“As the leading provider of Data-Centric Cloud Security, we set a new standard for helping businesses and individuals protect the sensitive data and information they care about most. We’re combining data security for organizations and consumers, from device and app to network and cloud,” this is how Jim Dolce, CEO describes Lookout. Lookout is yet another provider of cloud security services that completely safeguards data through monitoring, protection, threat detection, and risk assessment. The line separating personal data from corporate data is essentially nonexistent today.

A massive and international corporation may be taken advantage of by a simple software flaw, exposing the private data of millions of its clients. Data security goes beyond simply securing sensitive data. It is about releasing it as well. Many businesses want to bring security measures closer to the consumers, apps, and data they need to safeguard. Lookout offers a single, unified view that makes it simple to safeguard critical data in transit across apps, networks, and clouds. Transitioning to the cloud has always been beneficial for enterprises.

However, the challenges were also evident. Primarily, enterprises had to deal with increased security risks as cloud attacks appeared to attract many hackers. Cloud security solutions have been evolving in the recent past in accordance with the changing cloud security landscape. The demand for new solutions is always on the higher side. Traditional on-premise security solutions are unable to keep up with the expanding vulnerabilities across an expanding attack surface. Lookout has always been attentive to this need and has always extended innovative and enhanced cloud security.

The firm extends data-centric cloud security for securing corporate data in the cloud, on-prem, and also on devices. The solutions presented by the enterprise are oriented toward securing hybrid work and data with security, adopting the cloud faster, and Increasing team cooperation and productivity by letting employees, partners, and contractors use email and collaboration technologies. Their expertise also lies in identifying and mitigating Cyber Threats in Real Time, meeting compliance standards, and so on. Talking about enabling faster adoption of the cloud without compromising on productivity and security., the enterprise has gained years of expertise.

“We deploy data-centric cloud security platform to ensure your cloud deployments are not misconfigured, discover and protect data stored in the cloud and SaaS apps, and provide visibility and control while improving IT efficiency and user experience,” adds Dolce. Lookout Cloud Security Platform delivers zero trust security by reducing risk, protecting data, and allowing it to move securely. With a centralized dashboard and unified policy framework, security can be applied intelligently and in realtime,” informs Dolce. 

Further, the data-centric cloud security technology gives IT the ability to protect users, devices, apps, and data no matter where they are hosted.

A CASE STUDY

One of their clients, Schneider Electric was facing an issue concerning securing mobile users and the types of equipment. Security has taken precedence as Schneider has expanded to over 170,000 workers across more than 100 nations. Schneider used to employ a SIEM to compile all security data and an EMM to handle mobile devices. EMM is used to govern access to corporate resources like email and internal apps. Security for mobile users and equipment remained a problem. The client finally approached Lookout. Lookout was able to solve the issue using Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security.

THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES WERE MET:

Over 90,000 managed and unmanaged iOS and Android devices could be secured, and the solution seamlessly connected with the platforms already in use for SIEM, SSO, and EMM. Through Microsoft Intune, the solution was implemented throughout the entire worldwide fleet. Last but not least, the company leveraged its BYOD mobility strategy, with Lookout safeguarding any unmanaged devices.
