SAMSUNG KNOX : The Best Security In The World !

WHAT IS SAMSUNG KNOX ?

We all know that how important it is to keep our smartphone secure and the inbuilt security software plays a big role in device security. Apple is very much popular for their security which is SoCs, the Secure Enclave. We think that Android lags behind Apple in terms of security but now it's not the case. In Google Pixel we get Titan Security and the security about which we are going to discuss further is KNOX Security provided by Samsung. So some people think that KNOX Security means only the Secure Folder on their devices but it is way more than that.

Samsung KNOX was launched in March 2013 and Samsung was claiming it as one of the best security software at the time of release. It was launched for the Android OS and Tizen OS. It is not just a normal security feature but it is an feature made by integration of hardware and software. This KNOX security protects Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, Samsung Health and the Secure Folder. 

REASONS YOU SHOULD TRUST SAMSUNG KNOX !

So what are the reasons because of which you should trust KNOX Security. In October 2014, NSA (National Security Agency) of USA approved their employees to use Samsung Galaxy Devices to do their private work because it is very secure. Not only this but worldwide government agencies trust KNOX Security to protect their highly secretive data. Here are some of these agencies: DISA (USA), BSI (Germany), ANSSI(France), Traficom(Finland), ISCCC(China), CCN(Spain), STRK(Kazakhstan), etc. In this list there are also some Military Organizations which make the use of KNOX Security. Samsung KNOX Security also got the award for Best Mobile Innovation For Building Trust In The Digital Age At MWC(Mobile World Congress).

HOW DOES KNOX SECURES YOUR DEVICE ?

Now lets discuss about how Samsung KNOX secures your device. Just assume that you are uploading your picture on social media it means that you are sending your data to that social media platform's server, and the you send that data to server it is in an unencrypted form. So there is a huge chance of Man in the Middle attack. So when you use Knox Security it creates a funnel through which your data goes to the server, it is more like a VPN Shield and breaking this security is next to impossible.

CAN WE HACK KNOX ?

Yes ! In February 2017, a Google project called PROJECT ZERO was assigned to find the vulnerabilities in the KNOX Security and some analysists had managed to find the trick to bypass the real time Kernel Protection but later on Samsung has fixed this vulnerability. But we should know that anything which is present on the internet can be hacked but it's not that easy. Samsung KNOX is World-Class Security service so it is very tough to hack the system.
