By collaborating with Bitdefender, which is recognized globally for its cybersecurity solutions, Primetel aims to ensure that its GIGA Unlimited 5G customers can browse, bank, and communicate with confidence, knowing their mobile devices are protected by top-tier technology.
The increasing reliance on smartphones for daily activities such as communication, online shopping, and banking has made digital security a pressing concern. Ciprian Istrate, Senior Vice President of Operations at Bitdefender, noted that mobile devices are becoming prime targets for cybercriminals due to their integral role in users’ digital lives. He expressed optimism about the partnership, stating, "Together with Primetel, we’re making advanced mobile security more accessible to customers across Cyprus, empowering them to stay protected wherever they connect."

This package safeguards up to five devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and PCs across various operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Additionally, parental control features are available, providing families with tools to monitor and protect their children's online activities.
