Lookout helps federal agencies go mobile without sacrificing security Lookout has hired on a vice president of Federal Systems, Bob Stevens, as part of a company initiative to make the government workforce more productive through the secure use of mobile devices. “As federal agencies adopt BYOD and other mobility programs to reduce costs, increase productivity and effectiveness, and appeal to a changing workforce, the growth and sophistication of mobile malware must be addressed,” said Stevens. “Mobile devices store and transmit immense amounts of data, are highly portable and constantly connected to unsecured networks, making them an extremely weak link in the security ecosystem. At Lookout, we have access to virtually all the mobile code in the world, which allows us to predict and stop mobile attacks before they do harm and make it safer for mobile devices to be used in the federal workplace.” To bring Lookout’s predictive mobile security to the federal market, we have partnered with Carahsoft, a leading government IT solutions provider. We are also forming the Lookout Federal Systems Advisory Board to help us establish strategies and guide future product development to satisfy the unique requirements of the federal space. The Board is chaired by Roger Cressey, the former director of National Security Council and an expert on cybersecurity and counter-terrorism. It’s possible to enable mobility without sacrificing security. Learn more about our efforts to bring predictive mobile security to the federal government in Bob’s article on LinkedIn and in our press release. January 22, 2015 at 07:26PM
