Detecting APT Threats on Government Devices: Insights into Federal Cyber AI Strategies

Cybersecurity has long been a national security concern for world governments and the private corporations that develop solutions for them. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the subsequent rise of advanced persistent threats (APTs) were wake-up calls that the geopolitical landscape has shifted into uncharted territory.

How the CDM Program Strengthens Federal Cyber Resilience

For most organizations, a data breach can be catastrophic, resulting in loss of trust and revenue, and maybe even steep fines and penalties. When you add in a potential threat to national security, that breach becomes far more dangerous. That’s why the United States Department of Homeland Security implemented the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program, which has become a cornerstone of federal cybersecurity.

Navigating FedRAMP Compliance: Why It's Crucial for Mobile Security

If your organization handles United States federal government data in cloud environments, it’s often a requirement to use FedRAMP-authorized solutions. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) provides consistent standards for protecting unclassified data that passes between the federal government and privately owned third parties.

Human-Directed Threats: The New Frontline in Cybersecurity

A constantly shifting threat landscape has given rise to a new cyberattack vector, driven by two powerful forces: the rapid migration of data to the cloud and the fundamental change in how employees access and interact with that data. Today’s workforce expects the freedom to work and access information from any device—especially mobile devices, which have become integral to their professional and personal lives.

The Modern Kill Chain: An On-Demand Session from FCW, NextGov and Lookout

As federal agencies shift beyond perimeter defenses, cyber threats are evolving—targeting identity, data, and mobile devices at the front line of today’s attacks, which can now infiltrate systems and exfiltrate data in minutes rather than months. While Zero Trust provides the foundation for defense, starting with a simple mobile threat defense solution can break down modernization barriers. Learn how a mobile-first approach strengthens Zero Trust, accelerates modernization, and safeguards federal networks from the modern kill chain.

Fed Gov Today: Breaking Security Barriers to Government Modernization

Jim Coyle, U.S. Public Sector CTO at Lookout, discusses the challenges government agencies face in embracing mobility, cloud security, and AI. While modernization efforts are progressing, many organizations still struggle with security concerns, particularly around mobile devices, which are increasingly targeted by cyber threats. Coyle highlights the need for stronger public-private partnerships to accelerate secure digital transformation. He also shares the importance of understanding data sovereignty in AI and improving endpoint security to protect classified and unclassified information.

How to Use SSE to Achieve Compliance With Data Security Regulations

By 2028, more than 70% of workloads will be running in the cloud. Being in an always-online, ever-connected environment has a myriad of benefits, but it also brings its own risks. IT leaders and compliance experts must constantly question and re-evaluate their security postures, particularly when it comes to compliance. Violating regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS can have serious financial and legal implications, not to mention the damage to your reputation.

Is Your Inbox a Cybersecurity Risk?

In today’s flexible and fast-paced digital environment, email still remains the backbone of communication for many organizations. Employee email accounts are chock-full of sensitive information from intellectual property to customer data, which makes securing email servers crucial. Data leakage and unauthorized access not only disrupt operations and cost time and money to fix, but they can also damage an organization’s reputation.

The Modern Kill Chain - A defense in depth approach to cybersecurity

Cybercriminals continue to evolve their tactics to compromise your organization's security defenses. The modern approach is to start by targeting users on their mobile devices to steal their credentials. Learn how these cybercriminals have evolved their tactics, and how Lookout prevents and protects at each stage of the kill chain.
