Elevating Endpoint Security: Lookout Mobile Intelligence APIs

There’s no denying that mobile devices have become essential tools for employees — they facilitate communication and boost productivity by providing access to corporate resources from virtually anywhere. 

But that convenience comes at a cost.

The role of the mobile device, in terms of how much can be done with them and the amount of data they can give users access to in a convenient and familiar form factor, has made them indispensable to the modern workforce. Threat actors have identified this mobile edge as a particularly vulnerable point of entry, whether due to poor patch management, unauthorized applications, ill-advised web browsing, or social engineering via channels such as SMS and social media apps.  

Unfortunately, mobile devices are often a blind spot for the security operations center (SOC), and now more than ever, security teams need visibility into this mobile world to give them a better chance at protecting their organizations.

To protect corporate resources and maintain a robust security posture, integrating mobile security data into existing endpoint and data security strategies is no longer optional — it’s a necessity. 

Lookout is excited to introduce our new Mobile intelligence APIs. These APIs provide security teams with the ability to seamlessly integrate vital mobile security data into their existing tool sets, such as SIEM, SOAR, or XDR. This level of visibility eliminates the mobile blind spot and allows teams to correlate usage and threat data across their organization, providing a unified and airtight security strategy regardless of the endpoint.

Gain critical visibility with Lookout Mobile Intelligence APIs

Mobile environments differ significantly from conventional endpoints. Lookout developed our Mobile Intelligence APIs to bridge this gap, delivering detailed insights into a user’s environment and turning mobile device telemetry from a frustrating unknown into a vital part of your enterprise security strategy.

These APIs elevate mobile devices to the same importance as the other devices included in your endpoint security strategy, enabling your security team to ensure mobile devices aren’t posing an unseen, undetected risk. 

With the Lookout Mobile Intelligence APIs, security teams can now stream threat events, audits, and device state changes detected by Lookout into their preferred data store or security tool. This means you can see all endpoint risks in one place, filling a critical gap in security visibility, analysis, and operations.

What's more, these APIs work in both directions. Not only do they provide a wealth of data about your organization's mobile devices, but they can also accept inbound policies. So, if your security team has a deny list of websites that employees shouldn’t visit on devices with corporate access, you can extend that policy to mobile devices seamlessly. This ensures a consistent security posture across your organization, tackling risks that aren’t specific to just one type of device.

With Lookout Mobile Intelligence APIs, your security teams gain comprehensive visibility and control over mobile devices, ensuring they don't become weak links in your IT infrastructure. To learn more about these APIs, check out our free one-pager.
