Dubai, UAE: With the rapid adoption of cloud across the region, especially due to the dramatic growth in remote working, organizations need to protect their data and IT systems from cloud-based threats more than ever. Gartner forecasts that over the next five years, the SASE market will grow at a CAGR of 42%, reaching almost $11 billion by 2024.[1] In addition, Gartner predicts that spending on Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solutions will grow 40.7% in 2021, 36.7% in 2022 and 33.2% in 2023, outpacing all other information security markets.[2]      

To address customer challenges related to cloud security including cloud access, discovery, monitoring, data protection, policy enforcement and compliance, CyberKnight has signed a partnership agreement with Lookout, an integrated endpoint-to-cloud security company to distribute its products in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The Lookout Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution delivers the market’s leading approach to integrated Mobile Endpoint Security, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB).                                        

Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security Lookout was named a leader for the third year in a row in the 2020 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Mobile Threat Management Software, and a representative vendor for the fifth year in a row in the 2021 Gartner Market Guide for Mobile Threat Defense.
