[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Pyeonghwa] Samsung Electronics announced on the 22nd that its smart TV models, including Neo QLED 4K and QLED 4K, have met the Consumer IoT (Internet of Things) device security standards set by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and have obtained security-related certification from the German testing and certification body, Technischer ?berwachungsverein (T?V).

The Consumer IoT device security standards were established to protect consumers from threats such as hacking occurring in various IoT devices. Samsung smart TVs have passed Europe’s rigorous information security tests and certification procedures, proving that they are products capable of protecting consumers from cybersecurity exposure.

The certified products this time include 224 models from the 2022 Neo QLED 4K and QLED 4K series. This applies to models Q70B, Q80B, QN85B, QN90B, and QN95B sold throughout Europe, including Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Samsung Electronics emphasized that as smart TVs become more widespread and the number of smart devices connected to the internet increases, IoT-related cybersecurity is emerging as an essential element for personal information protection. Since launching its first smart TV in 2008, Samsung has applied various security technologies to ensure consumers can use features such as SmartThings and Smart Hub safely.

Kim Yongjae, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business Division, said, "The strict cybersecurity standard certification in Europe demonstrates Samsung TV’s technological superiority," adding, "We will continue to strive to thoroughly protect consumers from cybersecurity risks and exposures and expand the range of certified products."
