Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has proudly announced that its trusted security solution, Samsung Knox, integrated into its 2024 TVs, has secured Common Criteria (CC) certification ahead of its product launch. This accreditation reaffirms Samsung Knox’s commitment to maintaining robust security integrity and efficiency, marking its tenth consecutive year of recognition.
The CC certification, recognized by 31 countries globally, serves as a prestigious benchmark for assessing the security integrity of IT products. Samsung’s achievement of CC certification for Samsung Knox for a decade underscores its dedication to enhancing security standards continually. This year, Samsung Knox sets an exemplary standard by obtaining validation before the 2024 TVs hit the consumer market.
Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, emphasized the significance of prioritizing customer privacy and security in an increasingly interconnected world. He expressed pride in Samsung’s accomplishment of 10 consecutive years of CC certification for Samsung Knox, attributing it to the company’s ongoing efforts to bolster security measures and standards.
The CC framework ensures stringent integrity evaluation standards for IT products, aiming to enhance evaluation efficiency and certification consistency. Samsung Knox successfully meets the Security Target and aligns with the Protection Profile, demonstrating adherence to CC standards.
Samsung Knox’s CC certification underscores three fundamental security features:
- Tizen OS Monitoring: Actively detects potential hacking threats in real-time, flagging unauthorized changes in critical Tizen OS sectors.
- Phishing Website Blocking: Verifies web pages accessed by users, preemptively blocking phishing sites to safeguard user data and privacy.
- Enhanced Personal Information Protection: Ensures seamless protection of sensitive personal data through a secure connection with Samsung Knox Vault, a dedicated processor for security functions.
