Surojit Dasgupta has joined as the Country Manager India and SAARC in Lookout and will be overseeing the sales and marketing efforts in the region. Before this Surojit was heading Forescout as the Channel Director.
Surojit will be responsible for growing the Lookout business across the continent and building brand awareness about the value of the Lookout Security Platform.
Don Tan, VP Sales, APJ said on the appointment , India is an important growth market for Lookout. Surojit’s experience and expertise in the security industry makes him a natural fit for this position. He will work with our leadership team to define and execute a sales strategy for the region and build long-term relationships with our customers and channel partners.
The Lookout Security Platform is an integrated endpoint-to-cloud solution. Unlike, other secure access service edge (SASE) vendors, Lookout Security has built-in access control technologies and the ability to continuously assess telemetry from endpoints and secure infrastructure, says Don.
This means customers no longer need to purchase separate access or security tools. With an integrated solution that includes mobile endpoint security, cloud access security broker (CASB) and Zero Trust network access (ZTNA), organizations can streamline security operations, lower costs and eliminate security gaps.
Having telemetry of endpoints, users, apps and data means organizations have unprecedented visibility to detect anomalies and prevent breaches. With built-in assessment and access control capabilities, Lookout can dynamically enforce corporate policy on a granular level. For example, an organization can choose to deny download privileges and redact certain information when a user uses a device and network it does not control. The platform also enables organizations to proactively hunt for threats and investigate advanced cyberattacks.
The need for an integrated endpoint-to-cloud security solution has been accelerated by the proliferation of remote users, the adoption of cloud applications, data transitioning out of the corporate data center into the cloud, and more network traffic flowing to public cloud services.
Surojit Dasgupta spoke on his newer role that, “I am super excited to join Lookout. The company is uniquely positioned to deliver the industry’s first end-to-end platform that secures an organization’s entire data path from endpoint to cloud. With existing product development centres in Bangalore and Hyderabad, we have made a long term commitment with our employees, customers and partners in this subcontinent, and look forward to helping even more organizations secure their most sensitive data.”
Surojit further says on his key priorities for establishing and executing our regional go to market strategy for both direct sales and via our growing ecosystem of channel partners.
