In a simplified way, sensitive information is saved in a separate partition and can only be viewed/copied after validating the users' identity.
In addition to the two-step verification, the Samsung highlights that its platform has deep-level security, frequent operating system updates, encryption key protection, system health review and a team called “hackers do bem”, which look for possible loopholes that can be corrected before malicious people find out.
On smartphones, the solution is widely seen in practice with the use of Safe paste, which made its debut in 2018, at the launch of Galaxy Note 9, and protects photos, documents and applications with an extra layer of security. But the work of the security layer affects all parts of the smartphone: a malware scan is done from time to time and all files are saved in the cell phone's storage. And this also applies to devices such as smart TVs, robot vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioning and even the oven.
