Samsung Galaxy devices now come equipped with McAfee's patented and
powerful AI-powered scam protection technology that safeguards against
the surge in AI-generated phishing scams.
McAfee expands online
protection for Samsung Galaxy mobile devices, including access to McAfee
Security with McAfee Scam Protection™.
Decade-long partnership extended to include AI-powered McAfee Security in the Samsung Galaxy Store in 98 markets.
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- Today, McAfee Corp., a global leader in online protection,
announced the extension of its ten-year partnership with Samsung,
enabling enhanced protection for online threats to consumers’ privacy,
identity and personal information.
Now, Samsung mobile devices,
including the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy Tab S9
series, Galaxy Z Flip6, and Galaxy Z Fold6, come with the Galaxy Store
pre-installed. This is where users can download and use the McAfee
Security app* that includes McAfee Scam Protection™, the company's
patented AI technology that automatically identifies and alerts you if
it detects a dangerous URL in your text messages. It also proactively
blocks risky sites if you accidentally click on a scam link in a text,
email, social media post, and more.
In addition to being
available on consumer Galaxy phones and tablets, McAfee Security is now
available for purchase for existing customers in 98 markets via the
Galaxy Store. Consumers can easily buy and install the app on their
Samsung mobile device, ensuring uninterrupted online protection. This is
particularly important at a time when, with the rise of AI,
cybercriminals are creating more convincing, personalized scams at
scale, making it harder than ever for consumers to know what content to
trust: 50% of mobile phone users say AI has made it harder for them to
spot online scams and 39% of respondents admit to having clicked on text
scam messages, such as a suspicious text from an unknown number or a
fake package delivery text.**
These capabilities also help
address key consumer concerns: according to McAfee’s recent Mobile
Threat Survey, 90% of people globally are concerned about protecting
their online privacy and identity when using their mobile phone. To
further combat this concern in the age of AI, the latest Galaxy devices
also come equipped with Advanced Intelligence settings***, giving users
full control over how much they allow their data to enhance AI
experiences by disabling online data processing.
"Our continued
partnership with Samsung helps us do what matters most: protect more
people so they can live their lives online with confidence," said Pedro
Gutierrez, Senior Vice President at McAfee. "With the introduction of
Samsung's new mobile AI experience and McAfee's continued focus on using
AI to fight against AI scams, we’re thrilled to continue our
partnership."
Samsung Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S24
series, Galaxy Tab S9 series, Galaxy Z Flip6, and Galaxy Z Fold6, now
offer McAfee Security with McAfee Scam Protection™ available at a
special price through the pre-installed Galaxy Store app. This wide
range of available devices with McAfee online protection solutions helps
give users comprehensive protection against evolving online threats.
