Samsung One UI 8 introduces advanced security features for Galaxy smartphones

The new One UI 8 update for Galaxy smartphones by Samsung focuses on enhancing security and privacy features. With on-device AI protections and quantum-resistant encryption, the update aims to safeguard user data from evolving digital threats.

Quantum-resistant encryption is a key addition, offering protection for files, messages, and passwords against hacking attempts as computing power increases. The update also introduces improved data management and threat detection through Knox Matrix, enhancing user control over information and defense against online threats.

Moreover, the update includes on-device protections that monitor for suspicious activity, block harmful apps, and prevent phishing attempts. The Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) system isolates personal app data in encrypted containers, providing a secure environment for sensitive information storage.

KEEP, integrated with Knox Vault, ensures the security of credit card details, passwords, and biometric data even if the operating system is compromised. This integration enables features like Now Brief and Smart Gallery search without compromising user privacy.

Furthermore, Knox Matrix has been updated to enhance threat detection and containment across connected Galaxy devices, while Secure Wi-Fi now features advanced encryption methods resistant to potential quantum computing attacks, ensuring stronger security for Wi-Fi connections.
