Galaxy AI is built to understand what you need before you even ask, whether that’s suggesting a change in your routine or pulling up just the right information at the right time.

This level of personalization can be incredibly helpful, but the more your phone knows, the more there is to protect. So, what’s keeping all that personal data secure?

Samsung believes there is no privacy without strong security. That’s why every Galaxy device is protected from the chip up by a multi-layered approach, which includes on-device personalization, user-controlled cloud processing, and ecosystem-wide protection through Samsung Knox Matrix.

At the core of this system is Samsung Knox Vault, the company’s hardware-based solution for safeguarding your most sensitive information.

Secured at the Hardware Level

Most mobile devices rely solely on software to protect sensitive data. Galaxy devices go further.

Knox Vault is a hardware-level security solution that creates a physical barrier between your most private information and everything else. It works like a locked room inside your phone, with its own processor and memory to encrypt sensitive data, with Knox Vault securing the keys. It pairs a secure processor with dedicated memory, isolating your passwords, PINs, biometrics, as well as financial information and cryptographic keys. These are the kinds of details you don’t want anyone else to access, and Knox Vault is built to make sure they stay private. You don’t need to activate or manage it, as it’s always on, working silently in the background, keeping your data safe while you get on with your day.

This is particularly crucial in the age of AI as user concerns are expanding from traditional cybersecurity threats, like viruses and malware, to worries over leaking personal data, such as conversations with your AI assistant. And as AI becomes part of more everyday tasks, the types of data that need protection are also expanding.

For example, metadata from your most personal photos not only details the resolution and file format but also shows the exact location where the image was taken. This personal metadata is more than just files — it’s information that is deeply connected to your daily life. And in the era of AI, these types of data used to provide personalized suggestions needs to be kept private.

Knox Vault helps mitigate these growing concerns by safely storing personal information in a secure, hardware-isolated environment designed to block both physical tampering and remote attacks, ensuring your data can’t be accessed without approval.

Personalized AI, Protected at the Core

Knox Vault not only provides protection for today’s threats, it also ensures your privacy as mobile experiences continue to evolve.

As Galaxy AI becomes more useful, it also becomes more personal, learning how you use your device and adapting to your needs. And because these highly tailored AI experiences rely on deeply personal data, Knox Vault plays a crucial role in keeping that information private and secured.

Galaxy AI ensures privacy by processing tasks directly on-device where possible, keeping data in your hands and off online servers. For example, Audio Eraser, removes background noise from videos or voice recordings without the need for any cloud-based processing — so your personal information stays private. Call Transcript operates in the same way, keeping your calls organized while ensuring personal conversations stay private by remaining on-device.

Knox Vault ensures your data is protected, confidential, and secure. Building on its role in Galaxy AI as the trusted foundation for security and privacy, Knox Vault will expand across Samsung’s growing AI ecosystem as AI becomes more deeply integrated into the user experience.

Knox Vault is more than a security feature, it’s Galaxy’s promise that no matter how advanced your devices become, or how much AI evolves, your privacy is secured.

Dangerous Times

It’s hard to imagine a better time for cyber-criminals. The conditions are ideal right now for anyone with ill intentions and technical know-how.

A rise in remote workers means more reliance on unsecure public Wi-Fi. New frontiers like the blockchain leave confused customers ripe for scams. Cyber-attacks are on the rise. And not just where you expect them. Recent wars have started with digital attacks on critical infrastructure, months before physical incursion.

All this when we are putting more of our lives into our smartphones. They are our wallets, our house keys and our IDs. A single intrusion can be devastating, so now more than ever we need our devices to be secure. Let’s examine what truly makes a device safe — so that you can go out into the world and live freely, without worrying about your data getting into the wrong hands.

What Security Is… and What It Isn’t

By now you’re likely thinking you’re fine, because you’re sensible. But there are many common misconceptions about security. You don’t let apps share your name, email, or habits. You even disable app tracking permissions. Great, but that doesn’t mean your data’s safe. Please don’t confuse privacy for security. Closing your curtains will do no good if someone kicks your door down. You think you have chosen a safe mobile ecosystem, one akin to a walled garden. But hackers adapt to their targets. Unsecure Wi-Fi, social engineering scams — these are threats regardless of what ecosystem you use.

You don’t open suspicious attachments. Great, but there are ‘zero-click’ attacks, which compromise a device without user interaction. That happened with Pegasus, spyware that exploited a flaw in a popular messaging system. All it took was for users to receive a message, and the hackers got in. Feeling safer than you are leads to complacency — that’s what cyber-criminals are counting on.

It’s unsettling to think that there are so many threats and no safe harbor. But that’s what inspires our work on Samsung Knox, our industry-leading, defense-grade security platform approved by many governments around the world. We achieved that level of trust through a holistic, multi-layered approach to protection: open collaboration, hardware and software integrated security and real-time protection.

Trust Through Collaboration

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my work with INTERPOL, it is that we are stronger and safer if we work with each other. Trust is built through open collaboration. That’s one of the great advantages of the Android ecosystem. Anyone can have access to the source code of Android OS, which allows it to be strengthened collectively. It allows some of the biggest names in tech to check and challenge each other — and work together to step up their game.

Samsung prides itself on this open model of partnership and collaboration, on top of our internal work to constantly strengthen our systems. That’s why we have worked closely with Google and have regular security issue meetings to share all threat data with each other. We also work with hundreds of partners to standardize security for Android.

Samsung Galaxy devices themselves also benefit from a wide community of people who understand our ecosystem. We work with academics and white hat hackers through our Mobile Security Rewards Program to identify and patch potential vulnerabilities through our regular security updates, and have awarded over $3.5 million worth of bounties to reward them for their valuable collaboration.

This way, we can better identify flaws or even predict them before they become problematic. More eyes, more heads, better solutions. Opening our ecosystem has not led to more vulnerabilities, but to greater and more diverse security practices.

An Integrated End-to-End Approach

It’s not just about software. We keep our watchful eye on each component from the processor up — we can do that as a leading global company that designs and manufactures its own products. You’re secure from day one thanks to security-specific hardware and isolated software integrated across our portfolio and supply chain. That’s why we can be confident in the integrity of our devices: end-to-end protection at all levels of the mobile experience, from the chips inside to the apps you use.

As the world opens back up, there are new risks to look out for. This is why we recently took things to the next level with Knox Vault, which combines the Secure Processor with a new Secure Memory Chip, to isolate the most critical information (such as PINs, passwords, biometrics, digital certificates and cryptographic keys) from the rest of the device to make sure it never gets into the wrong hands. For example, if a major security risk is detected on the device, Samsung Knox will lock down sensitive services such as Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass to keep your data as it should be: for your eyes only.

Protection at All Times

If you’re anything like me, you rarely turn your phone off. That’s how some people get in trouble: some companies believe it’s enough to run security verification only when the phone boots up. That’s why we defend your mobile experience even after the boot up stage. Attackers never rest, so why should we?

We are committed to offering you real-time protection. After booting, our Real-Time Kernel Protection (RKP) and Defeat Exploit (DEFEX) technologies continuously work to detect and prevent suspicious or unauthorized changes to the permissions you have given. We monitor threats constantly and even have an Incident Response and Management team in place, which uses machine learning to predict future threats.

And while a lot of people buy new phones every year, many like to hold on to their phones for longer periods. That’s why we release regular security updates to patch any vulnerabilities, for up to five years after the launch of your device. In this ever-changing landscape of cyber-security, people who want to use their phones for as long as possible should be as safe as those with the latest models.

The Privacy You Want, The Security You Need

Put it all together and you have a mobile experience secure enough for world leaders. This is a foundation of security built with open collaboration and industry validation, backed up by the toughest hardware and software protections we’ve ever created. This is the security you need.

Only with that comprehensive security in place can anyone truly offer privacy that is as transparent as it is tailored to your priorities. What you do with that privacy is your choice. You’re free to create your own mobile experience exactly as you like it, knowing we’ll always be there to keep you safe.

The world is more connected than ever, and there are more risks. But there are also more opportunities. Our priority is to keep you protected while you explore new experiences. With Samsung Galaxy, you’re free to live your life — with the privacy you want and the security you need.
