Lookout, Inc. is a globally recognized cybersecurity leader delivering advanced protection for the most vulnerable element of any enterprise security strategy - human error and manipulation. Cloud-native by design, the Lookout platform offers rapid, scalable deployment and simplified security operations, defending the frontline of human-centric attacks-the mobile device. Attackers now target the human element more than ever, with mobile devices providing the most direct path to their victims. Using social engineering techniques that exploit basic human instincts like trust, curiosity, and urgency, they deceive users into revealing sensitive credentials, allowing them to slip past legacy security solutions.

Lookout Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) continuously monitors mobile endpoints for signs of human-centric attacks, as well as traditional malware, software vulnerabilities, and other anomalous activity. It uses advanced threat detection techniques, including artificial intelligence (AI) and behavioral analysis, to identify threats before they escalate across the enterprise.
