Samsung expected to include Lookout on future devices for increased enterprise security Sep 4th 2013, 05:57, by Andrew Martonik Another layer of security aimed at the enterprise could help BYOD efforts The idea of whether or not Android devices would benefit from third-party antivirus and security software is still being debated, but Samsung is potentially thinking it is a necessity. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Samsung is expected to announce that it has penned a deal with Lookout to have its antivirus software pre-installed on devices going forward. Indications are that the partnership with Lookout will span across all of Samsung's future devices, but the aim is to further its enterprise security rather than to protect average consumers. Building on its Samsung KNOX program, which works to silo enterprise data on personal devices, the inclusion of Lookout antivirus will potentially add yet another layer of security. Lookout definitely has a bit of brand equity with consumers of all kinds, and Samsung could potentially pick up a few more enterprise customers if it shows that it is actively working towards securing its devices. The deal is expected to be announced Wednesday, so we'll be keeping an eye out for more news from Samsung's IFA press conference. Source: WSJ
