Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security Is the Only
Mobile Endpoint Detection and Response Solution Available on the
Pax8 Cloud Marketplace
Lookout, Inc., the data-centric cloud security company, today
announced a strategic partnership with Pax8, the leading cloud
commerce marketplace, that enables Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
to acquire Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security directly from the Pax8
Marketplace. Backed by actionable threat intelligence from the
leading mobile dataset and research team, Lookout Mobile Endpoint
Security combines visibility, research, and protection to deliver
the industry’s most advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
solution for iOS, Android and ChromeOS. Lookout is the only mobile
EDR solution in the Pax8 marketplace.
While remote work is becoming the new normal for businesses
around the world, many struggle to secure an increasingly
mobile-centric environment. According to Lookout data, in 2023 more
than 25% of mobile users encountered at least one mobile phishing
attack every quarter. And the cost of protecting against the next
data breach can be significant, especially for small and
medium-sized businesses (SMBs). According to a recent Analysys
Mason technology forecast, annual SMB spending on cyber security
will reach $109 billion by 2026.
As the leader in mobile security, Lookout enables MSPs to
deliver managed mobile security services to safeguard their
customer’s personal and professional data on corporate-owned and
personal mobile devices. Powered by telemetry from more than 300
million mobile apps and 220 million devices, Lookout Mobile
Endpoint Security delivers the most advanced protection for iOS,
Android, and ChromeOS devices. Native multi-tenancy and zero-click
deployment make it easy for MSPs to scale mobile security services
that protect customers against threats including mobile phishing,
malicious websites, risky apps and OS/app vulnerabilities.
“Lookout has been the leader in mobile security since our
inception in 2007, and we believe that small to mid-sized
organizations deserve the same comprehensive mobile security
solutions offered to large enterprises and government agencies,”
said Dan Donovan, Chief Revenue Officer, Lookout. “With Lookout,
MSPs can help their customers close critical security gaps on
mobile devices such as mobile phishing, malicious websites and
OS/app vulnerabilities.”
Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security addresses the business needs
of MSPs by offering numerous operational advantages
including:
- A 95% rate of issue resolution by the end user.
- Minimal support requirements.
- Multi-tenancy for centralized, scalable policy management
across clients.
- Co-management to extend visibility and administrative control
to MSP clients.
- Flexible pricing models to accommodate existing service
contracts without any minimum commitments.
- Centralized reporting for comprehensive oversight across all
clients.
“In a world where mobile devices are used for personal and
organizational tasks, establishing the appropriate security and
privacy measures is essential,” said Nick Heddy, Chief Commerce
Officer at Pax8. “With Lookout, Pax8 partners can reduce customer
risk and meet their compliance objectives by closing the security
gap across all iOS, Android, and ChromeOS for both managed and
unmanaged (BYOD) devices in a way that respects end-user
privacy.”
