Lookout, the specialist in mobile security, adds a complete EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution for mobile. Integrated within the Lookout Security Platform, Lookout's mobile EDR solution enables organizations to conduct their own research and identify threats to stop intrusions. It operates the same console used by Lookout analysts to discover mobile threats such as Pegasus, Dark Caracal, Monokle and more recently SilkBean.
While many organizations have full monitoring of server, desktop, and laptop activity, what they lack is the same telemetry for iOS, Android, and Chrome OS devices. As employees increasingly use mobile devices for work, attacks on these devices have increased.
Mobile, the poor relation of cybersecurity
Lookout EDR is thus specifically developed for mobile phones. An EDR solution for mobile devices is very different from the same solution for laptop and desktop computers. Mobile operating systems such as iOS, Android, and Chrome OS do not allow the invasive techniques built into traditional security solutions, such as kernel extensions and process control, to be used.
“All employees use mobile devices in the course of their work, but most organizations do not control attacks on these devices. For this reason, Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) are increasingly targeting mobile devices rather than traditional desktops or the corporate network, ”said Aaron Cockerill, Chief Strategy Officer, Lookout. "Our 'mobile endpoint detection and response' solution enables organizations to hunt down APTs by identifying the mobile component of these cyber attacks."
