This comprehensive approach allows the solution to uncover thousands of new threats regularly. Moreover, Lookout’s Mobile Endpoint Security solution is FedRAMP JAB P-ATO Authorized and available through CDM DEFEND, ensuring its suitability for enterprise and government customers seeking robust data protection.

Steve Johansson, managing director at CyberSecurity Breakthrough, praised Lookout’s Mobile Endpoint Security solution for improving organizations’ understanding of the extent of mobile device risks.
