Mobile security specialist Lookout said it will enter the business market with a stand-alone mobile security offering set to launch later this year. The company also inked a partnership deal with Samsung to bring Lookout to mobile devices with Samsung KNOX, Samsung's programme for enterprise security on its mobile devices. Lookout for KNOX will include real-time, cloud-based scanning to protect against mobile threats from email attachments, web browsing and any type of file-sharing services. The KNOX platform retains full compatibility with Android and the Google ecosystem while providing security and management enhancements, including an application container technology that enables enterprises to support both BYOD and Corporate-Liable models, without compromising corporate security or employee privacy.
