Monitor device logs and network traffic for unusual activity related to Samsung Members app usage. 7. Coordinate with Samsung support channels for timely updates and vulnerability disclosures. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on app-specific controls, user awareness, and organizational policy enforcement.
