Inc., a leading data-centric mobile endpoint and cloud security provider, has unveiled its new Lookout Mobile Intelligence Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). This innovative solution significantly enhances enterprise mobile security by offering deeper visibility into mobile security data. With Lookout Mobile Intelligence APIs, security teams can seamlessly integrate crucial mobile device security insights into their existing security frameworks, such as SIEM, SOAR, and XDR. This integration empowers organizations to detect cross-platform threats, identify risky trends, and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
As mobile devices continue to play a pivotal role in modern workplaces, enabling employees to access critical data with greater flexibility, they have also become prime targets for cyber threats. Cyber attackers are increasingly leveraging sophisticated tactics to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise sensitive corporate data. To counteract these evolving threats, Lookout Mobile Intelligence APIs provide security teams with comprehensive insights into their mobile environments. This visibility is crucial for preventing account compromises caused by social engineering, mitigating data exposure risks linked to vulnerable applications, and thwarting device takeovers due to outdated operating systems.
“Enterprise security teams must have the utmost visibility across all endpoints to ensure their organizations are fully protected, but the SIEM, SOAR, and XDR solutions they rely on to do that are only as effective as the data within them,” said Firas Azmeh, President, Mobile Endpoint Security, Lookout. “Lookout Mobile Intelligence APIs elevate the critical security data that exists in mobile environments, so organizations can get the most out of their existing SIEM and XDR investments and security teams can stay ahead of modern attackers.”
