Phishing is the primary means attackers gain access to your organisation’s network and corporate data. It is relatively easy to fool an end user into clicking on a link, which can lead to malicious websites or downloads. Lookout-exclusive data indicates that up to 25% of employees are fooled into clicking links during phishing tests. Many organisations have already invested in email security protections and spam filters, supplemented by additional perimeter provisions such as firewalls and secure web gateways. However this is increasingly inadequate as employees move outside the perimeter and use other apps, both personal and corporate, for data access and communications.

The Lookout artificial intelligence detection engine proactively determines the reputation of sites on the Internet. With an always-on approach, Lookout Phishing AI detects phishing kits as they are being built, before any user is targeted and an attack is executed. We share select findings with the world here @PhishingAI.

It only takes one errant tap to compromise a mobile device. That tap may be on a malicious URL that was truncated in the browser window, a URL an app accessed in its backend to unknowingly connect to a malicious ad network, or a link in personal email created to trick a user into offering corporate credentials — that enables an attacker to move laterally in your infrastructure towards your valuable data.
