Case Study: Leading healthcare provider prevents mobile data compromise and secures PHI with Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security

Leading healthcare provider deploys Lookout to protect against data compromise on mobile

Leading Healthcare Provider, a top-five U.S. health system, faced auditor recommendations to add technical safeguards for PHI and EHR on mobile devices after identifying risks from app-based threats and data leakage. Although they used MobileIron for EMM, manual blacklisting proved unsustainable given the volume and frequency of app updates, so they selected Lookout and its Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security to address these gaps.

Lookout deployed Mobile Endpoint Security on 5,000 managed iOS devices used by visiting nurses and home health workers, delivering superior malware detection, detailed visibility into app behaviors, and a better end-user experience. Lookout enabled custom policies to block apps that access sensitive data (for example, preventing apps from reading patient contact records), eliminated time-consuming manual app reviews, and helped the organization strengthen HIPAA compliance while preparing to extend protection to legacy apps and additional devices.
