McAfee Extends Partnership with Samsung
to Safeguard Samsung PCs, Galaxy S8 Smartphones and Smart TVs Worldwide

New Collaborations Allow Consumers to
Connect with Confidence using McAfee Protection

Singapore
– May 9, 2017 –
McAfee today announced further collaboration with Samsung to provide
pre-installed security software protection on Samsung Smart TVs, Samsung PCs,
and the Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone line worldwide. 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.”

“By 2022,
households in Asia Pacific are tipped to be the biggest adopters of smart home
technologies and it is of the utmost importance that consumers know how they
can properly secure their own homes and connected devices against cyber
attacks,” said David Freer, vice president, consumer, Asia Pacific, McAfee.
“With the evolving threat landscape and the adoption of smart home technologies
growing at exponential levels to attract the attention of hackers, it is
paramount that we educate and enable consumers in Asia by providing
solutions that are already built-in into smart home products to make their
journey to living in a secure home as seamless as possible.”

According
to a recent McAfee survey, nearly
44% of consumers are worried about their personal financial information being
stolen while 38% are worried about identity theft. These consumer fears
underscore the need for robust cross-device security. McAfee protection
addresses growing concerns like these across multiple devices.

               
“As the connected world of devices continues to expand into consumers’ homes,
Samsung users can feel comfortable knowing that their devices are protected
with the latest security solutions,” said Henry Lee, VP of Mobile Security
Technologies, and the Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics.
“We understand the importance of building security in devices from the start
and are proud to offer solutions that provide convenience while keeping our
customers safe.”
