Today, McAfee announced the extension of its ten-year partnership with Samsung, enabling enhanced continued protection from online threats to consumers’ privacy, identity, and personal information.
From the Galaxy Store, users can download and use the McAfee Security app, which 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.
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 phones.
To further combat this concern in the age of AI, the latest Galaxy devices also come equipped with Advanced Intelligence settings (preventing server access will limit the functionality of some AI features), 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 confidently,” 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.”
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.
