Lookout acquires SaferPass to provide robust password management capabilities

Lookout, Inc., a  provider of endpoint and cloud security solutions, is acquiring SaferPass, a password management company that provides secure online identity solutions for both consumers and businesses.

By adding password management technology to its suite of security solutions, Lookout is expanding on its mission to deliver proactive protection and safeguard customer data for individuals and businesses, according to the vendor.

SaferPass delivers a robust, innovative solution for identity and password management to both consumers and businesses, enabling users to securely manage their passwords, banking, and other sensitive information across devices.

The SaferPass solution provides an encrypted digital vault that stores secure login information used to access services through mobile apps and web browsers.

In addition to keeping a user’s identity, credentials and sensitive data safe, the product helps create strong, unique passwords through a password generator tool that ensures the individual is not using the same password in multiple places and that their password has not been compromised in a previous breach.

“We are pleased to welcome the SaferPass team to Lookout, and excited to combine our respective solutions to deliver better value to consumers and businesses alike,” said Jim Dolce, Lookout CEO. “Today, every password owned by an employee is a potential access point to organizations both small and large. At the same time, large scale data breaches have leaked billions of consumer emails and passwords on the dark web, putting individuals at risk of identity theft and financial fraud. The SaferPass team shares our vision for providing seamless security solutions that address all access points and protect personal and corporate data wherever it may reside. This is an exciting next step in Lookout’s evolution.”  

The acquisition of SaferPass broadens the Lookout portfolio of security solutions and expands the opportunity for its carrier ecosystem and channel partners—it also expands Lookout’s footprint in Central Europe through its new location in Bratislava, Slovakia.

SaferPass will now operate under the Lookout brand and leadership and the SaferPass team will be fully integrated into the Lookout organization. The financial terms of this transaction have not been disclosed.
