Mobile Endpoint Detect and Respond (EDR)

Threat Actors Are Turning to Mobile as Your Organization’s Weakest Link

Threat actors are increasingly shifting their focus to mobile devices, recognizing them as the most accessible and least protected entry point into the enterprise. With employees using smartphones for everything from multi-factor authentication to accessing sensitive business apps, mobile has become a high-value target. Yet, many organizations still lack the visibility and protections needed to defend against phishing, malicious apps, and device-level exploits—making mobile the weakest link in the security chain.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity solution that continuously monitors and analyzes activity on end-user devices to detect, investigate, and respond to threats in real time. While traditional EDR platforms are widely used across enterprise environments, they often overlook mobile devices like iOS and Android—leaving a significant blind spot. Lookout closes this gap with mobile-native EDR, delivering the visibility and protection needed to secure your entire endpoint ecosystem.

Detect suspicious behavior

Mobile EDR monitors for suspicious activity like credential theft attempts, risky app behavior, device compromise, and abnormal communication patterns—threats often missed by traditional EDR tools.

Investigate threats

When a threat is detected on a mobile device, the mobile EDR system gathers essential data—such as app behavior, device status, network activity, and system logs—to assist security teams in investigating the incident and understanding its scope and impact.

Respond to incidents

Mobile EDR can restrict access for compromised devices, block malicious apps, disable risky network connections, or alert security teams for rapid investigation and response.

Record data forensics

Maintains detailed records of mobile device activity—such as app behavior and URL activity—to trace the root cause of an attack and strengthen defenses against future threats.

AI-first mobile EDR tailored to the mobile ecosystem.

Lookout’s mobile EDR solution goes beyond traditional endpoint strategies by addressing the unique architecture, behaviors, and risks of iOS and Android devices. Unlike legacy tools retrofitted for mobile, Lookout delivers real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis, and policy enforcement purpose-built for the mobile ecosystem. It provides deep visibility without invading user privacy, ensuring you can monitor, detect, and respond to mobile threats—whether the device is managed, unmanaged, or BYOD.

Lookout Mobile EDR leverages the world’s largest mobile security dataset to continuously detect and respond to threats across your mobile fleet. By analyzing over 100,000 apps per day and monitoring mobile telemetry in real time, Lookout identifies malware, risky behavior, and phishing attempts as they emerge—delivering seamless protection that scales with your organization.

The Case for Mobile EDR.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is critical for mobile security because mobile devices have become integral to how people work—and they’re increasingly targeted by attackers.

Mobile is no longer peripheral—it’s core. Without mobile EDR, your security strategy is incomplete.

Mobile is now a primary attack vector

Threat actors use phishing (e.g., smishing), malicious apps, and OS vulnerabilities to compromise mobile devices and access sensitive data.

Mobile devices are identity anchors

Phones are used for MFA, SSO, and authentication flows—making them high-value targets for credential theft and account takeover.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Most legacy EDR solutions focus on desktops and servers. Without mobile EDR, organizations have a major blind spot in their threat detection and response strategy.

BYOD and unmanaged devices increase risk

Employees often use personal phones for work, which may not be protected by corporate controls—mobile EDR adds visibility and protection across this diverse device landscape.

Real-time response is essential

Mobile EDR enables security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to threats as they unfold—helping contain incidents before they escalate.
