One of the main concerns with the use of cell phones is related to security. Proof of this is Samsung, which has increasingly invested in this area. Recently, the South Korean brand explained why its devices are safe.
Before going into Samsung’s explanation, it’s important to go back in time a little, more specifically to 2013. In the year in question, the South Korean giant launched its Knox security platform, which continues to be fundamental in the brand’s new cell phones. .
Recently, Samsung made a post on its official blog, explaining how it keeps you safe. As Phone Arena points out, there are two essential features working in Knox: Auto Blocker and Message Guard.
Autoblocker detects potentially dangerous applications
Starting with the first, it is known that it has the ability to stop unauthorized app installations. With Auto Blocker, it is possible to detect malware agents and possible viruses.
This tool was only launched last year and is an optional feature. In other words, you only do it if you want. However, when it comes to security, we believe it is in your best interest to be as protected as possible. Just follow these steps:
Open settings
Go to Security and Privacy
Click on Auto Blocker
Activate it
Another fight that Auto Blocker “carries on its back” has to do with sideloading, that is, the transfer of files between two local devices. Putting this aside, it means that it will be very difficult for you to suffer from phishing scams, with Auto Blocker working.
Message Guard quarantines files
Also Message Guard is a great security complement to Auto Blocker. As the name suggests, it has the ability to identify which images you receive are dangerous.
According to the same source, Message Guard can isolate images and other files that have potential danger. Thus, these are sent to a kind of “prison cell” on your cell phone, where potential threats are located.
In practice, it is as if the files were quarantined, so that they can be observed as carefully as possible. The compatibility of this feature is quite wide, serving WhatsApp, Messenger, or even Google messages, for example.
Therefore, it is always reassuring to know that Samsung guarantees your maximum security. The dangers linked to mobile phones are countless and it is essential to always be ready to face the various malware agents.
