Samsung devices are always running in a hardware-backed trusted environment. They’re designed to block any attempts at tampering, from boot-up, runtime, and even when powered off.
Personal data on Samsung devices is protected from mobile threats such as ransomware, malware, and unauthorized rooting, even while you’re using your device.
