Lookout, a leader in endpoint and cloud security solutions, today announced it has been named a “Strong Performer” in the Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer” for Security Service Edge (SSE). Gartner Peer Insights is a reviews and ratings platform for technology end users to provide candid customer feedback and for technology decision makers to learn about a company’s products and services. The “Voice of the Customer” is a document that synthesizes these user reviews into insights for IT decision makers.
Gartner defines SSE as a technology that “secures access to the web, cloud services and private applications. Capabilities include access control, threat protection, data security, security monitoring and acceptable use control enforced by network-based and API-based integration. SSE is primarily delivered as a cloud-based service and may include on-premises or agent-based components.” According to Gartner, by 2025, 80% of organizations seeking to procure SSE-related security services will purchase a consolidated SSE solution rather than stand-alone cloud access security broker, secure web gateway, and ZTNA offerings, up from 15% in 2021.
Lookout’s SSE solution, the Lookout Cloud Security Platform, safeguards an organizations’ data, identifies and mitigates threats and facilitates secure access to the web, private apps and cloud services (SaaS) deployed in a multi-cloud environment. It combines Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Secure Web Gateway (SWG) natively in a single platform, significantly reducing the complexity, costs and number of security vendors and point solutions an IT department has to manage. It also provides the agility and scalability to keep pace with evolving, increasingly sophisticated threats.
Earlier this year, Gartner released its 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge in which Lookout was named a Visionary. The companion 2022 Gartner Critical Capabilities for SSE report ranked Lookout in the top three across all four Use Cases.
“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.”
