Samsung has announced that it will implement a new Android security update process that fast tracks the security patches over the air when security vulnerabilities are uncovered. These security updates will take place regularly about once per month
Dong Jin Koh, Executive Vice President and Head of Mobile Research and Development Office, IT & Mobile Communications at Samsung, stated:
“With the recent security issues, we have been rethinking the approach to getting security updates to our devices in a more timely manner. Since software is constantly exploited in new ways, developing a fast response process to deliver security patches to our devices is critical to keep them protected.
We believe that this new process will vastly improve the security of our devices and will aim to provide the best mobile experience possible for our users.â€Â
Samsung is working out the details of how this new security patch process will work with its carrier partners around the world.
More details about specific models and timelines will be released soon.
