A revolutionary security solution for Samsung multi-device experiences – Samsung Global Newsroom



Today’s lifestyles are more connected than ever — from our smartphones to our smart homes, it’s easier than ever to do more with our devices. However, as our connectivity grows, so do our concerns about keeping the peace when using ecosystems of connected devices.

Recognizing that security and privacy are top priorities for its users, Samsung Electronics is taking its device security experience to the next level with the upcoming solution, Samsung Knox Matrix at this year’s Samsung Developer Conference (SDC).

A to Z: Understanding today’s device ecosystems

Samsung believes that protection must be collaborative, end-to-end and real-time, so our approach is constantly evolving to stay ahead of threats and protect our users. That’s why Samsung smart devices are protected by the Samsung Knox security platform, which provides defense-grade security certified for use by many top government agencies around the world.

Today, more than ever before, we can enjoy seamless connectivity and performance as we go about our daily tasks and routines, whether it’s completing a work task, enjoying a workout, or relaxing at the end of the day.

However, while the ecosystems of devices we use every day make things more convenient, one can never be completely free of concern about the potential security threats that exist simply because of the Internet connectivity of one’s devices. After all, if only one device is compromised, all others are at risk. Protecting multiple devices is the next front in the battle for security and privacy.

That’s why Samsung came up with Samsung Knox Matrix, a revolutionary concept for protecting multiple devices with next-level security.

Samsung Knox Matrix: Initiates device pairing

Samsung Knox Matrix will function as the user’s own private blockchain system, with your connected devices improving security through multi-layered mutual monitoring. To protect users’ smart home from unauthorized access and make the login process more convenient, Samsung Knox Matrix will share device-to-device credentials and protect sensitive information even between trusted devices. Whether your Samsung devices are based on Android, Tizen, or another operating system, Samsung Knox Matrix will be able to provide a unique security SDK. In addition, Samsung will continue to improve common security standards for various Samsung connected devices.

With Samsung Knox Matrix, we envision that users don’t have to compromise on their connectivity to stay protected. The Samsung Knox Matrix is ​​set to enable devices within the customer ecosystem to be less vulnerable through strong, diverse security practices.¹

With Samsung Knox Matrix on the back, the smartphone that is transmitted to the TV or connected to the air conditioner becomes more secure.
