Bitdefender and CKH IOD Expand Partnership to Protect Drei Austria Customers

Bitdefender and CKH Innovations Opportunities Development (CKH IOD) have recently announced they are expanding their cybersecurity partnership to bring advanced protection to Drei Austria customers.

A subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited (Hong Kong), and part of the 3Group Europe’s division “3Scandinavia & Austria“, Drei Austria is a leading Austrian telecommunication provider that offers mobile communication, internet, fixed line, TV and business solutions from a single source. In addition to the biggest network of branded stores by an Austrian telecommunications provider and an encompassing customer service for residential and business customers, Drei pursues the goal of making digitalization available and affordable for everyone in Austria.

Bringing security and peace of mind to new markets

The launch builds on the success of previous collaborations between Bitdefender and CKH IOD in the UK and Italy and marks an important step forward in helping Austrian consumers stay safer online.

“Our partnership with Bitdefender empowers us to deliver trusted, advanced protection that strengthens the digital safety of our customers,” said Günter Lischka, CCO at Drei Austria, while Francesco Zampini, Director of Devices and Digital Products & Services at CKH IOD, noted that: “With this launch, we are proud to complete another milestone through our European rollout demonstrating our commitment to protecting our customers across all platforms, empowering them to navigate the digital world with confidence and peace of mind.”

Protection made easy

By integrating the Bitdefender Subscriber Protection Platform Solutions, Drei now offers customers powerful protection for both computers and mobile devices against malware, phishing, identity theft, and online scams.

A recent Bitdefender global survey found that while most people use their mobile phones for sensitive tasks like banking or healthcare, almost half don’t use any type of security. Coupled with the fact that, driven by AI-powered scams, new types of online frauds and new malware strains, cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated by the day this means that users, their devices, personal data and finances are more exposed than ever.

Through this partnership, Drei aims to close that gap. Besides offering award-winning protection, the Bitdefender OneApp also makes it easy for customers to manage all their security tools in one place by offering simple to use, effective protection that works on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices. Drei is also focused on protecting more than just individual users. Through its community plans, security can be extended to family members and connected households, ensuring everyone is protected, whether at home or on the go.
