Lookout, Inc., the endpoint-to-cloud security company, today announced that London-based Lantum, a workforce platform company for healthcare organizations, has deployed Lookout Secure Cloud Access to help protect its sensitive data, minimize the risk of exposure and ensure compliance with privacy regulations. Using Lookout, Lantum can now see who is accessing their data and from where, providing its IT and compliance teams with better visibility and control.
Lantum’s workforce platform is used by more than 37,000 clinicians to support the staffing of over 3,000 healthcare organizations, including the U.K.’s National Health Service (NHS). As a heavy user of Google Workspace, Lantum was concerned about the risk of unauthorized access to information stored in Google Drive and wanted to be alerted to any downloads of sensitive data. With the deployment of Lookout Secure Cloud Access – Lookout’s cloud access security broker (CASB) solution – Lantum’s IT and compliance teams can now monitor the usage of its data across all apps and clouds, quickly enforce policies to restrict unauthorized access and ensure compliance. The implementation of Lookout Secure Cloud Access helps the company ensure compliance with regulations such as the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 27001 and the U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Essentials, enabling Lantum to continue as a supplier to the NHS, which is the core revenue driver of its business.
Lookout Secure Cloud Access protects data stored in all cloud and SaaS applications. Whether sharing the data externally with partners, or internally with employees, the solution provides IT with control and visibility to ensure an organization’s data stays protected at all times. With adaptive access and data security policies combined with advanced analytics, Lookout enables organizations to safeguard data against intentional insider threats, accidental data exfiltration, data leakage from compromised accounts and other advanced internet-based threats without minimizing user productivity.
U.K.-based Appurity, the cybersecurity and cross-platform mobility specialists, understand all of the requirements for Cyber Essentials accreditation and compliance with ISO. Appurity’s team supported Lantum in securing its critical documents and the perimeter. The ongoing support and management of Lookout’s platform by Appurity means that Lantum has the flexibility to alter policies and enhance its security posture and dynamics as they evolve.
“Cloud tools like Google Workspace and Amazon S3 have blurred the boundaries of how we work – more and more of our business is being accomplished on our employees’ mobile devices, which increases the risk of inappropriate data usage,” said Gary O’Connor, chief technology officer, Lantum. “Lookout Secure Cloud Access has given us complete visibility and control of our data while safeguarding it against cyber attacks and accidental data leakage.”
“In order to accomplish its mission, Lantum must have the right security strategy in place so that it can protect highly sensitive data, such as employee and clinician records, and ensure compliance with several cybersecurity and data standards such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials,” said Sundaram Lakshmanan, chief technology officer, Lookout. “With Lookout Secure Cloud Access, Lantum has seamless security across all cloud and SaaS apps with unified policies, trusted data security and validated standards compliance.”

Exabeam, a global cybersecurity leader and creator of New-Scale SIEM™ for advancing security operations, today announced a partnership with Google Cloud to help businesses with advanced threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) with its cloud-native portfolio of products.
Exabeam is one of the only cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) products running on Google Cloud. Qatar-based security teams can now purchase Exabeam to detect difficult-to-find threats, defend against cyberattacks, and defeat digital adversaries, while processing logs at sustained speeds of over one million events per second.
Exabeam launched its New-Scale SIEM in October 2022 to help worldwide security teams with advanced TDIR. Built on the cloud-native Exabeam Security Operations Platform, the New-Scale SIEM product portfolio is a powerful combination of cloud-scale security log management, industry-leading behavioral analytics, and an automated investigation experience.
The announcement follows the new Google Cloud region launch in Doha earlier in 2023, highlighting Google’s commitment to investing in the Middle East.
“This launch builds on the fantastic global partnership between Exabeam and Google Cloud,” said Richard Orange, VP, EMEA Sales, Exabeam. “Introducing our cloud-native portfolio in Qatar so soon after the launch of Google Cloud’s new region is a huge testament to our solutions and the trust our business partners have in us. With Qatar’s significant investment in digital transformation, cybersecurity clearly underpins many facets of Vision 2030. Exabeam can play a direct part in achieving this goal and helping security teams reap the operational benefits of Exabeam Fusion – a security product that efficiently solves TDIR without disrupting an organization’s existing technology stack.”
