Samsung Knox Receives CC Certification for High Security Standards on 2024 TVs

Certification illustrates Samsung Knox’s commitment to high security integrity and efficiency for tenth consecutive year

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that Samsung Knox, the security solution integrated into its 2024 TV range, has achieved Common Criteria (CC) certification ahead of product launch.

The CC certification stands as a global benchmark, acknowledged by 31 countries[1] worldwide, for assessing the security integrity of IT products. This year, Samsung Knox demonstrates its global security excellence with validation before the 2024 TVs are available to consumers on the market.

“As our daily lives become even more connected, Samsung understands the fundamental need that customers have for the privacy and security of their personal information,” said Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.

The CC exists to help ensure consistent and rigorous integrity evaluation standards for IT products and continues to help improve the efficiency of evaluation and certification. With improved evaluation and consistent standards, the CC aims to bolster confidence in the security of certified IT products. The CC certification comprises a Protection Profile (PP) and a Security Target (ST). Samsung Knox has successfully met the Security Target and achieved the standards for the CC.

The CC certification underscores three core security features of Samsung Knox:

• Tizen OS Monitoring: Samsung Knox can help detect potential threats in real-time, flagging any unauthorised changes in critical sectors of Tizen OS, the core of Samsung TVs.
• Phishing Website Blocking: Samsung Knox verifies web pages accessed by users, preemptively blocking any potential phishing sites to help safeguard user data and privacy.
• Enhanced Personal Information Protection: Samsung Knox can help ensure seamless protection of users’ sensitive personal data through a connection with Samsung Knox Vault, a dedicated processor for security functions
