Viasat revealed on Monday that its Mobile Dynamic Defense (MDD) cybersecurity software is available for the new Samsung Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition (TE) solution. Viasat’s MDD solution provides cyber protection, information assurance, and mobile management, as well as works in environments with limited and no network connectivity.

The Viasat MDD platform helps ensure that sensitive information from the Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. federal government,  and international Five Eye (FVEY) allied forces hosted on the Samsung Galaxy S20 TE device is monitored and protected, even if the device is disconnected from a military or government operations center.

Viasat Government Systems President Ken Peterman commented: “By embedding Viasat’s MDD cybersecurity platform into the Samsung Galaxy S20 Tactical Edition we are ensuring today’s military personnel, government leaders and high profile business executives are securely connected and ‘mission-ready.’ Our integrated mobile cyber-defense solution enables missions to be completed without the fear of jeopardizing confidential military or government policy, proprietary information or device integrity. Viasat MDD is a critical capability proven to protect device users—whether remote, local or connected to a live network—by allowing them to provision and configure their device as their mission changes.”
