Lookout’s mobile EDR solution goes beyond traditional endpoint solutions by addressing the unique architecture, behaviors, and risks of iOS and Android devices. It provides industry-leading mobile threat defense on employee devices while also granting security teams the visibility and actionability needed to align mobile risk with traditional endpoint risk. By leveraging the world's largest AI-driven mobile security dataset, Lookout utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and behavioral analysis to detect threats before they escalate, ensuring comprehensive protection for sensitive data and enabling secure mobile productivity.
Recognizing that employees using mobile devices are the new frontline, attackers are increasingly employing sophisticated social engineering techniques like phishing and smishing. These tactics exploit basic human instincts—trust, curiosity, and urgency—to trick users into revealing sensitive credentials, allowing threats to bypass traditional legacy security solutions. To combat this, Lookout provides AI-first protection against advanced social engineering attacks, device compromises, vulnerabilities, mobile malware, network threats.

Reviews from Real Users
Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics
users who are currently using the solution.
PeerSpot user Partha D., Global Network Tech Lead at a computer software company, speaks about his experience using the product, saying, "It protects all app traffic so that users can gain access to all apps. Unlike other solutions that only work from ports 80 and 443, which are predominantly for web traffic, Prisma Access covers all protocols and works on all traffic patterns... The most sophisticated attacks can arise from sources that are not behind 80/443."
Tejas J., a Sr. Cloud Security Architect at a computer software company, mentions that "it is geographically dispersed, and it sits on top of Google and AWS platforms. Therefore, you don't face the standard issues, such as latency or bandwidth issues, that you usually face in the case of on-prem data centers.”
Another PeerSpot reviewer, Max I., Associate Director at Cognizant, comments that "Security is absolutely spot-on, really top-notch. It's the result of all the components that come together, such as the HIP [Host Information Profile] and components like Forcepoint, providing end-user content inspection, and antivirus. It incorporates DLP features and that's fantastic because Prisma Access makes sure that all of the essential prerequisites are in place before a user can log in or can be tunneled into."
