How I Work – 204 – Lookout

captureOur phones contain the most sensitive information and mobile devices are the new target for cyber attacks. Lookout protects private citizens and the world’s largest enterprises with intelligence from 100 million mobile sensors. Instead of using traditional methods of threat detection, Lookout uses machine intelligence based on huge amounts of data collected over the years – this makes it the smartest in the field.

Apart from smart detection of viruses and mischievous apps, if your phone is lost or stolen, you have the ability to track your phone. And if someone switches off your phone or removes the SIM card, you can even get a photo of that person clicked, along with the location.

So if you need smart software and hardware security, try this intelligent and robust solution. But a small price to pay for protection against growing threats to your smartphone!
