Data is the lifeblood of every organization today. However, the increasing amount and reliance on data brings more sophisticated threats, making it harder to protect. In fact, 51% of security leaders cite securing data as a top challenge.* As cybercriminals continuously evolve their tactics, these attacks can have severe consequences, including operational disruptions, erosion of customer trust, and lasting financial damage. Traditional security solutions simply can't keep up or protect against the relentless pace of these threats.

That's why it's crucial to choose a security platform that takes a data-centric cloud security approach. This approach provides visibility and control over data usage, activities, and anomalies across all apps, ensuring that your data is protected wherever it goes — from Google Drive and Slack, all the way to internet apps and ChatGPT. 

Register for our upcoming webinar to learn: 
- Why traditional security approaches fall short in the cloud environment
- How data-centric cloud security revolutionizes data protection
- Real-life scenarios on how a typical day exposes your users and IT team to risk — see data protection in action

Secure Your SaaS Applications: Essential Strategies to Protect Your Cloud Data

Scattered Spider: The cybercrime group behind the MGM Resorts data breach costing an estimated $100 million. 
APT41: A notorious Chinese APT that recently developed two mobile surveillanceware tools, WyrmSpy and DragonEgg, to target over 100 public and private sector organizations.

These two groups represent a global shift among threat actors – focusing on mobile devices to quietly compromise credentials, apps, and data. Join Tyler Croak, Principal Strategist at Lookout, and Ken Saganowski, Director of Technical Advisory at MOXFIVE, in this 30-minute session, to learn:

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

Cybercriminals continue to evolve their tactics to compromise your organization's security defenses. The modern approach is to start by targeting users on their mobile devices to steal their credentials. 

Learn how these cybercriminals have evolved their tactics, and how Lookout prevents and protects at each stage of the kill chain.

How Lookout Protects Against the Modern Day Kill Chain

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

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

Where is Your Data? The Blind Spots Most Organizations Don't Know About

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
