Being in an era dominated by technological advancements, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into smartphones has become a crucial aspect of user experience. And Samsung has been at the forefront of this revolution with its Galaxy series.
One significant aspect that users prioritise is security. This article delves into the solid privacy and security features that support all the intelligent experiences Samsung’s Galaxy AI brings to users.
Our mobile devices have become our digital personal assistants that hold all our important, private and sensitive data from personal details to highly confidential banking information. For this reason, they need to be equipped with the necessary tools to ensure that all that information is safe and secure from prying eyes or wrong hands.
The recently launched Samsung Galaxy S24 series is not only unleashing new mobile experiences with Galaxy AI, but is also changing how mobile devices empower users by taking privacy and security to greater levels. With the dawn of mobile AI, the true next big thing is here with Galaxy AI. Galaxy AI is a comprehensive mobile AI experience, powered by both on-device AI developed at Samsung and cloud-based AI enabled by our open collaborations with like-minded industry leaders.
Galaxy has always been the trailblazer of innovation, and is continuing in that vein by paving the way for mobile AI, showing the world how with Galaxy AI in your hands, you can unleash creativity, productivity and open possibilities like never before, with a high level of security.
At the heart of Samsung’s commitment to security lies Knox, Galaxy’s defense-grade, multi-layer security platform that safeguards user data and privacy. As a result, the new Galaxy S24 protects` critical information against vulnerabilities with end-to-end secure hardware, real-time threat detection and collaborative protection.
Samsung’s long-standing commitment to provide users choice and control over their device continues in the era of AI. With its cutting-edge AI features, the new Galaxy S24 series gives users full control over the security of their devices and the level of protection against unauthorised access, malware or other potential threats. The camera platform, for instance, is designed to put users in control of how they capture and edit images. When enabled, new features can suggest ways of editing images to be optimal versions of what was captured. The images generated or edited using generative AI technology will be marked with a watermark on the image and metadata to ensure viewers are aware they have been manipulated.
The Knox Matrix vision of a secure, connected and password-less future is also advanced with passkeys. Passkeys enable convenient and secure access to a users’ registered websites and apps across all their trusted devices through digital credentials, helping protect against phishing attacks.
Enhanced Data Protection offers end-to-end encryption when users backup, sync or restore their data with Samsung Cloud, allowing Galaxy S24 users to connect to other devices while staying synchronised and secure. This ensures the data can only be encrypted or decrypted on a user’s devices, meaning nobody can see it but the user, even if a server is compromised or account details are stolen. And if access to a trusted device is lost, a recovery code can help prevent loss of data.
Samsung understands the importance of user awareness in maintaining a secure digital environment. Galaxy AI prioritises user communication privacy by ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential and protected. The Galaxy AI ecosystem is designed to keep users in the know about potential threats, safe online practices, and the importance of keeping their devices updated, which empowers them to take an active role in safeguarding their digital lives. Galaxy S24 is also protected with Samsung’s expansive list of innovative security and privacy features including Knox Vault, Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Secure Wi-Fi, Private Share, Maintenance Mode and more.
