From smartphones to PCs, Samsung Knox helps safeguard personal and professional data across the Galaxy ecosystem
March marks Fraud Prevention Month in Canada, a national campaign focused on helping Canadians recognize, reject and report fraud. As more everyday activities move online, from banking and communication to work and collaboration, strong cybersecurity protections are becoming an essential part of preventing fraud and safeguarding sensitive information.
With the launch of the new Galaxy S26 Series smartphones and Galaxy Book6 Series, Samsung continues to strengthen its cybersecurity-first approach across the Galaxy ecosystem, helping Canadians protect personal and professional data in an increasingly connected world.
Together, these trends reflect a broader reality: as digital tools become more connected and intelligent, cybersecurity is playing a growing role in helping prevent fraud and protect personal and business data.
During Fraud Prevention Month, Samsung is highlighting how its latest Galaxy devices are designed with cybersecurity and privacy built into their foundation, helping users stay protected while supporting productivity across work and everyday life.
Cybersecurity Built From the Chip Up
Samsung’s security approach begins at the hardware level. At the center of this protection is Knox Vault[1], a dedicated hardware-based security environment designed to safeguard the most sensitive information stored on a device.
Knox Vault pairs a secure processor with isolated memory to protect sensitive data such as passwords, PINs, biometric credentials and encryption keys. By physically separating this information from the rest of the system, Knox Vault helps defend against both remote cyberattacks and physical tampering.
Because Knox Vault operates independently from the main processor, it works continuously in the background to help protect sensitive information.
For businesses and IT teams, this hardware-backed cybersecurity architecture supports enterprise-grade protection, enabling organizations to confidently deploy Galaxy S26 smartphones and Galaxy Book6 PCs across their workforce.
Privacy and Cybersecurity in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into everyday technology, devices are increasingly processing personal and professional data, from sensitive business documents to personal communications. Samsung addresses this challenge through privacy-first Galaxy AI experiences, prioritizing on-device processing whenever possible across both mobile and PC devices, including Galaxy S26 and Galaxy Book6 series[2].
Many AI-powered features across the Galaxy ecosystem can complete tasks locally on the device rather than sending sensitive data to external servers. This approach helps reduce external data exposure while maintaining performance and responsiveness. On the Galaxy Book6, this is especially critical for professionals handling confidential files, enterprise data, and AI-assisted workflows.
Combined with Samsung Knox security, including hardware-backed protection and secure architecture across all devices, this layered approach helps users benefit from powerful AI capabilities while maintaining strong cybersecurity protections across work and personal use.
A New Layer of Privacy for Everyday Use
Cybersecurity also extends beyond protecting data from digital threats, it includes safeguarding information in everyday environments.
Samsung’s Privacy Display[3] innovation on the Galaxy S26 Ultra helps protect users from “shoulder surfing,” where sensitive information on a screen may be visible to others nearby.
Developed with more than five years of engineering and testing, Privacy Display allows users to customize visibility settings depending on their needs. Users can activate privacy protection when entering passwords, accessing sensitive apps or reviewing confidential information, while notification settings can also be adjusted to limit what appears on screen.
Secure Productivity Across the Galaxy Ecosystem
The Galaxy S26 Series, including Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra, combines powerful mobile performance with Samsung’s defense-grade Knox security platform, helping users securely manage communications, financial information and work applications.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Book6 Series, including Galaxy Book6, Galaxy Book6 Pro and Galaxy Book6 Ultra, brings Samsung’s cybersecurity-first approach to the PC experience. Designed for productivity, collaboration and hybrid work, the series integrates Knox-based protections to help safeguard business data, credentials and sensitive files.
Together, these devices support Samsung’s broader Knox Matrix vision, extending cybersecurity protections across connected Galaxy devices and helping users stay protected throughout their digital ecosystem.

[3] Privacy Display feature controls the screen’s viewing angle to limit peripheral vision and must be activated in Settings. Activation for specific apps also available through the Settings. Some changes in image quality may occur outside the viewing angle. Some information may still be visible to others depending on the viewing environment, such as angle or brightness.
