Who would have thought that there would come a day when data protection for your smartphone would be applied the same to your TV?
Yes, your TV also needs protection for your personal information. Advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have led to the integration of different digital devices connected by the Internet of Things (IoT).
For example, now someone can manage and monitor the usage patterns of various home appliances at home such as televisions, washing machines, ovens, and air conditioners from anywhere and at any time with the assistance of features such as Map View which is available through the SmartThings app on Android and iOS mobile devices.
This integration requires users of these devices to input their personal information to connect and be able to manage them conveniently from anywhere. Thus, people surrender their personal information such as names, phone numbers, emails, and passwords.
However, this is another benefit derived from the advancements in technology and communication. But how do we protect ourselves from the risks that come with these changes? Most people assume that because a television is a device we use and leave at home or in our workplaces, it’s not at risk of being exposed to cybercrime.
The truth is, that we should be careful and ensure the security of our personal information on all technological and communication devices we use.
In acknowledging this, Samsung introduced the Knox in 2013 to protect its operating systems and electronic devices.
Samsung Knox is a business platform for managing and controlling mobile devices – it brings efficiency and provides customized uses in various sectors. It ensures that mobile device infrastructure is connected, secure, and productive.
Since its inception over ten years ago, it has protected nearly two billion Samsung devices and is used to manage over 150 million devices. Trusted worldwide, Knox has helped over 35,000 businesses achieve their goals globally.
So, as a Samsung television customer, you no longer need to worry about personal information due to the presence of Knox.
Samsung Knox actively detects potential hacking threats in real time, flagging any unauthorized changes in critical sectors of Tizen OS. It verifies web pages accessed by users, preemptively blocking phishing sites to safeguard user data and privacy.
It ensures seamless protection of users’ sensitive personal data through a secure connection with Samsung Knox Vault, a dedicated processor for security functions.
You may be wondering why it’s important to use a television brand that prioritizes the security of your personal information. But remember that the advent of modern television sets has brought opportunities for the use of various internet-connected services such as sports platforms, movies, games, and entertainment, as well as the ability to browse different information sites, all of which, in one way or another, require you to input your personal information.
