Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced today that Samsung Knox, its trusted security solution integrated into its 2024 TVs, has obtained Common Criteria (CC) certification prior to the product launch.

The CC certification serves as a globally recognized benchmark, acknowledged by 31 countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United States, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ethiopia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, New Zealand, Pakistan, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom, for assessing the security integrity of IT products. Samsung has achieved 10 consecutive years of CC certification for Samsung Knox, establishing it as a premier security solution for its TVs, with continuous improvement year after year. This year, Samsung Knox showcases its global security excellence with validation before the 2024 TVs are released to consumers on the market.

Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, emphasized the importance of privacy and security in customers’ daily lives. He stated, “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. With this in mind, we’re proud to have achieved 10 consecutive years of CC certification for Samsung Knox on our TVs, based on the continual strengthening of our security measures and standards.”

The CC sets consistent and rigorous integrity evaluation standards for IT products and continually enhances the efficiency of evaluation and certification processes. By improving evaluation methods and maintaining consistent standards, the CC aims to enhance confidence in the security of certified IT products. The CC certification consists of a Protection Profile (PP) and a Security Target (ST), both of which Samsung Knox has successfully met, meeting the standards for CC certification.

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

  • Tizen OS Monitoring: Samsung Knox actively detects potential hacking threats in real-time, flagging any unauthorized 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 phishing sites to safeguard user data and privacy.
  • Enhanced Personal Information Protection: Samsung Knox ensures seamless protection of users’ sensitive personal data through a secure connection with Samsung Knox Vault, a dedicated processor for security functions.[ Exclusive to QN900D and QN800D models. ]
