This integrated platform from Samsung Electronics provides layers of security at the hardware and software level to the South Korean brand’s devices, shielding the privacy and confidentiality of its users’ data and files.
Online vulnerability, the one that allows someone to illegally access a bank user profile or hack an account on social networks, is a weakness that affects all users due to the constant flow of information. Galaxy Knox offers a high-tech security shield that shields equipment and minimizes dangers such as cyber attacks, viruses, and data leaks, among others.
protected to the maximum
The security layers provided by Samsung Knox at the hardware and software level:
From the chip: Malicious programs or code can enter the device and reach the chip. Knox is able to protect it in order to block possible intrusions; physically isolating sensitive data such as PINs, passwords, biometric authentication records, and strategic keys.
Real-time Kernel Protection: On or off, the device is always active and therefore needs to function in a safe state; Knox blocks in real time, without pauses, all unauthorized access.
Protection from boot: Secure Boot is a security mechanism that prevents the use of unauthorized boot loaders and kernels during the computer startup process; activating an auditing process to detect and identify unauthorized changes or anomalies, and if found, runs e-fuse and changes the status of the Samsung smartphone, tablet or device, from “Official” to “Custom”, indicating that the system operative is different from the official one.
Secure folders: Samsung Knox offers an ecosystem of applications for the separate and encrypted storage of your personal, work or business digital data, and the possibility of accessing both spaces at the same time with fluidity, security and without the need to restart the device.
TrustZone: Using the TrustZone feature, Samsung Knox protects sensitive information by isolating it from the main operating system. In this way, cryptographic and biometric data is never exposed to the Android operating system or public applications.
Only with the footprint: access to the folders is opened with the fingerprint that is digitized and constitutes the only “key” of entry.
Against root access: With Samsung Defex, unauthorized applications are prevented from modifying the system.
Encryption: devices with Knox come encrypted from the factory. In the event that a computer falls into the hands of someone without the owner’s consent and has been stolen, it will be impossible for you to access the authentication screen.
In connection with Samsung Health: In tune with this application, the Knox platform can protect the data generated by monitoring health indicators.
