Samsung Electronics has obtained the Common Criteria (CC) international certification for its proprietary security solution applied to its 2026 Smart TVs and Smart Monitors.

On March 25, Samsung Electronics announced that the security solution applied to its 2026 Smart TVs and Smart Monitors has received Common Criteria (CC) certification. The CC certification is an international standard that evaluates the security of products requiring information protection, and it is recognized by 36 countries worldwide through mutual recognition agreements.

Since 2015, Samsung Electronics has applied its proprietary security solution, Samsung Knox, to its Smart TVs and has received CC certification for 12 consecutive years as of this year. Additionally, this year, the company became the first in the industry to obtain CC certification for smart monitors, further demonstrating its industry-leading security performance.

This certification was awarded after a rigorous verification of the core security capabilities of Samsung Knox applied to Samsung Smart TVs and Smart Monitors. The verification items included: ▲ 'SIM (System Integrity Monitor)' that monitors the integrity of the kernel area in real-time ▲ 'WBS (Web Browser Security)' that blocks access to phishing sites when using web browsers ▲ 'UEP (Unauthorized Execution Prevention)' that verifies the signature of executable files to block unauthorized execution.

In addition, Samsung Knox provides a robust security environment through a multi-layered security architecture, including ▲ 'TrustZone,' a hardware-based independent security area ▲ 'Knox Vault,' which protects sensitive information separately within a security chip ▲ 'Knox Matrix,' which integrally manages the security status across devices. Knox Vault is applied to the 'Neo QLED 8K' as well as the M9 and M8 monitors, while Knox Matrix is applied to all TV and monitor models released after 2024.

Tae-yong Son, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, stated, "This certification recognizes that Smart TVs and Smart Monitors equipped with Samsung Knox provide the highest level of security environment," adding, "We will continue to proactively respond to the evolving digital environment and further advance our security technologies to ensure customers can use our products with confidence."
