SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lookout, the leader in securing the post-perimeter world, announced
today that it has been positioned as a leader in the IDC

Mobile Threat Management (MTM) is the term IDC uses to describe Lookout Mobile
Endpoint Security

Threat Defense
(MTD) products. The IDC MarketScape highlights the
trends driving increased adoption of mobile security solutions and the
vendors leading the market. “As mobile security and governance
frameworks mature, mobile threat management (MTM) software tools are
filling a major security gap many enterprises are discovering across one
of their most pervasive technology deployments: smartphones and tablets
used by employees.”* In fact, additional market research has led to
projections of 100% YoY growth, sizing this market at $100M in 2017, and
having grown to $200M in 2018.

According to Phil Hochmuth, Program Director, Enterprise Mobility at
IDC, “Many enterprises see mobile threat management software tools as a
valuable frontline level of defense against mobile threats, as well as
an emerging security technology requirement from a compliance
standpoint.”

Management Security Software 2018 Vendor Assessment validates our vision
of a security architecture that protects enterprises in today’s
perimeter-less, cloud-delivered, and privacy-focused world,” said Jim
