Mobile Phishing
Mobile is the new frontier of phishing
With more employees using mobile devices for work, cyber criminals now target mobile devices more than ever as a way to steal corporate credentials and access sensitive data.
With mobile devices typically left unprotected and containing a mix of personal and corporate messaging apps it becomes an obvious starting point for many cyber attacks.
- Lookout automatically detects and blocks access to phishing sites clicked on any mobile messaging application to protect against websites trying to compromise employee credentials or deliver malware.
- As soon as a user clicks on a phishing link, Lookout instantly detects the risk, blocks access to the URL and notifies the user.
- The phishing risk is self remediated without needing any end user or admin interaction.
Scanning QR Codes
Everyday convenience introduces risk
QR codes are commonly used to simplify access to online content and services from digital devices, with users trusting them as efficient and secure.
Threat actors are increasingly leveraging QR codes as a simple and effective method to capture credentials, download malware or launch cyber attacks.
- Lookout automatically detects and blocks access to web-based threats from malicious QR codes, protecting against risks such as, credential theft and the delivery of malware.
- Users are automatically protected without needing to take any corrective or remediative action. And made aware that a QR code was attempting to navigate them to a harmful webpage
Unrestricted Internet Access
Any web content is freely accessible from mobile
Mobile devices have the ability to provide users with open access to the internet. This carries risk as general web browsing can lead a user to harmful content.
Businesses often find it challenging to ensure content accessed is relevant, professional and productive – while respecting user privacy.
- Lookout provides URL filtering on the mobile device, enabling specific categories of web content to be restricted. Giving users control over what nature of web-based content can be accessed.
- Unauthorised content categories can be enabled including: Adult, violent, criminal, high bandwidth, social media or unrecognised sites.
- Lookout can also block access to selected domains through a customizable denylist.
Mobile App Risk
Customers lack visibility into risky or non compliant apps
Malware on mobile can be seen in many different forms such as: spyware, surveillanceware, riskware or adware – all with varying degrees of risk and capabilities.
Apps are the most common point through which corporate and sensitive data can be unknowingly leaked or transferred from.
- Advanced insight and telemetry gathered from Lookout’s analysis of over 300M unique mobile apps is provided to Lookout administrators.
- Lookout’s unrivalled mobile app dataset enables the detection of known and evolving app-based malware with the highest degree of accuracy.
- Lookout calculates a risk grade for each app installed across the fleet, based on its capabilities and the data it accesses or transfers.
- Customers can add specific apps or app versions to a deny list to ensure users are restricted from using risky or non-compliant apps.
Software Vulnerabilities
Unknown exposures heighten security risk
Known vulnerabilities associated with outdated apps or outdated OS versions can offer cyber attackers an easier route to compromise a mobile device, leaving those devices exposed to risk.
Specific devices in a customer’s mobile fleet may be more susceptible than others to mobile threats or risk.
- Administrators can set a minimum required OS version for iOS and Android, ensuring mobile devices have current security patches installed.
- Visibility of which iOS or Android versions contain severe critical vulnerabilities enables a business to tailor it’s security policies.
- Administrators are able to deny list outdated versions of applications which may contain known vulnerabilities or versions of apps with a critical / high risk classification.
Joining Unsafe Networks
Remote users are quick to trust external networks
With flexible working models being embraced, joining networks on the go or from new locations has become the norm. Verifying that the connection points are legitimate can be challenging
Man-in-the-middle attacks are used to entice users to join legitimate looking networks (fake networks), enabling an attacker to intercept network traffic and perform malicious actions, such as the theft of user credentials.
- Lookout automatically blocks access to potentially unsafe external networks such as WiFi connections or hotspots.
- Provides peace of mind that remote workers are protected from the risks posed by man-in-the-middle attacks without the need manual remediation.
