Cross-functional mobile app development for a cybersecurity company

In the modern world, mobile devices are both our greatest asset and our biggest vulnerability. Threat actors have significantly evolved their tactics, now prioritizing iOS and Android devices as critical targets in their attack strategies. These mobile platforms have become integral components of the modern cyber kill chain, offering adversaries a potent vector for breaching organizational defenses.

Lookout's mobile security solution is engineered to address the full spectrum of mobile risks in today's threat landscape. It employs a multi-layered approach to protect against evolving threats. At its core, the solution effectively mitigates social engineering risks and credential theft by intercepting phishing attempts and executive impersonation messages. Additionally, Lookout identifies and manages potentially invasive mobile applications, particularly those with extensive permissions that may violate data compliance standards.

As cyber threats continue to make headway, Lookout needed to enhance and support its Lookout for Work application.

Globaldev Armenia team worked closely with Lookout's Product Manager to refine the application's overall direction and feature set. This collaboration involved providing support for writing more efficient user stories and implementing the latest changes to the Android application.

In addition to regular ongoing bug fixes, our team was tasked with a specific challenge: optimizing battery life on Android devices running Lookout's product. This involved a deep dive into the application's performance and its impact on device resources.

Throughout the project, Globaldev provided comprehensive development and optimization services. We offered strategic consultation to guide the application's evolution, leveraging our expertise in Android development to implement performance improvements. Our team also focused on creating more effective user stories, streamlining the development process and ensuring that new features aligned with user needs and expectations.
