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.
