But how do you protect all that sensitive data sharing across users and apps without restricting productivity and creativity?

Join this webinar to discover how Lookout Secure Cloud Access provides a unique approach to data security, by empowering organizations to collaborate and securely share data while improving control and visibility.

With real-world use cases, best practices, and a live demo, the session is designed to help you:
- Understand today’s leading data risks and threats
- Learn how to enhance your organization's security posture
- Discover best practices for enabling more productive collaboration

The Ultimate Balancing Act: Securing Cloud Data in the Hybrid Work Era

Today, businesses need a modern and robust approach to remote access security. One that delivers zero trust, comprehensive visibility, and advanced data protections across hybrid and remote environments. Designed for only traditional network architectures, VPNs simply don’t match up to securely enable access across all multi-cloud environments. In addition, they are difficult to scale, impact performance, and are costly and complex to maintain.

Like all other organizations, Lookout has also faced its fair share of these issues with legacy VPNs. And who better to learn from than someone who's been in the trenches? 

Hear firsthand from Joel Perkins, Lookout’s head of IT, to discuss how he overcame challenges of a legacy VPN with Lookout Secure Private Access, our zero trust network access (ZTNA) solution. Discover why visibility and control over all your private apps and the data within those apps is crucial, and why remote access via a standard VPN alone doesn’t suffice anymore.

Get practical takeaways and strategies for: 
- Understanding of all private apps: Discovering all private apps that need to be migrated.
- Planning migration of apps: Depending on the form factor, whether they are legacy / client server, VoiP or web apps, how can we plan the migration and whether both VPN and ZTNA need to coexist.
- Understanding of all users: Whether they are employees, contractors and using managed or unmanaged devices.
- Consider Protecting data from deliberate or accidental exfiltration: Avoid deliberate or accidental data exfiltration after access is granted. 
- Look beyond ZTNA as an integrated platform: Achieve seamless zero trust access with a single-agent, single console, and single policy engine, and support for a multi-cloud environment.

5 Key Considerations for a Successful Migration from Legacy VPN to ZTNA

An estimated 56% of employees are directly using AI to automate or augment job tasks.* Although there are many benefits that come with using these tools — employee enablement, productivity, time and resources saved — they also pose great risk to your sensitive and private data. AI platforms like ChatGPT and Google Gemini, collect the data submitted by end users to train their models. Any proprietary data submitted to these tools becomes publicly available once submitted, putting your most valuable data at risk.

Join our upcoming webinar, where Tyler Croak and Tony Kelly, Lookout’s cloud security experts, will walk you through best practices on your journey to enable your workforce to use GenAI tools safely, and without risk to your organization.

You’ll leave with an understanding of: 
- The risks of unsecured GenAI tools
- Real-world examples of accidental data leaks through AI tools
- Best practices to balance employee enablement with data security
- An actionable 3-step plan for secure AI use in your organization

See Mobile Threat Defense in Action

Cloud breaches are now happening in minutes, not months. Threat actors are exploiting the fact that mobile devices are more susceptible to social engineering, enabling them to gain direct access to cloud infrastructure and swiftly compromise data.

Join us for this 30-minute webinar with Lookout EVP of Product to learn: 
- How the traditional cyber kill chain has evolved to exploit mobile users
- Why attacks utilizing a mobile device are increasing
- What makes your organization vulnerable to a modern-day attack 
- Why stopping breaches requires the ability to identify anomalous data movements
- The three key capabilities you need to defend against modern breaches

The Modern Kill Chain: How Attacks Have Gone From Months to Minutes

Threat actors are targeting mobile devices more aggressively to compromise employee accounts and quietly gain access to your cloud infrastructure – making it critical to understand emerging mobile threats and how tactics are rapidly changing. 

Lookout invites you to an exclusive briefing on our recent discovery of CryptoChameleon - an active phishing kit that enables attackers to build carbon copies of single sign-on (SSO) pages, then uses a vicious combination of social engineering tactics to trick the target into sharing more than just their username and password. Target organizations have included the FCC, Coinbase, and more. 

Join the researchers behind the discovery, as they dissect CryptoChameleon and dive into:
- A behind-the-scenes look at the phishing kit and insight into its operator functionality.
- The novel tactics used to avoid detection by traditional web analysis tools.
- How social engineering and AI enable the operators to build credibility and trust with their victims. 
- Actions you can take to mitigate the risk of your employees falling victim to socially-engineered attacks on their mobile devices.

Exclusive Threat Briefing: CryptoChameleon Phishing Kit

As the digital age is constantly evolving, the cybersecurity landscape remains in a constant state of change. The year 2023 bore witness to a multitude of cyberattacks and technological advancements, emphasizing the pressing need to stay one step ahead of the ever-shifting digital frontier.

Cybersecurity Predictions for 2024: Emerging Threats and Best Practices

APTs are often thought of as primarily targeting governments for cyber espionage. However in reality, they could have just as much impact on the private sector. The techniques and tactics used by APTs frequently overlap with financially-motivated cybercriminals, and some APT groups themselves have taken to moonlighting as cybercriminals for profit.

With such advanced and well-funded operations, APTs cause significantly more risk to any organization’s financials, reputation, supply chains, and compliance standing than ever before. 

Join Justin Albrecht, Global Director of Threat Intelligence, and Kristina Balaam, Staff Security Intelligence Researcher, as they dissect: 
- The evolution of APT groups and the overlap with other cybercrime groups 
- Why APT tactics and interests should concern the enterprise 
- Lookout’s recent discovery of WyrmSpy and DragonEgg — two pieces of mobile surveillanceware developed by APT 41

The Dangers of APT Groups and What Enterprise Security Teams Need to Know

Talk Data To Me: Modernize As You Migrate

Data is now more valuable than ever. But many organizations don't have a full grasp of what data they actually have, where it’s stored, or who has access to it — and this is especially true with hybrid workforces.

In fact, according to recent research only 54 percent of today’s companies know where their sensitive data is stored, and a whopping 65 percent collect so much data that they’re unable to categorize or analyze it.* This lack of visibility can create major blind spots that expose your organization to unnecessary data risk. The good news is that mitigating this risk is easier than you might think.

 Watch the webinar to discover:
- Tactics on how to identify where your data lives and who has access to it
- What risks you could be exposed due to  lack of data visibility
- Actionable steps you can take to proactively protect your data
