Lookout Launches Social Engineering Protection Against AI Threats Lookout, Inc. has introduced a new module called Social Engineering Protection (SEP) within its Mobile AI Security Platform to counter AI-driven mobile threats such as linkless smishing and voice phishing (vishing). The SEP utilizes intent-driven AI, carrier-level phone verification, and synthetic voice analysis to provide real-time protection against sophisticated social engineering attacks. These attacks exploit mobile channels, where traditional security measures are ineffective, making it difficult for employees to distinguish between legitimate and malicious communications. The module analyzes SMS, voice calls, and messaging apps to detect and block impersonation attempts and malicious content. Lookout's Chief Product Officer, Praveen Mamnani, emphasized that legacy defenses are inadequate for the new landscape shaped by Frontier AI. The SEP aims to fill this gap by continuously assessing the authenticity of mobile interactions. The launch is part of a broader strategy to enhance mobile security as business communications increasingly shift to mobile platforms. 8 sources 44
