Case Study: Global 2000 Bank achieves compliance and secures 9,000 Android devices with Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security

Global 2000 bank secures 9,000 Android smartphones to fulfill internal compliance requirements

Global 2000 Bank, a Forbes Global 2000 financial services firm with an international network of 1,400 branches, needed to secure its Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) Android fleet, integrate mobile protection with VMware AirWatch, and meet internal compliance and data‑protection requirements. To gain visibility into mobile threats and protect corporate apps, the bank selected Lookout and its Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security / Lookout For Work solution.

Lookout was deployed to roughly 9,000 Samsung Galaxy smartphones via AirWatch (peaking at about 2,000 pushes per day). Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security detected 16 trojans (including 5 Shedun), 37 root enablers, 91 man‑in‑the‑middle attacks, 172 riskware, 61 adware and 3 chargeware incidents, enabling compliance with internal endpoint policies, improved threat visibility, and no increase in support tickets as employees self‑remediated alerts. The bank is now moving to automate remediation using the Lookout–AirWatch integration to further reduce response time.
