San Francisco, CA - March, 6 2019 - Lookout, the leader in securing the post-perimeter world, today announced the results of the Lookout Post-Perimeter Security Survey, which revealed a majority of RSA attendees surveyed plan to spend more on mobile security in the coming year. Since critical data has moved to the cloud, employees are able to access it from any network, wherever they are in the world. In fact, 76 percent of survey respondents access corporate data from personal mobile devices and/or public WiFi networks.
“Mobility, SaaS and cloud computing are enabling end users to access corporate data from any device and any location, rendering traditional perimeter security ineffective,” said Santosh Krishnan, Chief Product Officer, Lookout. “So it is not surprising that, in this post-perimeter era, an overwhelming majority of respondents have accessed corporate data from personal mobile devices or through public WiFi networks. This is concerning, as attacks, like phishing, have evolved to take advantage of the fact that existing perimeter protections no longer have visibility into user traffic. Enterprises need to adopt a post-perimeter security architecture to secure access to their corporate data.”
Key findings from the Lookout Post-Perimeter Security Survey include:
