There are lot of antivirus software available in the Google Play Store and Samsung is now looking to integrate an antivirus solution on its Android devices, according to a report by Wall Street Journal.
In a deal expected to be announced today at the Mobile Unpacked event, Samsung will allow users to integrate Lookout antivirus in their devices. However, this solution won’t be available to regular users but instead who use Knox – Samsung’s enterprise friendly solution for Galaxy devices.
Knox allows to use the same device for both personal and professional use and since security is of paramount importance, a Lookout add-on will be offered to Knox users.
Knox is Samsung’s solution that has been certified by the US Departmenf of Defense.
DingieM says
By the US Department of Defense? Well they are in cahoots with the NSA, THE spying organisation in the world. This literally means there will be spying backdoors implemented into Knox.
There is enough evidence that NSA not only uses special backdoors but also knows how to circumvent security protocols within Windows. Microsoft actually helps them with it.
So with Knox and Outlook, there is guaranteed spying, and highly probably opportunities for hacking.
