Samsung has created a security app that is so popular and airtight, it has already passed one billion downloads in the Google Play store. Samsung Secure Folder is a security app available for both general and enterprise business use. The app is making all Samsung devices that run the Android 7 operating system or later a more secure place to store secure information.
The Samsung Secure Folder incorporates all the many encryption and data protection features Samsung has developed over its years as a top global smartphone manufacturer.
Already well-known for their security and privacy tools, a recent review of the Samsung Secure Folder on forbes.com says the app turns “security up to eleven the Samsung way.”
Using Samsung Knox – technology that has kept enterprise business data secure for many years – the app uses multi-level security to safely store data within the phone. This data is not accessible to anyone except to its owner. Even people who have access to the phone – whether they’re friends, family, or malicious hackers – cannot gain access to the Secure Folder. This encrypted container within the phone is a lockbox of sorts and can be used to keep sensitive data close at hand without risking someone else gaining access if the phone is lost or stolen. The app includes runtime and boot protection that blocks security bypass requests, plus boot integrity verification. For enterprise businesses, this secure folder is the perfect place for employees to store sensitive customer data or payment information.
The Samsung Secure Folder comes pre-installed on the latest models of Samsung phones; it can also be added to any Samsung phone using Android 7 or higher with a Samsung account.
