Lookout is an integrated endpoint-to-cloud security company. Our mission is to secure and empower our digital future in a privacy-focused world where mobility and cloud are essential to all we do for work and play. We enable consumers and employees to protect their data, and to securely stay connected without violating their privacy and trust. Lookout is trusted by millions of consumers, the largest enterprises and government agencies, and partners such as AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Headquartered in San Francisco, Lookout has offices in Amsterdam, Boston, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto and Washington, D.C. To learn more, visit www.lookout.com.

We’d like to invite you to an opportunity to learn from a longtime Lookout customer, Alan Zaccardelle, who recently discovered an Android vulnerability, which he reported to Google and they are going to patch in the coming weeks. Alan has been with Airbus for more than 14 years and is now the CISO at one of their subsidiary organizations. 

As you know, Android devices can run both work and personal profiles. This newly discovered vulnerability has existed in the Android Work profile since 2015 and allows any app (malicious, legitimate, or unauthorized) to be sideloaded when a new Work profile is being created on a BYOD device. 

A malicious user can use this vulnerability to install any app during the Work profile creation and then use the sideloaded apps in the Work Profile as long as the device is enrolled in MDM. 

In this exclusive session, you’ll learn: 
- How Alan’s research led to this discovery and an explanation of its technical aspects
- The impact that this type of vulnerability could have on enterprise devices and data
- What mobile risk can look like, even on devices managed by an MDM, and why mobile needs to be part of your broader EDR strategy.

Exclusive Briefing: Discovery, disclosure, and impact of an Android vulnerability

Mobile devices have evolved into the cornerstone of employee productivity, communication and identity. However, they remain a blind spot for security teams and are a natural target for any threat actor aiming to compromise an organization. 

Without visibility into your organization’s mobile ecosystem, it’s impossible to identify security trends, potential risk, and coordinated cross-platform attacks. By the end of the session, you’ll have a well-rounded understanding of:
- How the traditional cyber kill chain is modernizing as threat actors exploit mobile devices and users more aggressively. 
- Evolving trends in the mobile threat landscape including the severity of mobile vulnerabilities and efficacy of social engineering attacks such as executive impersonation. 
- How mobile device telemetry can evolve from being a peripheral data point to a critical piece of the enterprise security puzzle by integrating with your SIEM, SOAR, or XDR. 
- Actionable insights that will help your security team gain better visibility into mobile risk and stay a step ahead of threat actors leveraging modern tactics.

The SOC’s Biggest Blind Spot and the Risk it Poses

2024 saw a surge in cyberattacks alongside rapid tech advancements, making it clear that staying ahead in the digital world is more important than ever.

Cybersecurity Predictions: A Look into 2025's Security Landscape

As cyber criminals increasingly exploit mobile devices to breach cloud environments, security strategies for 2025 must prioritize mobile threat intelligence. This webinar explores new findings on advanced threats from China and Russia, demonstrating how mobile endpoints are leveraged in the modern kill chain to compromise cloud data. Learn why Mobile Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is essential in 2025 and how to stay ahead of evolving threats. Get actionable insights and strengthen your defenses against the rising tide of mobile-enabled cyberattacks.

2025 Security Planning: How to Utilize Mobile Threat Intelligence to Protect Cloud Data

Why Does My CEO Want My Password? Cybercriminals are impersonating senior executives and IT teams to trick employees into sharing critical sensitive information and corporate credentials. With one usable set of credentials, attackers can quietly access your cloud infrastructure and compromise data undetected. What’s worse is that you often don’t know when your employees are being targeted - making it impossible to proactively defend against these threats. 

Join this 30-minute webinar to learn: 

- How cybercriminals are modernizing their tactics to compromise entire organizations through a simple text message. 
- Why visibility into the initial steps of a modern attack is crucial to protecting data.
- How Lookout protects against executive impersonation and smishing attacks.

Lookout & Verizon: Executive Impersonation and Smishing Attacks Explained

Threat actors are constantly evolving their tactics to stay a step ahead of your data security strategies. The latest trend is to target mobile devices to compromise employee identities, quietly enter your infrastructure, and gain unauthorized access to data and systems. Your users spend hours on mobile devices each day, yet you remain blind to threats and risky interactions that are occurring on them.

Walk away from this webinar with an understanding of: 
- The richness of data available from Mobile EDR to enhance insight and proactive capabilities
- How to identify the early stages of a modern attack such as reconnaissance and social engineering
- The importance of including mobile in your SIEM/SOC to capture all detections and user activity
- How to enhance your playbooks with qualified and raw mobile event data

- The importance of including mobile in your SIEM/SOC to capture all detections and user activity
- How to enhance your playbooks with qualified and raw mobile event data

Modern breaches now happen 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 with legitimate credentials and swiftly compromise data. Recent high-profile attacks are evidence of this including MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Twilio, and many others.

Join us for this 30-minute presentation to learn:
- How the traditional cyber kill chain has evolved to exploit mobile users
- Key findings from Lookout's Q1 Mobile Threat Landscape Report
- What makes your organization vulnerable to a modern-day attack
- Why automated defenses are essential
- How Lookout protects its customers from these types of attacks

Information Week Hosts Tales of a Modern Data Breach: The Rise of Mobile Attacks

Threat hunting is evolving as more adversaries use coordinated cross-platform attacks to infiltrate enterprise and government organizations. Now more than ever, security teams must understand how to link traditional desktop or network-focused attacks with malicious activity in their iOS and Android fleets. 


Join us for a 30-minute interactive session with the researchers behind the discovery of WyrmSpy and DragonEgg. In this session, you will learn:

- How cross-platform indicators of compromise (IOCs) were used to help discover WyrmSpy and DragonEgg
- How to interpret mobile threats that could put your organization at risk. 
- How mobile EDR can help strengthen research and security workflows to keep your organization safe.
