SAMSUNG and KASPERSKY LAB Teams Up to Benefit Corporate Android Users in the Philippines

Samsung Android phone users, take advantage of the security being offered by Kaspersky Lab to protect your important data from cybercriminals!

Press Release:

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content and threat management solutions, announced a global partnership with Samsung to strengthen security among Samsung’s Android users to address the need of protection of the growing number of Android users in the Philippines from malicious software and other forms of cybercrime.

Kaspersky recently revealed that it has become a Golden Member of the Samsung Enterprises Alliance Program, a comprehensive program designed to provide differentiated benefits for sales, marketing and solutions development. Under this program, the systems integrator partners as well as the domestic and global independent software vendors such as Kaspersky could create new profit models through Samsung Electronics’ mobile solution business.


The program provides Kaspersky Lab an opportunity to supply Samsung Electronics products with its Kaspersky Mobile Security and Kaspersky Tablet Security. In particular, the application will be made available to private and corporate Android-based Samsung mobile devices.

The Kaspersky Mobile Security and Kaspersky Tablet Security are yet to be launched in the SEA region, but both products are available online.

Under another part of the program, Kaspersky Lab is to provide consumer security software to protect Samsung PCs, notebooks and netbooks running on Windows OS. For corporate products Kaspersky Lab is to supply Kaspersky Endpoint Security, different business models, and a flexible approach to achieve the best security for each corporate customer.

Kaspersky Lab ensures that their solutions for Samsung mobile devices are highest class of security based on advanced protection against privacy violation, device loss or theft, annoying calls and messages, as well as malicious software.


Commenting on the new partnership, Garry Kondakov, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Kaspersky Lab, says: “We are very glad to begin the new global partnership with Samsung Electronics and to take our cooperation to a whole new level. Our membership in the Samsung Enterprise Alliance Program will help us further develop our mobile solutions based on Samsung’s vast experience, and also expand the distribution of our solutions through Samsung Electronics' global network, improving our market positions on a global scale.”

Suk Ling Gun, Corporate Sales Director APAC, Kaspersky Lab, said that the partnership will strengthen the company’s presence in the smartphone and tablet PC market, such as in the Philippines, which continues to be a growth market for such devices.

"Filipinos are becoming more technologically savvy and are purchasing more feature-rich, Internet-enabled phones and devices. Such demand can also be noticed by cybercriminals who continue to target people for their confidential information, especially among corporate users whose information are stored in their smartphones and tablet PCs," she noted.

Gun also said that having Kaspersky Lab in their devices adds an extra layer of protection against cybercriminals and provides a high level of security for better customer experience.

“Working with Samsung Electronics has opened opportunities for us, especially in educating people on the risks of cybercrime through digital means. The Philippines will be an important market for Android-based devices in the coming years and we see more growth as we work with Samsung Electronics,” Gun said.
