Lookout, a provider of endpoint and cloud security solutions, has been recognized as a “Strong Performer” in the Gartner® Peer InsightsTM “Voice of the Customer” for Security Service Edge (SSE). Gartner Peer Insights is a reviews and ratings platform that allows technology end users to provide candid customer feedback while also educating technology decision makers about a company’s products and services. The “Voice of the Customer” is a document that translates user feedback into insights for IT decision makers.
“To prevent data leakage in this cloud-first, hybrid workforce era, you need an integrated cybersecurity solution that offers advanced capabilities, rapid onboarding and a seamless user experience,” said Pravin Kothari, executive vice president, Product and Strategy, Cloud Security, Lookout. “There’s no stronger validation of our product’s capabilities and value than positive customer endorsements. Lookout employees are deeply committed to meeting the needs and objectives of our customers, and we’re honored to be recognized in the Gartner Peer Insights report.”
SSE, according to Gartner, is a technology that “secures access to the web, cloud services, and private applications.” Access control, threat protection, data security, security monitoring, and acceptable use control are among the capabilities supported by network-based and API-based integration. SSE is primarily delivered as a cloud-based service, though on-premises or agent-based components may be included.” Gartner predicts that by 2025, 80% of organizations seeking SSE-related security services will opt for a consolidated SSE solution rather than stand-alone cloud access security broker, secure web gateway, and ZTNA offerings, up from 15% in 2021.
The Lookout Cloud Security Platform, Lookout’s SSE solution, protects an organization’s data, identifies and mitigates threats, and enables secure access to the web, private apps, and cloud services (SaaS) deployed in a multi-cloud environment. It natively combines Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Secure Web Gateway (SWG) in a single platform, reducing the complexity, costs, and number of security vendors and point solutions that an IT department must manage. It also provides the agility and scalability required to keep up with evolving, more sophisticated threats.
