Samsung Electronics announced that its security solution, Samsung Knox, has received Common Criteria (CC) certification for monitors, extending its verified security coverage beyond smart TVs.
CC certification is an internationally recognized standard for evaluating the security of products that require data protection. It integrates multiple national evaluation frameworks into a unified system and enables mutual recognition across countries. Since 2015, Samsung has consistently obtained CC certification for its products, and with this latest achievement, it has become the first manufacturer to secure certification for both smart TVs and monitors.
The certification reflects Samsung’s efforts to expand its security capabilities across connected display devices. Previously focused on smart TVs, Samsung Knox is now applied to monitors, reinforcing security across a broader range of products.
Samsung Knox is designed to protect users from cyber threats such as hacking, particularly in environments requiring strong security, including AI-powered home control, voice recognition, and digital payment services.
The CC certification highlights several key features of Samsung Knox, including the System Integrity Monitor (SIM), which provides real-time kernel monitoring; Web Browser Security (WBS), which blocks phishing websites; and Unauthorized Execution Prevention (UEP), which prevents unauthorized actions through digital signature validation.
In addition, Samsung Knox incorporates a multi-layered security architecture. This includes TrustZone, a hardware-based secure environment; Knox Vault, which safeguards sensitive data; and Knox Matrix, which manages security across connected devices.
Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, said that as connected displays play a growing role in daily life and work, ensuring robust security has become increasingly important. He added that Samsung will continue to deliver consistent protection across its product lineup.
