Yes, that headline can be a bit confusing – but it is true. In a report released, McAfee has signed on to extend their malware coverage to more Samsung devices, which now includes the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung SmartTV lineup worldwide.
According to McAfee, nearly 44% of consumers are worried about their personal financial information being stolen while 38% are worried about identity theft. With this collaboration, McAfee is delivering on its vision to provide protection for connected devices.
“Protecting every connected device in your home is absolutely essential today,” said John Giamatteo, executive vice president, consumer business group, McAfee. “That’s because if one device is attacked, it puts your entire home network at risk. While that level of protection might sound like a lot of effort, McAfee makes sure that it’s easy. We believe there is power in working with partners like Samsung to build world-class security into devices like smart TVs, PCs, and smartphones so that these devices are protected right out of the box.”
The McAfee software is available in new Samsung Galaxy S8 boxed units, while the software for the Samsung Smart TVs will first roll out in the US, and more countries to be added to the list in the upcoming months.
