Lookout extended its mobile security platform today with the launch of Lookout AI Visibility & Governance, a mobile-native solution designed to provide organizations with the visibility needed to discover, govern, and secure AI adoption across their mobile ecosystem. By extending AI agent discovery and policy control into the mobile environment, Lookout provides a missing layer of visibility, enabling organizations to identify "Shadow AI" activity on mobile devices, detect unauthorized agent behavior, and enforce policy where traditional controls have no reach.

Quick Intel

  • Nearly 60% of surveyed organizations cannot monitor AI activity on mobile devices.

  • 68% lack visibility into workflows and permissions of autonomous AI agents on users' devices.

  • 72% cannot identify AI SDKs embedded in apps employees use.

  • Provides real-time inventory of all AI apps across corporate and BYOD devices.

  • Generates audit-ready evidence aligned to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001.

  • Lookout backed by 15+ years of specialized mobile security expertise.

Bridging the Mobile AI Governance Gap

AI adoption is accelerating faster than most organizations can see or control, especially on mobile devices, where AI activity often operates outside traditional corporate boundaries and remains largely invisible. A recent survey of CISOs and senior security leaders commissioned by Lookout highlights the magnitude of the challenge. Nearly 60% of surveyed organizations cannot monitor AI activity on mobile devices, leaving the majority of mobile AI activity operating in the shadows. 68% of surveyed organizations lack visibility into the workflows and permissions of autonomous AI agents on users' devices. 72% cannot identify AI Software Development Kits (SDKs) embedded in the apps their employees use.

Key Features and Benefits

Lookout AI Visibility & Governance acts as a strategic force multiplier across Lookout's mobile security platform, extending protection from the device to the AI activity occurring on it. Key features include comprehensive AI App Discovery & Shadow AI Visibility for real-time inventory of all AI apps across corporate and BYOD devices; Agentic Behavior Monitoring to continuously analyze AI-driven behavior and map permissions; Intelligent Data Guardrails & Policy Enforcement to prevent sensitive data from reaching unsanctioned AI services; and Automated Compliance Alignment to generate audit-ready evidence aligned to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001.

As Jim Dolce, CEO of Lookout, stated: "AI adoption is accelerating faster than most organizations can see or control, especially on mobile devices, where AI activity often operates outside traditional corporate boundaries and remains largely invisible. With the launch of Lookout AI Visibility & Governance, we're closing that gap, giving organizations the ability to see, understand, and govern AI usage at the mobile layer, bringing mobile AI activity out of the shadows into full visibility and control."

Mark Child, Associate Research Director at IDC, added: "While monitoring and control over AI deployment on laptops and within the corporate network is rightly growing, monitoring of AI usage on mobile platforms lags far behind. This situation can create increased risk due to the lack of visibility and control over AI usage in the mobile domain."
