With the integration, Lookout is bringing additional choice to security capabilities for customers on Google Workspace to assist them in mitigating the risk of endpoints that may compromise corporate data.

The integration with Lookout Continuous Conditional Access allows users to continuously assess the security posture of Android, Chrome OS and iOS endpoints. The service delivers the data via an application programming interface to Google Workspace or Google Cloud’s BeyondCorp Enterprise enabling dynamic modification of access controls.

Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security is also now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, supporting a single billing arrangement using Google Cloud committed spend. The solution, built for mobile from the ground up, applies artificial intelligence to telemetry data from nearly 200 million devices and over 145 million apps.

“Our strategic partnership with Google Cloud will deliver industry-leading endpoint-to-cloud security,” David Richardson, vice president of product at Lookout, said in a statement. “Enabling productivity from any endpoint in any location is critical in today’s remote-work environment.”
