Protecting User Data: Samsung’s Secure Folder Solution for Cyber Security Threats in Indonesia

JawaPos.com – Based on data from the Indonesian Association of Internet Services Entrepreneurs (APJII), the growth of Internet users in Indonesia is increasing this year, reaching more than 221 million or about 79.5 per percent of the national population. As a result, data explosion cannot be avoided.

The problem is, data growth does not match the level of security. According to the National Cyber ​​Security Index ​​​​(NCSI), Indonesia’s score is 63.64 points on a scale of 100, still lower than Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

Secure Folder is one of the security features supported by Knox Vault, a multi-layered security platform for Galaxy devices capable of protecting sensitive user data.

“One of the very useful features for users is Secure Folder which is strong and supports the protection of user data and important applications easily, helping users worry-free when they ‘ doing digital activities,” said Ricky Bunardi, Senior Marketing Manager of MX Products, Samsung Electronics Indonesia in Jakarta.
