Security & Privacy

Overview

The rapidly changing IT environment has developed a variety of devices and services and led to an explosive increase in personal data. In other words, the scope and amount of personal data to be protected have also been expanded. Data breach because of security incidents leads to the invasion of user privacy, and their impact is growing. As a result, there is a growing demand to strengthen security and protect privacy, and various regulations to protect users’ personal data are also increasing.

Therefore, it is crucial to protect various devices/services and users’ data by providing strong security technology and complying with various privacy regulations.

Our Vision

Samsung Research recognizes the importance of security in dealing with the challenges mentioned above. We play an important role in delivering innovative security solutions to enhance the security level of Samsung products as well as in developing and deploying privacy protection solutions so that users can have a safe and reliable life experience with Samsung products. In addition, with the emergence of new technologies or services such as Generative AI, users can be exposed to a variety of new threats. We have to identify and mitigate such threats so that users can enjoy them safely.

To achieve these goals and enhance the security and privacy of Samsung products and services, Samsung Research is building a new security platform, which connects Samsung devices and mutually protects each other, and are developing privacy technologies to provide users with a differentiated safe experience. Furthermore, we are proactively researching next-generation security and privacy technologies necessary for the future service environments such as Generative AI.

Research Topics

We are focusing on new threats and opportunities emerging with Generative AI. In order to provide secure AI usage for our customers, we are establishing new risk criteria for Generative AI and developing technology to verify the security & safety of such AI.
To prevent the misuse of AI-generated content, we are actively developing data sovereignty technologies that track the provenance of data and ensure its secure sharing. Furthermore, we are developing AI-based security solutions that leverage Generative AI to better identify and fix security vulnerabilities in software.
We are building the next-generation security platform for future and emerging service environments. By developing a flexible and scalable security platform and next-generation HW-based system security technologies, we provide robust security across various computing environments. We research technologies to provide the same level of security not only on users' devices, but also on the servers and clouds we operate, to ensure a fundamental protection plan is in place.
Finally, we are always considering how to protect users' safety in daily life and enable them to use devices without privacy concerns. We are researching privacy protection technologies to prevent unintended exposure of personal information and advanced authentication technologies to enhance security.
