Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security connector with Intune

You can control mobile device access to corporate resources based on risk assessment conducted by Lookout, a Mobile Threat Defense solution integrated with Microsoft Intune. Risk is assessed based on telemetry collected from devices by the Lookout service including:

• Operating system vulnerabilities
• Malicious apps installed
• Malicious network profiles

You can configure Conditional Access policies based on Lookout's risk assessment enabled through Intune compliance policies for enrolled devices, which you can use to allow or block noncompliant devices to access corporate resources based on detected threats. For unenrolled devices, you can use app protection policies to enforce a block or selective wipe based on detected threats.

How do Intune and Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security help protect company resources?

Lookout's mobile app, Lookout for work, is installed and run on mobile devices. This app captures file system, network stack, and device and application telemetry where available, then sends it to the Lookout cloud service to assess the device's risk for mobile threats. You can change risk level classifications for threats in the Lookout console to suit your requirements.

• Support for enrolled devices - Intune device compliance policy includes a rule for Mobile Threat Defense (MTD), which can use risk assessment information from Lookout for work. When the MTD rule is enabled, Intune evaluates device compliance with the policy that you enabled. If the device is found noncompliant, users are blocked access to corporate resources like Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. Users also receive guidance from the Lookout for work app installed in their devices to resolve the issue and regain access to corporate resources. To support using Lookout for work with enrolled devices:

  • Add MTD apps to devices
  • Create a device compliance policy that supports MTD
  • Enable the MTD connector in Intune

• Support for unenrolled devices - Intune can use the risk assessment data from the Lookout for work app on unenrolled devices when you use Intune app protection policies. Admins can use this combination to help protect corporate data within a Microsoft Intune protected app, Admins can also issue a block or selective wipe for corporate data on those unenrolled devices. To support using Lookout for work with unenrolled devices:

  • Add the MTD app to unenrolled devices
  • Create a Mobile Threat Defense app protection policy
  • Enable the MTD connector in Intune for unenrolled devices
